What a finished job looks like
We do not have photographs of our own finished work yet, and we would rather show you nothing than show you somebody else's. What follows is true today: for each of the six disciplines, what the method actually produces and what to tell us so we can quote it.
By method
Apparel Decoration
Screen print, embroidery, DTF, DTG and patches. Tell us the garment, the artwork and roughly how many, and we will tell you which method it should be -- they are not interchangeable and they cost very differently at different quantities.
Graphic Design
Nothing downstream is better than the artwork it came from. Files are built for the process they will run on -- spot colours and clean vector for screen print, a simplified stitch-aware version for embroidery, full-resolution raster at actual print size for DTF and DTG.
3D Printing
Two different jobs with two different bills. If you already have a model, you are paying for material, machine time and the labour to finish the part. If you do not, you are paying for the design work first, and that is quoted on its own.
Promotional Products
Almost every promo quote is the same equation: the item, the decoration method, how many places it is decorated, how many colours, and how many you want. Setup is charged once per imprint and then amortises across the run, which is why the per-piece number falls so sharply with quantity.
Mylar Bags & Flexible Packaging
A mylar bag is a laminate: a printable outer film, a barrier layer, and an inner layer that seals. What it keeps out -- light, oxygen, moisture -- comes from that structure, not from how thick it feels. Constructions include stand-up, flat, side-gusset, quad-seal, flat-bottom and spouted pouches, with press-to-close, slider or certified child-resistant zippers, tamper evidence, tear notches, degassing valves, windows and hang holes. Printing runs three ways: a printed label applied to a stock bag (the lowest entry point and the route for very small runs), a digitally printed pouch (no tooling cost, free artwork changes), or rotogravure (very high tooling cost that only makes sense at high, stable volume). You supply the required label content for your product category; we lay it out, we do not advise on it.
Stickers & Labels
Four decisions make a sticker: how it is cut, what it is printed on, what goes over the top, and how many. Cuts include die-cut, kiss-cut, sheet, roll, transfer decals, static cling, perforated window and floor graphics. Materials run from paper (indoor and dry only) through calendered and cast vinyl to polyester and specialty stocks -- holographic, prismatic, glitter, metallic and reflective. On clear or metallic stock, any colour that has to stay opaque needs a white ink layer under it. Laminate is not a look; it is a sacrificial UV and abrasion layer. Labels come as rolls for applicators, sheets for short runs, BOPP for anything wet, direct or transfer thermal, tamper-evident, scratch-off, and variable-data with sequential numbering or codes.
