It all started 25 years ago. Paul finished a degree in obscure eastern religions, and was surprised to find he couldn't get a job. Not a problem, a friend had a sewing machine, and while waiting for publishers to stop laughing at his first novel, he decided to make a few loud shirts for pleasure and profit.
But interesting fabric was hard to come by, so after a collection made from saris and African headdress material, he decided to print his own designs. Limping into Nottingham Trent University after a nasty gardening accident, he found his way to the Textile Department, met Jane and told her a pack of lies about how successful his designs would be if only he knew how to print fabric.

Artwork Origination
Report
It can all be a bit of a minefield. But that's what we're here for. In an ideal world Photoshop or Illustrator would be nice, although a high resolution jpeg will nail it, sent as an email (under 10 Mb please, so the computer doesn't go bang), on a disk, or USB. Screen Print - please supply artwork at 300 dpi at the print size.
Screen Printing
Report
Digital is super detailed, and we think have created some lovely examples - there are some size restrictions, it can't go quite as massive as screen print, and our biggest concern it should be said, is that is that it may now be too widely available - does it give us the ability to really stand out from all the others?
Embroidery
Report
Embroidery - an embroidery service is traditionally used in our sector to embroider a school sweatshirt or a plumber's polo, done right though it can still be a nice touch. Lyle and Scott have sold a few cardys off the back of it after all. Range building - one of the most useful features of this technique is the way it sits across multiple garment styles.
Relabelling
Report
Relabelling and garment finishing is not a problem for non-retail based clothing, but for most of our customers it's not an option if we want to present a finished product. We can, and only supply and apply, the 'high definition' woven or printed labels, badges or swing tickets, to ensure you don't get laughed out of the buyer's office when selling into the high street, or get a call from disgruntled of Chipping Sodbury when selling online.
