Whether you are launching a new independent streetwear brand, outfitting a corporate team, or fulfilling bulk promotional merchandise, the final result is only as good as the blank garment you start with.

At Fire Label, we specialise in supplying premium wholesale blank apparel to businesses across the UK. But we also know that our customers frequently ask: "Do you offer printing and embroidery?"

While our core focus remains on supplying the deepest stock of blank garments—from heavyweight Gildan tees to organic Native Spirit hoodies—we work closely with a network of highly skilled Customisation Partners. These trusted screen printers, embroiderers, and Direct-to-Film (DTF) specialists rely on our catalogue to deliver flawless results for their own clients.

Here is why partnering with the right customisation expert, paired with Fire Label blanks, guarantees a great final product.

The Core Customisation Methods

When working with a customisation partner, selecting the right print or stitching method is vital. Our blanks are engineered to perform across all major decoration techniques:

1. Screen Printing (Best for Bulk & Retail)

Screen printing remains the industry standard for bulk orders. It forces ink through a woven mesh stencil directly onto the fabric, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting colours.

  • Best Paired With: 100% ringspun cotton t-shirts (such as the Fruit of the Loom Value T-shirt or Bella+Canvas Unisex Crew Neck T-shirt).

  • The Fire Label Advantage: Our partners love our cotton blanks because they offer a smooth, tight-knit surface, preventing ink fibrillation and ensuring crisp vector artwork reproduction.

2. Commercial Embroidery (Best for Workwear & Corporate)

Embroidery uses automated, multi-head stitching machines to apply your logo using durable polyester or rayon threads. It provides a premium, dimensional look that withstands heavy washing.

  • Best Paired With: Heavyweight polo shirts, softshell jackets, and caps (such as Result Work-Guard or Just Cool polos).

  • The Fire Label Advantage: We stock garments with high GSM (grams per square metre) weights, which prevents the fabric from puckering or warping under the tension of thousands of stitches.

3. Direct-to-Garment (DTG) & Direct-to-Film (DTF)

DTG operates like a standard inkjet printer but for apparel, while DTF involves printing artwork onto a special film and heat-pressing it onto the garment. Both are perfect for complex, full-colour photographic designs with no minimum order quantities.

  • Best Paired With: Organic cotton hoodies and high-cotton blend sweatshirts (like Just Hoods).

  • The Fire Label Advantage: We supply garments that have been pre-treated or feature a 100% cotton face yarn, providing the perfect canvas for digital inks to bind securely without bleeding.

Why UK Decorators Choose Fire Label as Their Supply Partner

Our customisation partners are some of the most respected print shops in the UK. They choose Fire Label as their wholesale supplier because we offer:

  • Unrivalled Brand Selection: We stock the industry’s top five decoration brands—Gildan, Fruit of the Loom, SOL'S, Just Hoods, and Just Cool amongst others.

  • Tear-Out Labels: Many of our premium brands (like Native Spirit and Gildan) feature tear-out or unbranded size labels. This allows decorators to easily rebrand the garment with a custom neck print for a true retail finish.

  • Live Stock & Fast Despatch: Print shops operate on tight deadlines. Our real-time stock levels and rapid UK delivery ensure our partners can confidently quote lead times to their clients.

  • No Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ): Whether a partner needs a single sample for client approval or 5,000 units for a festival run, we accommodate orders of any size.

If you are a business looking for finished merchandise, the workflow is simple:

  1. Browse the Fire Label Catalogue: Explore our vast range of t-shirts, hoodies, and workwear to find the perfect style, fit, and colour for your project.

  2. Consult Your Decorator: Take the exact product codes (e.g., GD05 for the Gildan Heavy Cotton Tee) to your chosen print or embroidery partner.

  3. They Handle the Rest: Your customisation partner can order the blank stock directly from us at trade prices, apply your artwork, and deliver the finished product straight to your door.
