Printing & Production
-
What printing methods do you use?
- Screen Printing: Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil.
- Pad Printing: Pad printing is a printing process that can transfer a 2-D image onto a 3-D object. This is accomplished using an indirect offset printing process that involves an image being transferred from the cliché via a silicone pad onto a substrate.
- Embroidery: Embroidery is the craft of decorating fabric or other materials using a needle to apply thread or yarn. Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as pearls, beads, quills, and sequins.
- Embossing: Embossing and debossing are the processes of creating either raised or recessed relief images and designs in paper and other materials. An embossed pattern is raised against the background, while a debossed pattern is sunken into the surface of the material.
- Laser Engraving: Laser engraving, which is a subset of laser marking, is the practice of using lasers to engrave an object
- Supa Colour: Supacolour is a revolutionary new way of decorating promotional products and apparel. It creates beautiful vibrant images and is well suited for intricate designs and details.
- Digital Printing: Digital printing refers to methods of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of media. It usually refers to professional printing where small-run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large-format and/or high-volume laser or inkjet printers.
- All artwork needs to be supplied in vector/EPS format. If you don’t have these formats a member of our graphic design team will be able to assist you.

Can I have help with my design?
We have a team of in-house graphic designer who can help you create artwork, re-draw your logo & provide additional graphic design services. Just get in touch with our sales team to discuss.
-
What artwork format do I need? What if I do not have the right kind of file?
Decoration requires vector (.ai, .eps, .psd) art or high-resolution pdfs to make sure your design looks perfect. If you do not have the correct type of file, send us what you have. Our consultants will be happy to advise and assist you on the best decoration methods and how to recreate your artwork! Do you keep my artwork on file?
-
Do you keep my artwork on file?
Yes! We keep all active clients’ art on file so you can easily reuse the same artwork over and over on any product you like.
-
Can I see what my order will look like prior to printing?
Yes, definitely! We will supply you with a digital proof sheet for your approval prior to production.
-
Can you decorate Apparel?
We can decorate your apparel a number of different ways. The most common are screen printing, direct to garment, heat transfer, and embroidery. Your consultant can advise you on the fee structures for each of these decoration methods.
-
Can I choose a PMS color?
Of course. For some products, there may be an additional charge to adjust the ink color to match your pantone exactly. Keep in mind that for some decoration techniques or products PMS matching is not always possible. For any techniques, Betta Concepts will work with our decoration facilities to find the closest available match.
-
Can I print multiple colours?
How many colours you can get printed will vary depending on the product and printing method/finish. Please contact our sales team to discuss.

What are “set up” fees?
Set up fees depend on the decoration technique. Each technique has its own machinery and work processes.

Our consultants will be happy to explain more about the techniques available for your specific product and the costs.
