Our Decoration Services

Hardwearing Embroidery

Our industrial embroidery service is engineered for maximum durability without sacrificing aesthetic detail. We specialize in precision-stitched logos for polos, outerwear, and heavy-duty jackets, utilizing high-tensile, marine-grade threads. These materials are specifically selected for their salt-resistant properties, making them the ideal choice for businesses operating along the Southsea coast where maritime conditions can be harsh. From corporate branding to rugged workwear, our embroidery ensures your identity remains crisp and fray-free, regardless of the elements.

DTF (Direct to Film) Printing

Designed for versatility and extreme durability, our Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is the go-to solution for high-impact promotional gear and sportswear. This process allows us to print vibrant, high-definition graphics onto a specialized film which is then thermally bonded to the fabric. The result is a robust, stretch-resistant finish that won't crack or peel, even on synthetic performance fabrics or heavy-duty workwear. It is the perfect medium for bold, colorful branding that needs to withstand the rigors of an active Portsmouth event schedule or high-intensity team sports.

DTG (Direct to Garment) Printing

For those requiring the highest level of artistic detail, our Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing offers unparalleled photographic clarity. By injecting eco-friendly inks directly into the fibers of the fabric, we achieve a "soft-hand" feel that is virtually weightless to the touch. This method is ideal for complex Portsmouth club crests, intricate illustrations, and small-batch custom apparel where color gradients and fine lines are essential. If your priority is a premium, high-fashion finish on 100% cotton garments, DTG provides the chromatic depth and precision your design demands.

Heat Press & Vinyl Branding

For bold, high-impact customisation and individual personalization, our Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) service is the gold standard. This method is particularly effective for sharp, single-colour designs such as individual names and squad numbers for local Portsmouth sports kits, or high-visibility branding for dockyard and construction workwear. We use premium-grade vinyl that offers superior opacity and a clean, CAD-cut edge that won't peel under pressure. With a range of specialty finishes—including reflective, metallic, and fluorescent—HTV is the most reliable way to ensure your team or workforce stands out with professional-grade clarity.

Sublimation Printing

Experience the pinnacle of breathable, permanent garment decoration with our Dye Sublimation service. Unlike traditional prints that sit on top of the fabric, sublimation uses heat to turn ink into a gas that molecularly bonds with the polyester fibers. This results in a zero-feel, "invisible" print that will never crack, peel, or fade, even after constant exposure to the UV rays and salt air of the Southsea seafront. It is the ultimate choice for high-performance sportswear, such as sailing gear for the Solent or moisture-wicking running shirts, where maximum breathability and vibrant, all-over colour are essential.

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.

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.
