Custom Silk-Screening & Embroidery
We partner with the best silk-screening and embroidery contractors in the business. Their dedication to excellence and the quality of their work is one of the many reasons we continue to grow our apparel business. We never compromise on quality, and we use only the best printing inks and embroidery threads.
Custom Silk-screening
A screen is prepared by exposing a film to a screen covered in a layer of light-sensitive emulsion and, after processing, the resulting image is a clear area on the screen which allows the ink through. Most t-shirts are screen printed, and very high-quality results are obtained. Designs may be printed in CMYK/four-color process, or with multiple spot colors. Pricing is based on the number of colors and locations of each design. A separate screen is required for each color of your design. Screens are washed and reused for new designs, meaning re-set charges may apply for repeat orders. This process requires EPS vector artwork of your design or logo, or we will create a custom design for your special occasion.
Custom Embroidery
The first step for custom embroidery is to program or “digitize” your design. For this procedure we can use a simple jpeg of your design, or a design we create for you, which is programmed into a computer code our embroidery machines can understand. Digitizing programs the computer to know where to start and end the design, when to switch colors, what size the design should be and the number of stitches.
