Why We Only Brand Clothing We Supply
Share
We get asked most weeks whether we'll print or embroider clothing a customer already has. The answer is no. We only brand clothing we supply.
That can sound like we're turning work away. We're not. We're protecting the thing you're actually paying for, which is a finished garment with your logo on it that looks right on day one and still looks right after fifty washes.
A t-shirt is not just a t-shirt
Two shirts can look identical on a hanger and behave completely differently under a heat press or an embroidery needle. The difference is in things you can't see:
- The fabric blend. Cotton, polyester and mixed blends all take ink and thread differently. Some polyesters bleed dye into a print when heated, so a white logo turns pink.
- The weight and weave. A thin, loose knit puckers under dense embroidery. A heavy one needs a different setting entirely.
- Coatings and finishes. Many retail garments are treated to resist stains or water. That same treatment can stop a print from bonding, so it peels after a few washes.
- Shrinkage. Some garments shrink under heat. A logo that went on straight comes off the press crooked.
With clothing brought in from elsewhere, we can't know any of this in advance. We'd be guessing with your brand.
What we do instead
Every garment in our range has been through our own print and embroidery process. We know how each one behaves, which settings it needs, and how your logo will look on it once it's finished. That's why we can make you a promise: if anything isn't right, we replace it.
We can't make that promise on clothing we didn't supply. If a garment you bought elsewhere is damaged in production, there's no replacement on the shelf, and nobody wins.
The right clothing is half the job
We're not just a printing and embroidery service. Our job is to make your brand look its best, and that starts with the garment itself. The right clothing depends on what your team does all day:
- Trades and construction need kit that survives hard wear and constant washing. See our construction and trades range.
- Care teams need garments that handle hot washes every day without fading. See our healthcare range.
- Front-of-house staff need clothing that holds its shape and colour all shift. See our hospitality range.
- Offices, sports clubs, schools and creative brands each have their own needs too. See our corporate, sports and education ranges.
We've been kitting out UK businesses since 1999, and in that time we've learned which garments earn their place and which don't. That knowledge is part of what you get.
Already got a garment in mind?
If there's a particular style you like, maybe something you've seen elsewhere or already own, send us a link or a photo. We'll find you the closest match from our range and show you a free mockup with your logo on it, before you order anything.
You get the look you wanted, with a result we stand behind.
