Screen Printing
Our screen printing service specialises in high-quality garment decoration using eco-friendly water-based inks. Ideal for fashion brands and promotional merchandise, we handle t-shirt printing, hoodie printing, and tote bag printing with precision. The process involves creating detailed stencils on mesh screens to transfer ink onto fabrics, ensuring vibrant, long-lasting results. Our Norwich facility uses MHM automated machinery for consistent quality across small and large orders.
Embroidery
We offer professional embroidery services for workwear and corporate branding, with over 30 years of combined team experience. Using premium Madeira threads, we create durable designs on polo shirts, jackets, and accessories. Our in-house digitisation process converts logos into precise stitch patterns, ensuring sharp results. The service caters to both single-item orders and bulk uniform requirements, supporting businesses and local organisations across Norfolk.
Ethical Garments
Our ethical garment range features organic cotton t-shirts, recycled polyester workwear, and carbon-neutral apparel. These sustainable options align with our environmental mission while maintaining commercial viability. Garments are printed using phthalate-free inks and WRAP-certified production methods. We advise clients on ethical sourcing choices without compromising on quality or brand identity requirements.
Garment Finishing
We provide comprehensive garment finishing services to elevate your products to retail standards. This includes woven labels, hang tags, poly bagging, and re-labelling solutions. Our attention to detail enhances brand presentation through professional touches like hem tags and custom patches. These finishing options add value to branded merchandise while maintaining efficient turnaround times.
Leavers Hoodies
Our leavers hoodie service creates lasting mementos for schools and educational institutions. Available in various styles, these hoodies feature custom screen printing or embroidery of school crests and student names.

I've been using ESP Merchandise for screenprinted merch for my brand for nearly a year now, and I always keep coming back. Their staff are very helpful and are experts in their field - my orders usually take up to two weeks, even in the uncertain times of the COVID virus. The prices are affordable and the quality is great. They also offer sustainable clothing options (and inks) for the environmentally conscious consumer, which is very relevant and important in this day and age.
