Printing on clothing - What options are there?

Vinyl Printing - Small Print Runs: 0-25 Units

Vinyl print is when a sheet of coloured vinyl is cut out and heat pressed to the clothing. This process is ideally suited to short run promotional use. You don't see vinyl printed clothing on the shop floor for sale, that's screen print - but you can guarantee when you're in a bar or club and the barmaid turns round with 'crew' written on her back, that's vinyl. The vinyl sticks to the surface of the cloth.

Vinyl printing does have a high unit cost, but without associated costs, like screen setup charges, therefore it is perfect for short runs of one or two colour work. Most logos or messages can be conveyed in one colour (mono) so as long as you're not too hung up on your full colour logo, a run of vinyl tee's will do the trick. This price list is based on small orders of up to 50 units. If you would like to order more please consider screen printing. Prices exclude clothing costs and vinyl setup costs (artwork dependant). You can always supply your own sourced clothing - this must be suitable for printing. These prices are for standard vinyl, other vinyls are available, including foils, glitters, flock and iridescent (night time) vinyl's.

Screen printing - Larger Print Runs: 25+ Units

For larger runs your items will be best, screen printed. This minimum unit count is 25 units. If you plan to print less than 25 units please see our vinyl cost matrix, its more cost effective. Prices include screen setup costs but exclude clothing costs (artwork dependant). You can always supply your own sourced clothing - this must be suitable for printing.

Screen printed clothing is for long runs, it's what you'll find in stores, with a cool design on. Screen printing is excellent for low cost, professional branded and printed clothing. Dependant on the design, many cool effects can be achieved. These prices below are for standard screen printing inks, but we can also screen print using 'puffy inks' and thermal inks.

When calculating how many colours (or screens) you'll need for your print, screen print needs careful thought. It's not as simple as CMYK. You can't just put down yellow and blue to make green. Every colour within the artwork, will need it's own screen, so look carefully at your art and think 'can I reduce the amount of different colours in this job?' because it could save you a fortune. It's not rare for a full colour job to actually need 8, 9 or even 10 screens. If in doubt, send us your art and we'll advise you.

Embroidery

Use the matrix below for embroidery pricing. Prices exclude clothing costs but do include the embroidery setup, based on a 5000 stitch logo/text (artwork dependant). Embroidery is usually used on the left breast (your left breast), or on a sleeve (short sleeve polo or shirt). We also do caps and hats.

Embroidery is often seen as a higher quality branding process to vinyl printing a logo - better because when your logo is full colour, this can be achieved with embroidery. Embroidery works similarly to screen printing, full colour isn't really full colour - it achieving a result from, say, 32 available colours.
