Professional Branded Workwear & Custom Clothing in Portchester
Portchester bridges the industrial and marine trade corridors between Portsmouth and Fareham. At Print Press, we design robust, chemical-resistant, and weatherproof branded clothing specifically suited to Portchester's diverse trade scene. Whether you operate a busy automotive garage on Castle Trading Estate, a marine repair shop near the shore, or a service business near the historic Portchester Castle, we build uniforms that are "trade-ready."
Coastal and automotive environments place high strain on branding. Salt air can cause standard embroidery threads to deteriorate, and oils/lubricants can degrade cheap print work. To solve this, our Horndean lab uses high-tensile, chemical-resistant polyester threads in our computerised Melco machines, alongside premium DTF transfer technology. This ensures your Portchester business benefits from a long-lasting, heavy-duty finish that maintains its professional look on site, in the garage, or out on the water.

Perfect for trade teams operating near West Street, this technology delivers high-contrast, multi-colour logos that stretch without cracking on heavy canvas or synthetic activewear. It is the ultimate choice for custom workwear that needs to stay bold and fully intact through demanding on-site labour and frequent washing.

It is a highly cost-effective, durable solution that keeps your trade crew visible and compliant on active local sites.
Sublimation Printing
Our technical sublimation printing is the premier choice for custom marine apparel and promotional accessories in Portchester. We fuse specialised inks directly into polyester fibres to create breathable, fade-proof garments. Ideal for local sailing clubs, boatyards, and angling groups near Castle Trading Estate, sublimation ensures your custom teamwear retains vibrant colours and technical cooling properties permanently.
We got recommended to use Print lab from various friends and James didn’t disappoint, he was super helpful from the start. Asked us in for fitting and to show different quality of garments. We chose what we wanted got the logo over to him which he sorted as we didn’t have the correct file and we still had the uniform within 5 days. Fit and quality on point, would highly recommend James from Print lab and we will be using again.
James was very good, such a fast turn around and made a design better than it could have imagined
I ordered some pictures from print lab and was very pleased. Pictures came out amazing. James is a lovely guy and very helpful!
Excellent service from James and the team at Print Lab. Ordered a workwear bundle for our company (polos, sweatshirts, gilets and jackets) with embroidery, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. What stood out was the attention to detail. James proactively flagged that the original royal blue thread might not stand out well on the navy and purple garments, and he sent through test stitch photos with an alternative lighter blue option before going ahead. He also went the extra mile by checking colour adjustments for the print version and converting CMYK values to make sure the proofs were accurate. Communication was prompt and professional throughout, and the final quality of the garments and embroidery is excellent. Great to find a supplier who genuinely cares about getting it right rather than just pushing the order through. Highly recommended — will definitely be back for future orders.
