About THINKCustom Apparel

What do we do? Well that’s simple; we make custom printed apparel of all kinds. But like anything worth doing well, it’s not quite as simple as it sounds. The vast range of apparel styles, colors and fabrics available today requires a huge range of printing techniques, machinery and skills to be available in-house for us to bring you choice. We understand that when you're shopping for the perfect garment for your event or club you don't want to have the worry of finding the 'right kind' of print supplier as well. That's why we've spent several years researching and assembling all the printing machinery, techniques and materials we need to offer you custom printing on any garment and for any quantity you wish to order.

How We Do It

Your order is printed right here in Tempe Arizona, in our shop, by us, especially for you, using one of the following printing methods.

Digital Printing

Your order is printed right here in Tempe Arizona, in our shop, by us, especially for you, using one of the following printing methods.For smaller orders or individually customised clothing digital is way to go. Digital printing on textiles requires specialist machinery according to the type of fabric and artwork. There's no magic machine that does it all, which is why our digital department is bursting at the seams. Inside those dust-proof doors you'll find machinery for Direct To Garment printing (commonly known as DTG), full color transfers, cad cut transfers, as well as a huge dye sublimation printer and press.

  • Direct to Garment (DTG). Small quantities, full color artwork, photographic prints or names and numbers on cotton or high cotton percentage blended garments are the sweet spot for our DTG system. A large maximum print area of 450mm x 350mm also allows us to print larger products such as aprons and tea towels with nice big designs. We’ve taken this new technology to the edge by investing in color calibration equipment that means your prints will have awesome color and sharp crisp edges and fine detail.
  •  
  • Digital Full color Transfer. For versatility in digital printing full color transfers can’t be beaten. With no limits on the type of fabric or number of colors, digital transfers offer a solution where DTG falls short. Commonly used for sporting apparel, dance and work wear, digital transfers can also be combined with other techniques to produce products that would otherwise be costly, or impossible. Uniquely this technique can also be used to print fashion accessories such as shoes, caps and bags. Indeed many major lifestyle brands such as NIKE, have shoes and other popular products decorated with the very same digital full color transfer materials and techniques that we use right here.
  •  
  • Cad Cut Transfers. A Cad Cut transfer is a design, name or number 'computer cut' from pre-colored or patterned transfer material – there's no printing at all! Cad cut graphics are perfect for small numbers of garments with block color designs (think players names and numbers) or to bring some bling to your design with specialist effect materials. The range of colors and effects available is staggering; reflective, textured, raised 3D effects, high gloss, matte finish, glitter, metallic gold and silver, fluoro color, velvet feel and flock finish are just some of the effect available. Using our laser print positioning systems, we can even combine Cad Cut transfers with other printing techniques to achieve complex designs limited only by your imagination.
  •  
  • Dye Sublimation. Big shoulder graphics, small chest prints to all-over printed t-shirts is all possible using dye-sub printing. Lots of synthetic fashion garments and many sportswear products are produced using dye-sublimation. It's also an economical way of printing polyester Hi-Vis safety work wear including polos, vests and jumpers. Starting with white fabric, dye sublimation printing produces a vibrant, sharp full color print that is absolutely permanent with zero feel or texture to the print.

Online Design

Every job gets a FREE artwork review. We understand that designing and ordering custom printed clothing on-line can be a bit scary. After all, how are you supposed to know how to get the best from all these printing techniques? We get that and want you to know that we care about your design as much as you do…. we really do. So before we print any job your artwork is scrutinised by our art department, checking for:

  • Alignment: If it’s not quite right, we’ll fix it, and if it’s way off we’ll contact you because it may be you want it like that. Either way you can be confident your art will be placed just as you intended.
  •  
  • Image Size: As well as checking the physical image size is appropriate for your chosen garment, we will check the resolution of photos or images and contact you if we see a problem.
  •  
  • Image Backgrounds: Unwanted background around placed images is a common problem that we lookout for. If your artwork has a logo sitting in a solid white box, we’ll check to make sure that’s what you really want before proceeding.
  •  
  • Layers and text effects: Artwork layers are a powerful tool in modern graphics software, but its easy to get them out of order. If there's an obvious error, like same text behind a graphic, we’ll fix it. Text effects are sometimes difficult to get right. Our experienced art team will check any you have used for obvious issues and contact you if they find something wrong.
