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.
