Not sure which one fits? Order a sample in two fabrics and wash it three times. The sample fee comes off your order when you place it, so the comparison is effectively free.
Corporate uniforms, formal shirts, workwear and hospitality wear are woven, not knitted. The fabrics above do not apply to them — we source woven fabric per order and quote it with the job.
DecorationPrinted and stitched
Printed and stitched
in the same building.
Screen printing, embroidery, DTF and sublimation all happen here. A decorated garment never leaves the site mid-process, which is what keeps lead times short — and means one team is answerable for the fabric and the print.
