We specialise in retail-quality screen printing — soft hand feels, bold graphics and highly detailed work that holds up wash after wash. From plastisol to water-based and discharge inks — all PVC and phthalate free — we offer the full range of techniques, including some of the UK's finest simprocess and special effects printing.

Running a ROQ automatic carousel, we handle large orders without compromising on quality. With a capacity of up to 10,000 pieces per week, no order is too large. Whatever the scale, the standard never drops.

Rooted in Manchester's music and fashion scenes, we understand what it means for a print to carry culture. Our work has ended up on the rails at Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, and on the backs of crowds at Frank Ocean shows. We've printed for Adidas, Teletech, MAAP and some of the most respected names in UK independent fashion.

Screen printing is a craft. We treat it like one.

We also offer a complete end-to-end finishing service from our Manchester studio — custom relabelling, tagging and bagging — so your order arrives retail-ready. One supplier, no handoffs.

COMMON QUESTIONS / STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Before we
go to press.

Straight answers about screen printing, embroidery, garment sourcing, finishing and live event printing from our Manchester studio.

Orders and timing

Our minimum for screen printing is 30 pieces per design. Minimums for embroidery and finishing-only jobs can vary; send us the details and we’ll confirm what is practical.

Pricing depends on the garment, quantity, number of print colours and positions, ink or finish, and any relabelling, tagging or bagging. We quote each job properly rather than advertising a misleading headline price.

Standard turnaround is 10–15 working days from artwork sign-off. Rush production may be available depending on our schedule, so include your required date when requesting a quote.

Yes. Our automatic ROQ press gives us capacity for up to 10,000 pieces per week. Available capacity depends on the artwork, finishing requirements and production schedule.

Garments, artwork and printing

We can source garments from our official suppliers and recommend options for your fit, weight and budget. We can also print on suitable customer-supplied stock; any handling charge and spoilage allowance will be confirmed in your quote.

Yes. Sizes can be mixed within an order at no additional charge. If you need several garment styles or colours, include the breakdown in your enquiry so we can check the print setup and minimums.

Vector AI, EPS or PDF files supplied at print size are preferred. We can also accept high-resolution PNG artwork at a minimum of 300 dpi. Send us what you have and we’ll check it before quoting or production.

We print with plastisol, water-based and discharge inks. We recommend the process based on the garment, artwork, colour and desired hand feel rather than pushing one ink type for every job.

Yes. Options include puff, high-density, foil, metallic, glitter, glow-in-the-dark and simulated-process printing. Not every finish suits every design, so we’ll advise what will reproduce reliably.

Yes. We offer embroidery alongside custom relabelling, printed tags, folding and bagging, allowing garments to arrive retail-ready from one studio.

Live printing and delivery

We bring a professional screen-printing setup and crew to events and brand activations across the UK. The setup can accommodate multiple designs and colours and produce more than 100 prints per hour, depending on the event format.

We are based at Arch 32, Aspin Lane, Manchester M4 4DW. Completed orders can be collected from the studio or delivered; delivery costs are included in the quote.
