Custom Printed Clothing Designs



There are many approaches to designing custom printed clothing and apparel. The best approach will depend on the intended use of the design. A social group may want a different end product than a single individual or a professional organisation. Luckily Everything Vibrant offers processes and products designed to meet every need.

Photo-Realistic Imagery

Dye sublimation printing is a technique that allows for production of lab quality photographic images. Clothing printed with this method has a soft feel to the images. The image is non-cracking, non-fading and can be extremely detailed. Traditional screen printing produces an end product with limited colours, sharp edges to the design and is stiff. Dye sublimation uses heat to bond the colours to the fibre while other processes just lay it on top of the fabric.

Sporting Team Shirts and Gear

Everything Vibrant specialises in creating wholesale clothing lettering and numbering for organisations like sports teams and businesses. Lettering can come in a number of different fonts and sizes, with 20 cm being standard for back playing names and numbers. Everything Vibrant can match particular colours if needed. They can create easily applied garment decorations to fulfil any size order.

High Visibility Gear for Work and Play

Many people use high visibility clothing daily. Those who work at night find safety wear to be invaluable. There are also hobbyists such as cyclists and runners who wear reflective safety gear to be easy to see in the dark. Everything Vibrant can print reflective vinyl designs onto garments.

The Printing Process 

Everything Vibrant prides itself on an easy and streamlined process for custom designs. Each prospective design's artwork is submitted at sales@everythingvibrant.com.au. They can easily use vector art in PDF or EPS form if it has CMYK color formatting. They take each logo and convert it before printing. Special large scale machinery is used to turn each design into a transfer that can be applied to a piece of clothing. Each print is inspected, all excess print media removed and then the transfer receives a protective lamination layer. Each individual design arrives ready to be applied to a garment. A hot iron or a heat press is then used to permanently bond the inks to the fabric of the chosen clothing.
