Sublimation
Dye carried into the fibre rather than laid on top of it, so the print has no hand at all and the colour cannot crack away from the surface. It needs a receptive synthetic base, which sets where it can be used.
Screen Printing
Sublimation Printing.
Dye bonded into the fabric itself. Permanent, all-over photographic colour that keeps the garment's drape.

Each technique below is a separate decision on a tech pack. They are grouped here because they share a process, not because they are interchangeable.

- Continuous photographic tones and edge-to-edge, all-over coverage
- Papers, printing and application in-house, through to packed, retail-ready garments
- UK design team developing up to 200 new designs a month, with a library open to buyers
