Up to four weeks from artwork approval
Every order runs the same way. You approve everything in writing before we make anything.
The five steps
Artwork and approval
We prepare your artwork, issue visual proofs and confirm your label folds, tag sizes and print placement. Nothing goes into production until you approve it in writing.
Labels into production
Your woven labels and swing tickets go straight into production, so they are ready and waiting rather than holding your order up at the end. They take 7 to 10 working days, which runs alongside everything else.
Garments and decoration
Garments are pulled from stock and decorated. Screen print, DTF and embroidery. Spot colour with a base white included as standard, every job specified and checked to our standard.
Relabelling and finishing
Original neck labels are removed and yours stitched in. Swing tickets attached. Garments finished to retail standard.
Delivered ready to sell
Folded, tagged, bagged and packed, ready to go straight to your customers or your stockists.
The garments themselves, every style code and weight we quote, are on the garments page. What this process is called, and why it is white label rather than private label, is explained in white label vs private label.

How it works questions
- Up to four weeks from artwork approval. Woven labels and swing tickets take 7 to 10 working days from the label maker and run alongside the garments and decoration. Relabelling and finishing follow decoration by about a week. Reorders on approved artwork come back on the same lead time.
- We prepare your artwork, issue visual proofs and confirm your label folds, tag sizes and print placement. Nothing goes into production until you approve it in writing. The turnaround clock starts from that approval.
- No. Labels go into production as soon as artwork is approved, so they are ready rather than holding the order up at the end. Garments are pulled from stock and decorated on their own timeline, then relabelled and finished once both sides meet.
- Not without starting the labels again. Woven labels, swing tickets and print screens all carry your brand name. We hold every order at artwork stage until you confirm you are ready. There is no cost to waiting and a real cost to changing afterwards.
Before your labels are made
Woven labels, swing tickets and print screens all carry your brand name. Once they are made, a change of name means starting again.
We hold every order at artwork stage until you confirm you are ready. There is no cost to waiting and a real cost to changing afterwards.
Before you approve artwork, we recommend you have confirmed your trademark position with an agent or solicitor, your company name at Companies House, your domain, and your social handles.
We supply and decorate garments. We cannot advise on trademark or brand name matters. This is a prompt to check, not guidance on what to check for.
