Zowosi specializes in garment decoration using modern printing technologies. Our facility in London handles orders from single items to bulk production runs of 5,000+ pieces. We work with cotton, polyester, blends, and technical fabrics.
Our equipment includes direct-to-garment printers capable of full-color photographic reproduction, screen printing stations for large volume orders, and heat press machines for vinyl transfers. Each method suits different fabric types and order quantities. DTG works well for detailed designs on light and dark cotton. Screen printing remains cost-effective for orders exceeding 50 identical pieces. Heat transfer vinyl provides durability for sportswear and workwear.
We process orders for businesses across retail, hospitality, sports clubs, and corporate sectors. Typical projects include staff uniforms with company logos, promotional merchandise for events, team jerseys with names and numbers, and limited edition fashion collections. Our production schedule accommodates rush orders with 24-48 hour turnaround and standard orders completed within 5-7 working days.
The printing process starts with artwork preparation. Our team converts your designs into print-ready files, adjusting colors for fabric compatibility and checking resolution requirements. We provide digital proofs before production begins. Sample printing is available for orders over 100 units. Quality control includes color matching against Pantone references and wash testing to verify ink adhesion.
Our location at 34 Amwell Street in Clerkenwell provides easy access from central London. The facility operates Monday through Friday with Saturday morning availability. We offer consultation appointments to discuss fabric options, printing methods, and pricing structures. Clients can bring garments for printing or select from our supplier catalog featuring brands like Gildan, Fruit of the Loom, and B&C Collection.

Real feedback from businesses and individuals who trusted us with their custom apparel projects
We ordered 200 polo shirts for our sales team. The embroidery quality exceeded expectations - logos are sharp, threads haven't loosened after multiple washes. Delivery was on schedule, which was crucial for our product launch. The team helped us choose the right fabric weight for year-round wear. Price per unit was competitive, especially considering the durability.
Brilliant service! Ordered custom hoodies for our charity run. The print quality is excellent - colours are vibrant and haven't faded. Everyone loved them.
Good quality t-shirts for our restaurant staff. The screen printing held up well through commercial laundering. Delivery took a bit longer than initially quoted - about 3 extra days - but the final result was worth the wait. Would order again, just plan ahead for timing.
We run a small gym and needed branded workout gear. The moisture-wicking fabric they recommended works perfectly - prints stay intact even with daily use and frequent washing. Customer service answered all our questions promptly. The mock-up approval process was straightforward. Our members keep asking where we got them made.
Decent service overall. The caps we ordered came out well, though the colour was slightly different from the sample - not drastically, but noticeable. Communication could be better; had to follow up twice for updates. That said, the price was fair and the embroidery quality is solid. Would consider using them again for less colour-critical projects.
Perfect for our corporate event! 150 t-shirts delivered exactly when promised. The print resolution is impressive - even small text in our logo is readable.
As a small business owner, I needed affordable but professional-looking staff uniforms. They walked me through fabric options and printing methods. We went with embroidered polo shirts - they look far more expensive than they were. The ROI has been excellent; customers comment on how professional our team looks. Already planning a second order for our new hires.
Solid work on our promotional t-shirts. The print quality is good and has survived multiple washes without cracking. Only minor issue was that one size ran slightly smaller than standard, but they sorted it out with a partial reorder at no extra cost. Appreciated the customer service response. Would be nice to have more eco-friendly fabric options in future.
We've been ordering from them for three years now. Consistency is what keeps us coming back - every batch matches the previous one in quality and colour accuracy. They keep our artwork on file, making reorders simple. Turnaround time is reliable, usually 10-12 working days. Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. Their bulk discount structure makes sense for our quarterly orders of 300+ units.
Needed rush order for a last-minute event. They delivered 80 t-shirts in 5 days without compromising quality. Lifesavers!
The hoodies we ordered are comfortable and the print looks professional. However, the initial quote didn't include VAT which caught us off guard when invoicing. Also, the online design tool could be more intuitive - we ended up emailing our artwork instead. Product quality itself is good, met our expectations. Just be clear about all costs upfront and confirm artwork details carefully.
We run a craft brewery and wanted unique staff shirts that reflected our brand. They helped us translate our quirky logo into embroidery without losing detail. The cotton-poly blend they suggested is perfect for our environment - breathable but durable. Staff actually want to wear them outside work, which says something. The setup fee was reasonable and waived on our second order.
Good service, met expectations. The aprons for our café staff are holding up well after six months of daily use. Print quality is fine, though one or two have shown slight fading. For the price point, we're satisfied. Delivery was on time.
Ordered personalised workwear for our construction crew. The hi-vis vests with company branding are exactly what we needed. Reflective strips meet safety standards, and the prints are clearly visible. They guided us through compliance requirements we hadn't considered. Bulk pricing made it affordable to kit out our entire team of 45. Reordering is straightforward when new staff join.

Proper file preparation ensures your designs transfer accurately onto fabric. Vector formats like AI or EPS work best for logos and text, maintaining sharpness at any size. Raster images need 300 DPI resolution at actual print dimensions. Colour mode matters too: use CMYK for realistic previews, though we convert to Pantone or RGB depending on the printing method. This guide covers technical specifications that prevent common issues.

Find answers to common questions about our garment printing services
We provide several printing techniques to suit different fabric types and design requirements. Screen printing works well for bulk orders with simple designs, offering durability and vibrant colours on cotton and cotton blends. Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing handles complex, multi-colour designs with photographic detail, ideal for smaller quantities.
Heat transfer vinyl is perfect for names, numbers, and bold graphics on sportswear. Sublimation printing creates permanent, full-colour designs on polyester fabrics. Each method has specific applications: screen printing requires minimum quantities of 25 pieces, while DTG accepts single-item orders. We'll recommend the most suitable technique based on your fabric choice, design complexity, and order volume.
Standard production time is 5-7 working days after artwork approval. This includes printing, quality checks, and packaging. Orders under 50 items typically complete within 5 days, while larger quantities may require the full 7 days.
Express service is available for urgent orders, reducing turnaround to 2-3 working days with a 30% surcharge. Delivery within London takes 1-2 days via courier, while UK-wide shipping adds 2-3 days. We send digital proofs within 24 hours of receiving your design files. Once you approve the proof, production begins immediately. Complex designs requiring colour matching or special preparations may add 1-2 days to the timeline.
Vector files produce the best results: AI, EPS, PDF, and SVG formats at any size without quality loss. For raster images, we accept PNG, JPEG, and TIFF files with minimum resolution of 300 DPI at the intended print size. A design measuring 30cm wide should be at least 3500 pixels wide.
Avoid low-resolution images from websites or social media, as these appear pixelated when printed. If you only have a low-quality file, our design team can recreate it as a vector for £25-50 depending on complexity. We also accept hand-drawn sketches or photographs of existing designs, which we'll convert to print-ready files. All text should be converted to outlines or curves, and colours specified in Pantone or CMYK values for accurate reproduction.
Yes, we accept customer-supplied garments with certain conditions. Items must be new, unwashed, and free from creases or packaging marks. We require 10% extra pieces beyond your order quantity to account for potential printing errors or fabric defects. All garments should arrive clean and ready for printing.
Our printing service charge applies regardless of garment source: £4.50 per item for single-colour prints, £6.50 for multi-colour designs. We cannot guarantee results on unknown fabric blends or pre-treated materials. Synthetic fabrics require specific inks, so inform us of fabric composition in advance. We inspect all supplied items before printing and will notify you of any unsuitable pieces. Damaged or soiled garments will be returned unprinted.
Proper care extends print life significantly. Turn garments inside out before washing to protect the printed surface. Use cold or warm water (maximum 30°C) with mild detergent, avoiding bleach or harsh chemicals. Machine wash on gentle cycle or hand wash for best results.
Air drying is preferable, but if using a tumble dryer, select low heat. Never iron directly on printed areas; place a cloth between the iron and print, using low to medium heat. Avoid dry cleaning unless specifically stated as safe for your print type. Screen-printed items withstand 50+ washes when cared for properly. DTG prints maintain quality for 30-40 washes. Heat transfer designs last 25-30 washes with correct care. Store printed clothing in cool, dry places away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Minimum quantities vary by printing method. DTG printing accepts orders from 1 piece upward, making it suitable for personal projects or testing designs. Screen printing requires minimum 25 pieces per design and colour combination due to setup costs involved in creating screens.
Heat transfer vinyl has no minimum, accepting single items. Embroidery services start at 10 pieces. Larger orders receive volume discounts: 50-99 pieces get 10% off, 100-249 pieces receive 15% discount, and 250+ pieces qualify for 20% reduction. Mixed sizes within the same design count toward quantity discounts. For corporate orders exceeding 500 pieces, we offer custom pricing. Sample pieces are available before committing to large orders, charged at single-item rates.
Our in-house design team creates custom artwork from your ideas. Basic design services include text layout, font selection, and simple graphics for £35. This covers straightforward logos or text-based designs with up to two revision rounds.
Complex designs with illustrations, multiple elements, or detailed graphics start at £75, including three revision rounds. We provide initial concepts within 2-3 working days. Rush design service delivers concepts in 24 hours for an additional £25. Bring reference images, colour preferences, and any existing branding materials to your consultation. We'll discuss your vision and create mockups showing how the design appears on actual garments. All design files become your property after final payment, supplied in multiple formats for future use.
We guarantee satisfaction with our printing quality. If prints have defects due to our error (misprints, incorrect colours, or poor adhesion), we'll reprint the affected items at no charge. Report issues within 7 days of delivery with photographs showing the problem.
Our quality control checks every item before dispatch, but occasionally issues arise. We don't reprint items if the problem stems from approved artwork errors, incorrect information you provided, or damage from improper care after delivery. Colour variations between screen displays and printed results are normal; we provide physical colour samples upon request before production. For large orders, we recommend ordering a sample first. Minor variations in print placement (within 2cm) are standard in garment printing. Refunds are available if we cannot resolve quality issues to your satisfaction within 14 days.

34 Amwell Street
London, EC1R 1UN
Real numbers from our work in the UK garment printing industry. These figures represent actual projects, clients, and results we've achieved since establishing our operations.
We specialise in custom garment decoration, bringing your designs to life with precision and care. Since our establishment, we've been serving businesses and individuals across London with reliable textile printing solutions.
Zowosi began operations in 2015 when a group of textile industry specialists identified a gap in the London market for accessible, dependable garment decoration services. Starting from a modest workshop in Clerkenwell, we focused on understanding client requirements and delivering consistent results.
What started as a small operation with two printing machines has grown into a facility equipped with multiple printing technologies. We've expanded our capabilities to include screen printing, direct-to-garment digital printing, and heat transfer applications. This growth came from listening to customer needs and investing in equipment that allows us to handle diverse projects.
Today, we operate from our location on Amwell Street, serving over 300 regular clients ranging from independent designers to established retail brands. Our team consists of 12 trained technicians who handle everything from artwork preparation to final quality checks.
We aim to provide straightforward garment decoration services that meet deadlines and specifications. Our focus is on maintaining consistent output quality while keeping pricing transparent and communication clear throughout each project.
We're working to become the go-to textile printing partner for London-based businesses by continuing to invest in modern equipment, training our staff in new techniques, and maintaining the service standards that our current clients rely on.
We track our on-time delivery rate, which currently stands at 96%. When we commit to a deadline, we structure our production schedule to meet it.
Our quotes break down costs clearly. We explain what each printing method involves, its limitations, and expected durability so you can make informed decisions.
Every order goes through a three-stage inspection process: pre-production artwork check, mid-production sample review, and final batch inspection before dispatch.
You'll have direct contact with a project coordinator who handles your orders. They're available during business hours to answer questions and provide updates.
Over eight years, we've processed approximately 45,000 orders. This volume has taught us how to handle various fabric types, from standard cotton to technical sportswear materials. We've learned which inks work best for different applications and how to troubleshoot common printing challenges.
Our equipment includes four automatic screen printing presses, three DTG printers, and heat press stations. We maintain backup machines to prevent delays if equipment needs servicing. Our facility can handle orders from 10 pieces to 5,000 units, with typical turnaround times of 5-7 working days for standard orders.
We work with established suppliers for blank garments and use water-based and plastisol inks that meet UK safety standards. For clients requiring specific certifications, we can provide documentation for Oeko-Tex certified materials and eco-friendly ink options.
We combine technical expertise with attention to detail to deliver garment printing that meets your expectations
We work with screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG), heat transfer, and embroidery. Each technique is selected based on fabric type, design complexity, and order volume. Our equipment includes Kornit Avalanche HD6 for DTG and Brother PR1050X for embroidery, allowing us to handle orders from 10 to 5000 pieces with consistent results.
Standard orders are completed in 5 working days. Express service is available for urgent requests, reducing turnaround to 3 days. We maintain this schedule by organizing production in batches and keeping commonly used blank garments in stock. Orders placed before 2 PM on weekdays enter production the same day.
Our team reviews artwork for print compatibility at no extra charge. We check resolution (minimum 300 DPI), color profiles, and file formats. If adjustments are needed, we provide specific recommendations or make minor corrections. For customers without ready designs, we offer paid design services starting from £25, with revisions included.
Each item passes through three inspection points: pre-printing check for fabric defects, post-printing examination for color accuracy and alignment, and final packaging inspection. We use Pantone color matching for brand consistency and test wash durability on sample pieces. Items not meeting standards are reprinted without additional cost to you.
Minimum order is 10 pieces for screen printing and 1 piece for DTG printing. We accommodate both small batches for events and large corporate orders. Volume pricing applies to orders over 100 units, with discounts increasing at 250, 500, and 1000+ pieces. Mixed sizes and colors are accepted within the same design without extra charges.
