Branding Methods

You have selected a garment a need a print putting on it. These are the processes you can choose from, each offering a quality and cost effective option.

The Printing Processes

• Direct to Garment DTG: A process where ink is printed directly onto the cotton fibres of the garment. It is ideal for high-detail, full-color designs like photographs.
• Direct to Film DTF Transfer: A newer technology where a design is printed onto a special film and then heat-pressed onto the clothing. GP Print uses this for durable, vibrant full-color prints that work well on various fabric types. These are applied manually by hand so won't be precision placement.
• Clothing Vinyl Flex Printing: A method involving cutting designs (usually text or simple logos) out of colored vinyl and heat-bonding them to the fabric. It is very durable and commonly used for individual names or numbers on sports kits. These are applied manually by hand so won't be precision placement.
• Embroidery: Instead of ink, the design is stitched into the fabric using thread. GP Print recommends this for heavy-use workwear, caps, and bags as it creates a long-lasting, premium "3D" effect.
• DST Digital Stitching Template: The digital file created by GP Print to tell their embroidery machines how to stitch your specific logo.
• Laser Printed Transfer: A cost effective method that allows for small runs with garments that are only to be worn once for an event or to be put onto garments that don't require a machine wash such as caps and bags. This process comes in two forms for different material types...
• Light garment transfer: A transfer that has no white base so print is best suited for light and white garments.
• Dark garment transfer: A transfer that has a white base so print is ok for all garment types.

Common Printed Garments

• Tees T-Shirts: Available in various weights (grammages) like the Softstyle™ or Heavyweight options. We offer "One Side" or "Two Side" (Front & Back) full-colour printing.
• Zoodies: A "Zip-up Hoodie." These are popular for branding because the zip allows for smaller "pocket-sized" prints on the front and large designs on the back.
• Polos: Usually chosen for business workwear; often combined with Embroidery on the chest for a professional look.
• Sweats & Hoodies: Heavier garments (often 280gsm ) used for promotional wear or staff uniforms.
• Vests / Athletic Vests: Classic sleeveless tops (like Fruit of the Loom Valueweight) with a fine knit gauge optimized for clear printability.
• Hi-Vis: High-visibility safety vests or jackets. These are typically printed with company logos or "STAFF" / "SECURITY" text on the back using black or single-color vinyl. DTF however is a great option for colour logos.

Specialist & Workwear Items

• Premier Orchid Beauty & Spa Tunic: Specialised uniforms designed for the healthcare and beauty industry, suitable for subtle branding.
• Premier Pocket Tabard: Protective over-garments often used in catering or cleaning, which can be printed with names or company logos.
• Aprons: Full-length or waist aprons used in hospitality, often branded with "Direct to Film" transfers to withstand frequent washing.
• Bodywarmers & Jackets: Outerwear that is usually branded via embroidery because the thick or waterproof material can be difficult to print on directly.

Key Printing Terms to Know

• GSM Grams per Square Metre: Refers to the weight/thickness of the fabric. A 160gsm tee is lightweight, while a 240gsm tee is "heavyweight" and more durable for printing.
• Pre-shrunk: Many of their garments like Gildan are pre-shrunk during manufacturing so that your printed design doesn't warp after the first wash.
• Set-up Charge: A one-time fee sometimes applied to convert your artwork into a format suitable for the machines especially for embroidery "digitising stitching template" DST.
