bespoke cuflinks, badges, pin badges, key rings


Of late a lot of clients have been asking for bespoke, high quality badges and keyrings, we all know the generic items that are out there some cheap plastic some you can only brand in a very small or poor way, so we have over a long period of time built up relationships with factories all over the world for various items and thought this was worth a mention as this job has just been delivered, the cuflink is as per your clients requirments, and because it was made to order, gives a far superior finished item than something anyone could find on the shelf. The cuflink comes an a clear presentation box, and was turned around, in less than 4 weeks. Theposibilities are endless and are not as costly as you might expect, so pin badges, trolley keyrings, cuff links and any shape or size of key ring to promote a far better brand / product is well worth considering in your marketing plans.

updated print systems transfers, and full colour Garment printing in house

Well we finally updated some of our print kit, I have been looking for some time at what is avalible on the market, and considered what would be the best solution for our clients needs, and to give us a more diverse offering to clients. We decided to go with Xpres transfer systems http://www.xpres.co.uk/ for two main reasons, 1 the finish of the print product is second to none, and 2 the full colour transfers will wash and survive upto 80c washes, which means we can use this system reliably in our work wear offering , and also suppliy the short run T-shirt or any garment market with a reliable permanent decoration, and because of the simplicity of the system is very cost effective, which means we can offer good quality garment decoration, fast turn around and know it will last, which is more than can be said for other offerings out there on the market, the direct to garment machines were considered, and on paper seem very simple, but Ithink the tecnology has further to progress, and work as it sounds, their are specialists that know this technology well and we have access to their trade suppliy, so when a job arises that is more suited to this system we can still have this avalible.





So this year we have invested in four new embroidery machines, new cad transfer systems, and full colour transfer systems, also having our staff trained in the operation and software, we have samples readily avalible, and have already started to suppliy with fantastic results the print, and also to very short lead times.



We are also constainly investing in our order processing software, and this is currently being updated, we had this system made bespoke with our own programmer, because we wanted full control of the functionality, ease of use and be able to modify quickly for our customers needs, which is proving to have been a wise move in the workwear and promotional markets.
