    Our History

    Starting off with one bloke (our Managing Director!) printing T-Shirts in his garage, we’ve grown year upon year based on an enviable reputation built on high quality products and the genuine personal service we provide. We moved out of the garage a very long time ago but everyday strive to keep the passion and pride that started this business 33 years ago at the heart of what we do.

    Our Services

    • Screen Printing – Inks printed directly onto garments, swim hats, bags or accesories. Suitable for single or multi-colour works, a great ‘all rounder’.

       

    • Embroidery – We stitch your design directly onto the garments. Hard-wearing, very professional looking and up to 12 colours are available.

       

    • Digital and CAD Printing – Ideal for ‘one-offs’, short runs, individually named garments, stags & hens etc.
