FAQ's
What is the difference between vinyl and sublimation printing?
Vinyl printing involves applying a cut or printed vinyl layer onto the surface of an item using heat and pressure.
- Best for names, simple graphics, bold text
- Works on cotton, polyester, wood, acrylic and more
- Slight texture may be felt on the surface
Sublimation printing is a process where ink is infused directly into the material using heat.
- Best for full-colour photos and detailed designs
- Works best on polyester fabrics or polymer-coated products
- No texture — the design becomes part of the item
Why are some products priced differently?
- Pricing varies depending on:
- Printing method (vinyl vs sublimation)
- Material type (cotton, polyester, acrylic, etc.)
- Design complexity
- Time required for layout and proofing
- Quantity ordered
Products requiring full-colour photo printing, complex layouts, or extended design time will be priced accordingly.
We are a design-led studio — our pricing reflects both materials and creative time.
Why does fully custom design cost more than template-based options?
Template designs are pre-structured layouts that we personalise with your details. This allows for faster turnaround and lower pricing.
Custom designs uploaded to us require additional layout development and proofing.
Bespoke design pricing ensures we can dedicate proper attention to your vision while maintaining quality.
Do you offer design modifications?
Yes, we may be able to make small changes such as colour adjustments, minor element changes or text tweaks. Please reach out to us prior to ordering so we can confirm if your request can be accommodated.
How many revisions are included?
Each order includes one small complimentary revision after your initial proof is sent.
Additional revisions may incur a design fee depending on complexity. We will always confirm any additional costs before proceeding.
What happens if I need multiple changes?
We’re happy to help refine your design. If the requested changes exceed the included design time, additional revision fees will apply.
This ensures fairness across all customers and allows us to keep turnaround times consistent.

Why do colours sometimes look slightly different in person?
Screen displays vary across devices, and colours can appear differently once printed.
We aim to match colours as closely as possible, but minor variations may occur due to:
- Screen brightness
- Material type
- Printing process
What file type should I upload?
For best results, please provide:
- High-resolution PNG, PDF or JPEG files
- 300 DPI where possible
- Original files (not screenshots)
For business branding, vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) are preferred.
