Every artwork file passes through four stringent quality checkpoints to ensure exact scaling, color fidelity, and structural durability prior to bulk packing.
Artwork is separated into CMYK or spot-color films with halftone dot angles optimized for target fabric weave densities.
Inks are mixed to exact Pantone TCX references, followed by a proto strike-off swatch for client visual and tactile sign-off.
Automatic presses execute print passes with precise squeegee pressure, flash drying between color layers for sharp detail.
Garments pass through gas dryer tunnels at verified cure temps (320°F/160°C), undergoing AQL 2.5 stretch and wash audits.
Work with an audited supply chain partner dedicated to transparent execution, ethical labor standards, and reliable turnaround times.
We print on custom-cut fabric panels prior to sewing or directly on pre-assembled blank garments depending on your design layout requirement.
Our screen printing formulations are free from harmful phthalates and lead, conforming to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 safety requirements.
