How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form, WhatsApp us on 066 250 2512 or call 016 932 2728. Send the item, size, quantity, deadline and any artwork or photos you have. For DTF, UV DTF and some print jobs you can also try our instant quote calculator.
Do I need my own artwork?
No. Our in-house designers can create or clean up your artwork and will send you a proof to approve before anything is produced.
What's the difference between DTF and UV DTF?
DTF is heat-pressed onto fabric such as T-shirts and workwear. UV DTF is a stick-on transfer for hard surfaces like tumblers, bottles and glass. See DTF printing and UV DTF printing.
DTF Printing
What is DTF printing?
DTF stands for direct-to-film. Your design is printed onto a special film and heat-pressed onto the garment, giving bright full-colour results with fine detail – without the set-up costs of screen printing.
Can I order just one shirt?
Yes. DTF is ideal for once-off and small orders as well as larger runs, so you can print one personalised shirt or a full team order.
Which fabrics can you print on?
DTF works on cotton, poly-cotton and many polyester blends. Send us the garment details and we'll confirm what works best.
Do I need print-ready artwork?
No. Send what you have – a logo, photo or rough idea – and our designers can prepare it for print.
UV DTF Printing
What is the difference between DTF and UV DTF?
DTF is heat-pressed onto fabric such as T-shirts and workwear. UV DTF is a stick-on transfer for smooth hard surfaces like tumblers, bottles, glass and acrylic.
Is UV DTF dishwasher safe?
UV DTF is durable for normal use and hand washing. For items that will be washed often, ask us which option will last longest for your use.
Can you brand items I supply?
Yes – bring or send your items and we'll check that the surface is suitable before printing.
Is there a minimum order?
No strict minimum. UV DTF works well for small batches and larger promotional runs.
Signs & Signboards
How long does a chromadek sign last?
Chromadek is a durable, weather-resistant board commonly used for outdoor signs in South Africa. With good-quality print and laminate, it lasts for years outdoors.
Do you install signs?
Yes. We can install signage at your premises – let us know the location and a photo of the area when you ask for a quote.
Can you design my sign?
Absolutely. Our in-house designers can create the layout from your logo and wording, and send you a proof to approve before production.
Do you do signage outside Vanderbijlpark?
Yes. We regularly help customers in Vereeniging, Sasolburg, Meyerton and the wider Vaal Triangle.
Vehicle Branding
How long does vehicle branding take?
Simple lettering can often be done quickly, while larger wraps need more design and application time. Tell us your deadline and we'll plan around it.
Will vinyl damage my paint?
Quality vehicle vinyl applied to original, well-maintained paint can normally be removed later. Let us know about any resprays or damage beforehand.
Can you brand a whole fleet?
Yes. We brand single vehicles and fleets, keeping designs consistent across different vehicle types.
Do you design the graphics?
Yes – we design the layout around your vehicle and send a proof for approval before printing.
Banners & Large Format
How big can you print?
Our large-format printing handles widths up to 3.2 metres, and bigger banners can be joined or made in panels.
Are your banners suitable for outdoors?
Yes. We use outdoor-grade PVC and mesh for banners exposed to sun and wind, and can add eyelets or pole pockets for mounting.
Do pull-up banners come with a stand?
Yes, pull-up banners are supplied printed and fitted to a stand, ready to set up.
Can you match all my event branding?
Yes – we can produce banners, pull-ups, flags and gazebos from the same artwork so everything looks consistent.
Business Printing
What's the difference between digital and litho printing?
Digital printing is fast and cost-effective for smaller quantities. Litho printing is best for larger runs where you need consistent quality at a lower cost per item.
What is an NFC business card?
An NFC card shares your contact details, website or social links when someone taps it with their phone – no app needed. We also make NFC review cards that open your Google review page.
Can you design my business cards?
Yes. Send your logo and details and we'll design print-ready cards for you to approve.
Do you print stickers in small quantities?
Yes – from small batches of product labels to large sticker runs.
Graphic Design
Can you redesign my existing logo?
Yes. We can refresh an existing logo or redraw it properly so it prints cleanly on signs, clothing and vehicles.
Will I get to approve the design?
Always. We send proofs for your feedback and approval before anything is printed.
Can you design only, without printing?
Yes – we can supply design files for you to use online or elsewhere.
What files will I receive?
You'll receive files suited to how you'll use them, such as high-resolution print files and web-ready images.
Fibre Laser Engraving
What materials can a fibre laser engrave?
Fibre lasers are made for metals such as stainless steel, aluminium, brass and coated metals, as well as some hard plastics. For wood, acrylic and leather we use our CO2 laser.
Is laser engraving permanent?
Yes. The laser marks the surface itself, so engraving doesn't peel, rub off or fade like a print or sticker.
Can I bring my own items?
Yes – bring your item in and we'll confirm it's suitable before engraving.
Can you engrave a single item?
Yes. We engrave once-off personalised items as well as batches for corporate orders.
CO2 Laser Cutting & Engraving
What's the difference between CO2 and fibre laser?
A CO2 laser is used for cutting and engraving non-metals such as wood, MDF, acrylic and leather. A fibre laser is used for permanent marking on metal.
Can you cut custom shapes and lettering?
Yes. We can cut detailed shapes, logos and lettering from your artwork, or design it for you.
Can I order just one piece?
Yes – once-off personalised pieces are welcome, as are batches for events and businesses.
Which materials can you cut?
Common materials include wood, MDF, acrylic and leather. Ask us about other materials and we'll confirm if they're suitable.
