OUR PRINT PROCESS

Traditional Craft. Modern Standards.

We believe the way clothing is made matters just as much as the finished product. From the inks we choose to the garments we recommend, every decision is made with quality, durability and sustainability in mind.

Hand Screen Printed in South Wales.

Every garment we produce is printed by hand using traditional silk screen printing methods — not mass-produced by automated machinery.

This slower, hands-on approach allows us to create clothing with character, care and quality control at every stage.

Vegan Water-Based Inks Only.

We print exclusively using high-quality vegan water-based inks.

These inks are free from the heavy plastics commonly found in vinyl transfers and plastisol prints, making them a more responsible choice for both people and planet.

Softer Feel. Longer Lasting Wear.

Unlike heat-applied vinyl, water-based inks soak into the fibres of the garment rather than sitting as a plastic layer on top.

This means the ink has a softer feel against the skin and creates a breathable print that moves naturally. It also provides excellent wash durability, doesn’t crack or peel, and can be ironed directly.

One Colour by Design.

We specialise in bold, single-colour printing. Why? Because great branding is often simple, strong and instantly recognisable. Single-colour prints offer a timeless, clean design, with excellent durability and lower waste production.

By specialising in one-colour printing we've refined our entire process around doing one thing exceptionally well. That means lower costs, faster production and beautifully crisp prints that stand the test of time.

The Beauty of Hand Printing.

Because each garment is printed individually by hand, slight print variations may occur from piece to piece. These are not faults — they are part of the authentic nature of hand-crafted screen printing and a mark of genuine slow production.

Prints take on a vintage feel due to the soft, semi-opaque inks, and no two prints are ever entirely identical.
