INDUSTRY NEWS www.images-magazine.com 12 images NOVEMBER 2019 This eye-catching design was printed by Barritt Garment Printing in Bournemouth for a local barber called ‘The Brawling Barber’. Shaun Barritt, owner of Barritt Garment Printing, says: “We started off printing just one tracksuit in April 2019, but there have since been repeat orders for more adult and baby tracksuits for staff and friends of the barbers who loved the design and wanted one for themselves.” This design was printed onto a Cross Neck Hoodie (JH021) in jet black from Just Hoods by AWDis. Shaun says: “It was printed using TheMagicTouch 123 Premium Flex in white, which was cut out with a Silhouette Cameo and printed with a Geo Knight DK20S manual swing-away heat press at 160°C for three seconds, to guarantee a high-quality print with no chance of any lifting in the future.” He adds: “We believe this is the most high quality print method as it guarantees great print results and great durability compared to some other T-shirt vinyls and screen printing inks, which can crack and peel over time.” www.barrittprints.business.site Drop us a line at editoral@images-magazine.com if you’d like one of your designs to be featured as our decorated product of the month DECORATED PRODUCT OF THE MONTH Stay in the picture with our Instagram feed and stories: @imagesmaguk The design was printed for a local barber using HTV from TheMagicTouch ETC Supplies introduces new embroidery backings ETC Supplies has launched three new embroidery backings: Easy Perf, Ultra Soft and Stronghold. Jas Purba, managing director of ETC Supplies, said: “No embroidery company should suffer or find it difficult to get excellent results when embroidering garments, as we have a job-specific product for every type of fabric and application.” The Easy Perf embroidery backing range has been developed for the Brother PR or other small embroidery machines. “Often people with small workshops struggle with storing and using the embroidery backing. The Easy Perf rolls are perforated – just like kitchen roll – at the same size as the width, which makes it easy for the user to either hang up the roll or put it on a kitchen roll holder. They can simply tear away the pieces as they require them,” said Jas. The new Ultra Soft Backing is ideal for schoolwear and any other garments that come into direct contact with the skin. Jas said: “The backing even replaces the jobs that users would use Cut Away for.” The new Stronghold backing is lightweight, soft and flat. It has been designed for use on microfibre performance shirts, moisture- wicking materials with excessive stretch in the fabric and other non- iron sportswear, and promises to reduce puckering and holes in these types of fabrics. www.etcsupplies.co.uk The new Stronghold embroidery backing from ETC Supplies Dimensions ranked 34th in the Top 200 Derbyshire Businesses of 2019 Corporatewear provider Dimensions came 34th in a list of the Top 200 Businesses in Derbyshire for 2019, maintaining its position in the rankings for the second year running.
