We can match any school, club or corporate colour you need via the sublimation process. Sublimation is the permanent application of ink onto material via high pressure and temperature. The design, logo’s and numbers are all incorporated into the print, which creates endless possibilities. Please supply any reference (PANTONE or sample) of your colours so we can make sure the end result is to your approval. Note that colours may vary slightly due to unexpected variables.
The fabrics we use for all our garments are high quality, moisture management fabrics that ensure movability and durability for all applications. All fabrics are locally sourced and produced. Please feel free to inquire about the different types we use and which you would prefer.

Please ensure an electronic version (e.g. Photoshop, Corel draw / PDF / EPS / TIFF / JPEG) of the logos required are sent through with your orders. Please check the proof that will be sent to you for logo positioning and colours. If you need a new logo designed or if we have to redraw a logo or emblem due to poor quality sample, there might be extra charges and proofs will be sent to you for approval. A clear sample or example will be needed for a redraw of logos. All corporate logos supplied as vector artwork MUST comply with Logo Guides.
Format
ELECTRONIC The preferred format for logos is in vector format that is CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator files (or PDF / EPS if converted from original files). Otherwise a TIFF, Bitmap or JPEG with a high resolution. HARD COPY If there is not an electronic version of the logo available, the logo will need to be supplied as a good quality hard copy. This can be a paper copy or laser printout but a redraw charge will be added to your order.

The Sublimation Process
Sublimation printing works by printing out the artwork onto a sheet of heat resistant paper with a sublimation printer.
The ink used by the printer is formulated to react to the high heat and pressure administered by a sublimation heat press. The print out contains the complete, full-color art and it is laid onto the blank fabric.
In the Heat press, the dye is released from the sheet as a gas and the print is absorbed by the material.
Once the transfer is complete, the print is locked into the finished product permanently.

The Sizing Process
How to Measure
Regardless of the brand, all garments are hand made or sewn by using machinery that physically requires a “human touch”.
No garments are “popped out” of machines, every garment is sewn by hand.
Choose your Favorite fitting shirt
Make sure it’s a Polo shirt if you are choosing a Polo, a Dress shirt if you are choosing a Dress shirt or Tee if choosing a Tee.
Lay the Shirt Flat on the table
This is the easy part, now smooth the shirt flat.
Measuring
Measure approx 2.5cm down from where the sleeve is sewn on the body.
Half chest measurements
Measure from the invisible 2.5cm down mark across the shirt, go from seam to seam.
(Example: after measuring your shirt has a 57cm half chest measurement.)
