DECORATION METHODS

APPLIQUE

Using computer assisted sewing machines; appliqué combines direct embroidery and a variety of optional materials such as: wool felt, acrylic felt, polyester twill, cotton twill and much more to create countless decoration choices. Traditionally one of the more expensive methods of decoration, Appliqué designs are used in a variety of promotional, retail, corporate and athletic inspired garments creating an ultra premium look and feel.

DEBOSS

A die is created from a logo image and is then depressed into the leather, suede, polyester or other fabric types using a combination of high heat and pressure. This process allows the image to be depressed and sit below the fabrics surface; sometimes referred to as blind stamping. This method has become more popular than Embossing, as no backing is required to maintain the graphics shape.

EMBOSS

The raising of an image on a product, accomplished by pressing the leather, suede or fabric between concave and convex dies so that the image is raised above the surface of the garment or accessory. This method offers a premium tone-on-tone look without adding any additional products to the fabric. This method requires a backing to hold the achieved
3 dimensional shapes, known as Bossback Foam, or Bossback Leather Fill.

EMBROIDERY

A stitch file (DST) is created and the design is stitched onto the leather or fabric item through the use of high speed, computer controlled sewing machines. The design is reproduced with tightly-stitched thread. Fine detail may be difficult to achieve.

HEAT TRANSFER

SEAMLESS HEAT TRANSFER™ is an innovative process providing a soft touch, full colour printed design, free of any borders or contours around intricate portions of designs. This process is ideal for small designs with intricate text, able to print up to 8 point font seamlessly. This process is printed using CMYK colour values, and offers an unlimited amount of colours and gradients in a single design.

HEAT TRANSFER - Solutions™ is an entire line of innovative heat transfer materials perfect for printing high quality, long lasting graphics.

LASER EMBELLISHMENT

Laser embellishing offers the next generation of tone-on-tone decoration. A concentrated beam of high energy light is used to etch into fabrics and other materials while moving across a pre-determined course of up to 13" x 13".

Incorporating the same cutting-edge technology used in medical laser applications, you can create very fine detail on virtually any synthetic fabric. Extremely precise, you can create shapes and patterns as small as one-eighth inch square and text as tiny as eight-point type. Due to the fact that intensity can be controlled, it's possible to use the laser on a wide variety of products such as: leather golf shoes, wooden bar taps, picture frames, clothing hangers, glass and so much more.

*White fabrics are not recommended for use with laser embellishing. Black and Navy fabrics are very tonal in detail. Some fabrics may be more difficult to see your finished design than others.

SCREEN PRINT

Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. Each colour is laid down separately and requires a spate mesh screen for each colour in your graphic.

TACKLE TWILL

Using polyester Twill, designs are cut from 51 available colours and can be directly sewn onto a variety of fabric types. Choose from hundreds of pre-designed fonts, or create your own custom look. Tackle Twill letting and numbering can be found on many retail clothing pieces, as well as almost all professional sports team uniforms and sideline clothing.
A variety of premium fabrics are also available for this service including: Glacier Twill, Metallic Twill, Acrylic and Wool Felt.

ULTRADECAL 3D

"UltraDecal 3D” embellishment refers to a premium decoration method that adds texture and dimension to printed materials using digital technologies, creating a tactile and visually appealing effect. This technique is created from a polyurethane base with raised printing atop the design to add depth and texture. The process is printed in a CMYK process and must be created as one sold piece free of cavities or loose text.

UltraDecal 3D embellishment leverages digital processes to create textures and effects on printed materials, going beyond traditional methods like screen printing or Traditional flat heat transfers. The raised or textured elements add a tactile dimension to printed products, making them more engaging and memorable for consumers.

UltraDecal 3D embellishments offer several advantages, including:
Enhanced Value: Adding a premium touch to printed materials, increasing their perceived value and marketability.
Competitive Advantage: Offering unique and high-quality embellishments can help print businesses stand out in the market.
