EMBROIDERY
Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric with designs stitched in strands of thread.
Driven by computers that read digitized embroidery fi les, embroidery machines
automatically create a design on the product in the form of the logo that was input into
the machine.
• Classic decoration technique
• Creates a high value look
• Suitable for both fl at and irregular surfaces
• Allows single and multi-colour branding
• Logos can be embroidered in up to 9 didifferent thread colours

HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING
A digital image is printed onto a special vinyl surface, which is then placed onto the
product in the correct position. At this point the product is placed in a heat press, and the
heat from the press melts the adhesive backing on the vinyl, merging it with the fabric.
Mainly used where a logo is too intricate for screen printing
• Perfect for logos with many colours, extreme detail and small text
• Vinyl is not cut to the shape of the logo so the flexibility of the product may be a affected

SCREEN PRINTING
Screen Printing is the process whereby a logo is exposed onto a mesh screen, with the blank areas coated with an impermeable substance.
Ink is then placed onto the screen and a squeegee pushes the ink through the screen
in the areas where the logo has been imposed. Colours are printed one at a time so
accurate registration is essential.
• Cost-e ective solution for larger quantities

bold logos

items like notebooks and folders
