Thread and Butter Designs

We make you look good.

Thread and Butter Designs is an Australian based embroidery, printing and design studio, specialising in apparel.


EMBROIDERY

We are specialists in embroidery. Barudan embroidery machines are Japanese made, and the best of the best. That is why we have 3 of them, 2x single heads and 1x 4 head.

Embroidery is best for hats, beanies, and thicker materials like Sweaters/Hoods and T-shirts over 200gsm. Once a embroidery set up fee has been paid, it never expires. So you are set up forever with us.

SCREEN PRINTING

Screen Printing is your number 1 way to print (no matter what anyone else tells you). It is long lasting, vibrant, adheres into the garments, and can do finer details. It is also the most labour intensive to set up, hence why almost all printers will have a minimum (ours is 30 per design) and set up fees (ours are $50+gst per colour and position).

VINYL PRINTING

Where we began. For a good year or 2 we only did vinyl printing. It is a super solid way to print when you have a non-detailed art, small quantity and single colour. We like to think we are one of the best at vinyl printing garments. We have over 15 years experience in the art of cutting, weeding and applying.

DIRECT TO FILM PRINTING

A newer-ish technology that has combined screen printing with digital printing, with a bit of heat transfer printing. DTF printing involves transferring a design onto a special film and then transferring it onto the fabric using heat and pressure It is durable and vibrant, and much better option than the old heat transfers. We suggest it for smaller quantities that have many colours, and also when you want to print in obscure places on the garments.

Woven patches

Want to add patches to your hats, then ok let’s do it. Sometimes patches are a better option than embroidery if you want a big fat patch on the front. Whilst minimum of patches is 50, you can use them across hats, beanies and sweaters/hoodies. Or give them to your friends.

APPAREL DESIGN

We can help you by making suggestions on new ways to brand or position your designs, editing current designs to suit apparel, or coming up with some new from scratch.

LOGO DESIGN

If you need to rustle up a logo as you are just starting out, we can help here. Just ask us.

RELABELLING + FINISHING

Relabelling your garments via printing or woven damask labels is a great way to solidify your brand as your brand. We can remove exisiting labels and replace with your own design.

Finish your garments off with compostable poly bags, where we will make you look legit good.
