We are unable to assist with a storefront or to facilitate pickups but can arrange samples and provide information for showrooms available of the brands that we wholesale. 

 

 

5. Are we able to supply our own items for decoration?

 

Our business model is structured on garment wholesale & decoration of bulk orders, so we are unable to help with supplied garments. In combination with our wholesale garments, our moq's and prices are in place to offer the best quality and sharpest prices for bulk orders. 
We are official wholesalers of a few dozen brands that we supply. 99% of the time our clients find that it is much more affordable and streamlined for us to supply & decorate than other alternatives. The brands that we work with are also specifically made for decoration, so this also allows for better consistency & quality control.

The 30pcs can be made up of different garment sizes, colour and styles as long as the print remains the same

We offer heavy discounts at quantites of 50+, 100+, 200+ and so on. So the more you order, the more you save!

9. What is the difference between DTG & Screen printing?  

 

SCREEN PRINTING
- 30pcs MOQ per design

- The greatest washability

- The most vibrant prints 

- Typically becomes the most affordable option at 30-50+pcs

- The price increases per colour. A screen is required per colour and position.

- Suitable for printing on most fabric types

- Ability to print neon colours and special effect inks such metallic gold/silver

- Gradient and Photographic printing technique achievable with halftone dots.

- Max print size of up to 55cm on some garments.
 


DTG:
-- 20pcs MOQ per design

- Good washability

- Not priced per colour, so it's a great option for orders that have more than a few colours and are under 30-50pcs.

- High resolution prints

- Colours are within the  CMYK colour space, so colour bright colours often look similar to a high quality Desktop printer on standard paper. 

- Cannot reproduce neon colours, or special effect colours such as metallic gold/silver.- Only truly suited to 100% Cotton fabric (AS Colour fleece is an exception)

- Max. print size is also limited to 40cm High.

 

10. What is Screen Printing?  

 

From 30-10,000 prints. Most designs are suitable to be screen printed, however if your design contains a lot of colours and is a smaller quantity (30-50pcs) DTG may be a better option.

State of the art machinery and the highest quality materials  ensures that our Screen Printing is of the highest quality and is very durable.

We have a number of ink options including our standard Plastisol, Waterbase, Discharge, Metallics & Special effects. This is the most cost effective method for 30-50+pcs for minimumal colours and is discounted per order quantity.

Maximum print size is: 40cm x 50cm (Can vary depending on the smallest garment size and the design itself)

 

11. What is DTG printing?

 

This process is fantastic for orders that contain a lot of colours or are photographic where a bulkd run is not required.

Our State of the art DTG printer can achieve incredible detail. DTG printing is ideally suitable for 100% Cotton garments.

Maximum print size is: 35cm x 40cm (Can vary depending on the smallest garment size and the design itself)

NOTE: DTG prints do not have the same durability or brightness as a screen print and the print finish on dark garments is not quite as nice, but it is a great option for when screen printing is not viable. 

 

12. What is Embroidery? 

 

Embroidery is a fantastic option for workwear and apparel that need extreme durability.

Our minimum per order is 20pcs per design

 

13. How many colours can you Screen Print?

 

We can screen print up to 10 colours. The number of colours viable to print will depend on your total order quantity. If you have a lot of colours and only require a small amount of pieces, after discussing your needs, we may guide you toward one of our other processes that will be more suitable, like DTG or our premium transfers.
