Printing Services

We offer a professional, speedy service from start to finish for any size of print project. And yes, we really mean it – there is no minimum order quantity!
The Artwork Approval Process & In-House Print Team

Once you have confirmed & paid for your order (either through your account on the website or via our sales team), a member of the CB Studio Team will email you a PDF proof of your design. The proof will be to scale and will show how the artwork will look on your chosen product. Just bear in mind though, the colours will be for indication only and should not be used for matching purposes. If you want to match to a specific Pantone reference, be sure to let our Studio Team know!

We won’t print your order until we’ve received your approval in writing. So, if you require any amendments, we’ll issue revised proofs until you are completely satisfied. This is also why your quote will give you an estimated lead time, because the actual lead time is based on ‘days from digital proof approval’. You’ll still be required to check and approve proofs for re-orders as well, because we can’t assume anything. As always, if you have any questions or want anything clarifying please ask!
A Highly Flexible Personalised Printing Service

Our lead times normally range from 3 working days to a couple of weeks, depending on the quantity you require, the complexity of your print design and the availability of stock.* No matter the size or type of project, if you’ve got an upcoming event or need a quick turnaround, we’ll always try to meet (and often beat) your deadline. Just let us know the required dates when you make your enquiry and we’ll do our best!

The prices on our website are for plain goods only, but you can quickly and easily request a quote for printing on any of our products. Simply navigate to the product you’re interested in having printed and click the green ‘get a quote’ button. If you’ve already got your artwork ready, you can upload it within the quote request form. You’ll receive complete pricing information and an estimated lead time usually within an hour, but certainly within one full working day.

If you want to speed things along, you can design your own using our product designer, which typically shaves an extra day off the lead time.

Artwork Files We Can Work With

We can easily work with artwork in EPS, AI or PDF formats, and are also able to work with TIFF of JPEG files provided the resolution is at least 300dpi. Other file formats may be usable, so please send through what you have, and we will do our best to work with you. Our CB Studio team can help with most design queries and aim to give you the print you want. Even if you have NO artwork, get in touch, it may be easier than you think!


Our Printing Methods

We use several print methods and will always select the most efficient and appropriate method based on the product and your artwork. If, however you are looking to place a small order now, and a larger order later, please get in touch and we can advise the best way to achieve consistency of print across all your orders.

* Lead times are quoted based on standard product selected from available stock. Orders for custom sized / non-stock items will be subject to longer lead time and minimum order quantity.

The Artwork Approval Process 

 

After placing your order, a member of the CB Studio Team will email you a digital proof of your design on your chosen product. The proof will be to scale and will show how the artwork will look on your chosen product. You can speak with the CB Studio Team about any tweaks or changes you would like to make to the design. Only when you are happy and have approved the proof will your order then progress to the printing stage.

In-House Print Team & Our Printing Methods


We use several print methods and will always select the most efficient and appropriate method based on the product and your artwork. 

We use traditional silk screen printing for orders over 100 units but will from time to time, use this method for smaller runs on certain products or designs. 

We use water-based inks (no that doesn’t mean it will wash off!), All inks for screen printing are prepared in-house by expert colourists, so we are able to match Pantone® references, or to a colour swatch if you have a particular brand colour which does not match a specific Pantone® colour. We recycle inks when creating a new colour to minimise waste and keep the process as efficient as possible.

We have state of the art direct-to-garment digital printers, all using eco-friendly inks and are able to print in full colour. 

For smaller quantity orders we have wax-based heat transfer. The design is applied to the product using a heat press and the wax base of the transfer paper blends into the natural fibres of the product whilst retaining all the tonal detail and vibrancy of the original artwork.

We also have flex and flex print & cut available for printing small quantities. Flex is used for single colours. The design is cut into your selected colour of fine, flexible. The design is then applied by heat press. We have a wide range of colours including metallic effects available. Flex Print & Cut is used where multiple colours are required. The design is first printed onto a white media, and cut to shape as with the Flex process, the design is then applied to the product using a heat press.
