You choose a finish for each design in the design studio, under Select Treatment Type: digital print, heat seal (regular, raised glossy, raised dull, puff or reflective), embroidery (standard, 3D, chain stitch or flocking), emboss, and screen print (water-based, plastisol or glow in the dark).
Gold foil, gold thread and a coloured layer on an emboss are available on request.
The finishes
Digital print (DTG): full colour, photos and gradients, with a soft feel.
Heat seal: sharp logos and text in bold colour; regular, raised glossy or raised dull.
Puff heat seal: a raised, 3D-looking print that can do gradients.
Reflective heat seal: silver, one colour, for detail that shows up at night.
Embroidery: standard, 3D (raised), chain stitch, or flocking (a soft, velvet-like finish).
Emboss: a raised logo in the fabric itself, always in the garment's colour.
Screen print: water-based, plastisol or glow in the dark. A one-off A$131 screen charge is added per screen-printed design, so it suits larger runs.
Combining finishes
Each design has its own finish, so you can mix them on one garment, for example a digital print on the back and embroidery on the chest. On request we can also combine finishes in one design, such as embroidery over a digital print for a detailed logo, or foil on an emboss.
