Welcome To Our Blog

We are thrilled to launch our brand new blog! We wanted a dedicated space to share exactly what goes into keeping you safe and compliant on site. Whether you are a long time customer or just discovering us, we are incredibly excited to have you here.

This space is going to be packed with straight talking and useful advice. We will be sharing essential guides on the workwear we sell, helping you get the absolute best results from your custom printing and embroidery, and making sure you know exactly when it is time to upgrade your hi vis gear.

But we also want to give you a proper look behind the scenes at what our team gets up to. We will be sharing all the latest updates from the crew, from celebrating massive milestones like our recent 25th anniversary to seeing what Katie and Lauren are working on in the office or checking in with Meg on the print floor. It is a great way to see the real people who are packing your orders and printing your workwear every single day.

Grab a brew, have a read, and let us know what you think!

What To Expect

Stay tuned for weekly updates featuring deep dives into fabric technology, care guides for your garments, and all the latest news straight from the warehouse floor.

Phew! If you have been following the news, you know the UK is currently melting. We have just seen the hottest May days on record, with temperatures soaring past 34 degrees in some places and giving us actual tropical nights. Even up here in St Helens, the sun is absolutely blazing. When the weather gets this extreme, sticking to your usual workwear simply does not cut it anymore.
For years, from when we first started our custom clothing business in 2001, screen printing was the go-to choice for custom printed workwear and promotional clothing. Then vinyl cutting THEN..recently along came DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing, and suddenly there were claims that screen printing was dead, but DTF was heavy, or that large logos would feel uncomfortable by using DTF printed clothing instead of screen.
We have had a bit of time to let the dust settle after our massive twenty fifth anniversary celebrations in April, and honestly, we are still absolutely pinching ourselves!   
If you work out on the railways, you already know the golden rule: RIS-3279-TOM compliance is absolutely non-negotiable. But have you ever stopped to wonder why you can't just throw on a standard yellow vest like folks on a regular construction site?
When was the last time you replaced your Hi Vis?⚠️ It might sound like a sales pitch, but dirty or faded hi vis can actually be illegal!
