Printed Media, Swing Tags and Packaging
Beyond apparel, we print the material that surrounds it. Swing tags, stickers, labels, packaging, posters, flyers and stationery all come out of the same Leicester site as the garments, which is the reason to have them done here rather than anywhere else.
Branding drifts when it is split across suppliers. The colour on the swing tag is not quite the colour on the tee, the poster in the window is a shade off the packaging, and nobody notices until the products are photographed together. Producing both in one place removes that problem at source, and it means the tags are ready when the garments are.
Printed Media That Finishes the Product
Swing tags, labels and stickers are not accessories to a garment. They are part of whether it reads as a real brand on a rail. A well made tag on a well made tee is a product; the same tee with a generic tag is a blank with a print on it.
Because our garment finishing line applies tags and labels on the same site, tags can be designed, printed and attached in one place rather than sourced from a third supplier and shipped in to be applied. That removes a handover, a lead time and the risk of the tags arriving after the garments are ready to ship.
Design and Print Together
Our apparel graphic design studio works on the same site, so printed media can be designed alongside the garment graphics as one set of work. If you already have brand guidelines and artwork, send them and we will work to them. If you have a logo and an idea, we can develop the rest.
Minimums and Turnaround
Minimums depend on the item and the volume and are confirmed when we quote. Standard production turnaround is 5 to 10 working days from approval of artwork and payment. If printed media is running alongside a garment order, tell us at the start so both land together rather than one waiting on the other.
Who Uses Our Printed Media
Clothing brands who need tags, labels and packaging to match their garments. Retailers and own-label ranges supplying accounts that expect retail-ready presentation, through our retail supply and own-brand production service. Businesses running promotional campaigns and needing posters, flyers and stationery to one standard. Bands and promoters producing merch packaging alongside tour merch. And brands shipping direct to customers who want the parcel to look like theirs, through dropshipping and fulfilment.
What We Print
Custom tags and stickers that finish a garment off and make it read as a product rather than a blank. Designed, printed and, because our finishing line is on the same site, applied to the garments as part of the same job. That removes a supplier, a shipping leg and the risk of tags turning up after the stock is ready.
Labels crafted to reflect your brand identity, printed to your specification. Labelling is usually the detail that decides whether a garment can go into a retail environment at all, and it is applied alongside tagging on our garment finishing line.
Packaging that carries your brand rather than a courier bag with a sticker on it. Particularly worth doing if you sell direct, because the parcel is the only physical thing most online customers experience before the product itself.
Eye-catching posters for campaigns, and vibrant retail sale posters for promotions and window work. Printed to the same colour standard as the products they are advertising, which is the point of doing both here.
Marketing print produced to a professional standard, for campaigns, events, trade shows and in-store activity.
Corporate stationery that keeps your brand consistent across every touchpoint, rather than drifting a shade further from your guidelines with each reorder.
Designs reproduced with clarity, sharp detail and accurate colour. Useful when existing artwork has to be brought back to a printable standard, which our apparel graphic design team handles on the same site.
Printed Media FAQs
Swing tags, stickers, labels, custom packaging, promotional and retail sale posters, flyers and promotional materials, office stationery and artwork reproduction. All from the same Leicester site as the garments.
Yes. Our garment finishing line applies tagging and labelling on the same site, so tags can be designed, printed and attached in one place instead of being shipped in from a third supplier to be applied.
Colour consistency, mainly. Branding drifts when it is split across suppliers, and the drift only becomes obvious when the products are photographed together. Producing both in one place also means the tags are ready when the garments are.

Minimums depend on the item and the volume and are confirmed when we quote. Tell us what you need and roughly how many and we will come back with options.
Standard production turnaround is 5 to 10 working days from approval of artwork and payment. If printed media is running alongside a garment order, say so at the start so both land together.
Yes, and it is worth doing if you sell direct. The parcel is the only physical thing an online customer experiences before the product. Packaging produced here can be used on orders going out through our dropshipping and fulfilment service.
