Technical Discipline & Factory Execution
Screen printing delivers the industry standard for bulk knitwear graphics, brand logos, and large back illustrations. Each colour layer is separated into high-mesh screens and pressed with precision squeegee pressure. Finished prints pass through industrial infrared convection curing chambers at 160°C to ensure polymer cross-linking, elasticity, and wash durability.
