Before you call
What we don't print
Most shops bury this. We would rather you knew in thirty seconds than spend a phone call finding out. Here is what we are not, and what we are.
We are not a paper printer
This is the big one, and it is the call we take most often.
We do not print on paper. At all. No business cards, no flyers, no brochures, no letterhead, no postcards, no booklets, no invitations. If it is paper, it is not us.
We are a garment and signage decorator. Different machines, different inks, different trade entirely. We are not Staples, and pretending otherwise would just waste your time and ours.
Need business cards or flyers? You want a commercial paper printer or a print broker. Any of the local print shops that advertise offset or digital paper printing will sort you out, usually cheaper and faster than anyone treating it as a side job.
The full list of what we don't do
- Paper products — business cards, flyers, brochures, letterhead, anything on paper
- Buttons and pins
- Sublimation
- All-over prints — designs that run across the seams to the edge of the garment
- Screen printing on tees, hoodies, polos, long sleeve, crewnecks
- Direct-to-garment for full colour and small runs
- Embroidery on caps, shirts, hoodies, bags and towels
- Banners and signage — vinyl banners, step-and-repeat backdrops
A word on all-over prints
People ask for this after seeing a shirt where the graphic runs right off the edge and over the seams. That is sublimation on a polyester garment, and it is a genuinely different process from anything we run.
If what you actually want is a big print — a large front hit, a full back, something bold — we can absolutely do that with screen printing or DTG. It stops at the seam rather than wrapping around it, and it works on cotton, which most people prefer to wear anyway.
If you specifically need edge-to-edge over the seams, you want a sublimation shop, and we will tell you that rather than talk you into something else.
Why we put this in writing
Ninety-eight reviews say the same thing about this shop in different words: we do what we say we will. That is easier to keep true if we are straight up front about where our work stops.
If you are holding a job we cannot do, you have lost thirty seconds reading this instead of a day waiting on a quote that was never coming. And if you are holding a job we can do, you now know it is squarely in our lane.
So what can we do for you?
- T-shirts, long sleeve, polos
- Hoodies, zip hoodies, crewnecks
- Caps and beanies
- Bags, towels, aprons
- Teams and leagues
- Churches and community groups
- Schools and PTAs
- Businesses, uniforms and work shirts
- Family reunions and events

Common questions
Do you print business cards?
No. We do not print on paper at all. You want a commercial paper printer for those.
Do you print flyers?
No — same answer. No flyers, brochures, letterhead or any paper product.
Do you make buttons or pins?
No. A promotional products supplier will normally handle those.
Do you do all-over prints?
No, and no sublimation. If you want a large print we will do it with screen printing or DTG — it just stops at the seam rather than wrapping around it.
Do you do banners and signs?
Yes. Vinyl banners, step-and-repeat backdrops and signage are all in-house.
