DTG (Direct to Garment)

DTG (Direct to Garment)

Ink soaks into fabric — no rubbery feel

Scenario: DTG jets water-based ink straight into the fibers — no plate, no transfer film. The print becomes part of the fabric: soft hand, great for gradients and photo-real designs. Our go-to for light cotton and designer streetwear.

DTF (Direct to Film)

DTF (Direct to Film)

Any fabric, any color, strong adhesion

Scenario: DTF prints onto PET film, then heat-presses onto the garment. No limit on fabric or base color; vivid, durable, works on cotton, polyester, blends, denim. The main process for dark garments and polyester.

Screen Printing

Screen Printing

30-yr prepress roots, lowest cost at volume

Scenario: Screen printing lays ink through a stencil. Our 30 years of prepress show in clean registration and stable color. Highest cost-efficiency for bulk same-design orders.

Screen Prepress & Stencil Making

Screen Prepress & Stencil Making

In-house stencil shop, clean registration

Scenario: Prepress is where the image gets onto the screen: artwork is color-separated and output to film, mesh is stretched on the frame, coated with emulsion, exposed, developed and retouched — one screen per color. A precise stencil is the foundation of clean edges and tight registration. We make screens in-house, never outsourced, so sampling and re-makes stay on our own schedule. Screens can be stored for you and reused on repeat orders at no extra plate fee.

Reflective Transfer

Reflective Transfer

Compliant, visible, wash-durable

Scenario: Reflective markings for workwear, made to the client safety standard, with sampling to verify night visibility and wash durability. Bulk capacity for labor-protection garment makers.

Pad Printing

Pad Printing

Curved and odd-shaped parts, fine detail

Scenario: A silicone pad lifts ink from an etched plate and presses it onto the part. The pad flexes, so it follows curves, recesses and irregular shapes — ideal for small precise marks on hardware, plastic housings, electronics and gift items. Fills the gaps where a flat screen cannot reach.

UV Direct Printing

UV Direct Printing

No plates — print straight onto rigid surfaces

Scenario: UV flatbed and roll-fed printers jet UV ink directly onto the substrate and cure it instantly with UV light. No plate, so a single piece is viable. Vivid color, with optional white-ink build-up for a raised effect. Best for short runs of multi-color, gradient or photo-real artwork on acrylic, metal, glass, tile, wood and device housings.

Labels & Stickers

Labels & Stickers

Roll-fed, any die-cut shape

Scenario: Self-adhesive labels printed on roll stock, then die-cut, stripped and rewound. Screen printing for large solids, UV for multi-color art, foil for metallic accents. We match face stock and adhesive to the surface and the environment — waterproof synthetic, weather-resistant PET, or removable adhesive that leaves no residue.

Crystal Labels (UV DTF)

Crystal Labels (UV DTF)

Peel and stick, no mold, raised 3D feel

Scenario: A crystal label is a UV transfer sticker: UV ink is printed onto a release film, laminated with a transfer film, then pressed onto the part and the carrier peeled away. No mold and no plate, so a single piece is viable, and layered white ink gives a raised, glass-like gloss. It handles what screens and pads cannot — curved surfaces, odd shapes, tiny runs and many designs at once.

Foil Stamping (Gold / Silver)

Foil Stamping (Gold / Silver)

True metallic gloss, small accents

Scenario: Heat and pressure transfer a metallic foil onto the substrate for genuine metal gloss and crisp raised lettering — not an ink that imitates gold. Used for brand marks, gift boxes, notebook covers, webbing and small accents, and pairs with DTG, DTF or screen printing. Foil is matched to the substrate: stretch foil for fabric, standard foil for paper and PU.
