At PYGear.com, we pride ourselves on offering high quality products in the most sustainable way possible.
PRINT METHOD
Direct-to-garment (DTG)
Our standard process is the Direct to Garment (DTG) method of printing. That means we can create photo-quality prints, the amount of colors used doesn’t affect pricing, and there aren’t any order minimums. We use Kornit printers for all DTG-printed garments. Kornit printers are widely considered the very best in the industry.
All inks used for printing are OEKO-TEX® certified and safe.
Unlike the standard screen printing, DTG printing applies specialized textile inks directly into the fibres of the clothing that is being printed. Because of the digital nature of the printing process it means that our designs don’t need to be limited to a small selection of colours or simple designs. DTG is a full colour printing process which allows for a palette of millions of colours and complex designs.
When properly cared for, DTG printed T-Shirts and Hoodies will remain as soft and bright as when first printed and unlike some other printing methods, our designs won’t crack or peel.
Furthermore, our on-demand printing method is the most environmentally neutral process available in the world.
EMBROIDERY
Embroidery is a technique where your design is embroidered on a product. It’s great for finer details, also logos and texts. We do embroidery on hats, apparel, bags, and home & living items.
We professionally digitize all embroidery graphics by converting your design graphic into a stitch file that the embroidery machine can process. Thus offering the highest quality embroidered apparel that not only looks great but also lasts for a lifetime.
We use two main types of embroidery:
- Flat embroidery—the thread is embroidered flat onto the product
- 3D puff—a foam insert gives the embroidery a raised look
Our embroideries are created using state-of-the-art technology and the finest thread, ensuring that your apparel will look vibrant and sharp wash after wash. The colors will remain vibrant and the stitching will remain tight and intact, no matter how many times you wear and wash the item.
With our high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and attention to detail, you can be sure that you’re getting a product that will last for a very long time and always look great.
3-STEP QUALITY CHECK
There is a 3-step quality check before we ship your order
- Our automated software checks graphics for quality before fulfillment and our AI tool evaluates if the image needs any adjustments before printing
- Fulfillment specialists check quality while orders are being fulfilled
- We run a final quality check after the blank product is customized
SAFELY PACKAGED PRODUCTS
Safely packed = safely delivered
Mailer bags
We use post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic packaging for all apparel orders shipped from our in-house facilities. PCR plastics are made from items people recycle every day, like plastic bags and bottles.
We use polymer mailers for DTG, all-over print, embroidered apparel, and most sublimated products in most of our partner facilities. Poly mailers are lightweight, moisture-resistant mailers made from polyethylene film.
We use compostable eco mailers for all printed apparel orders fulfilled in Australia. The mailers are made from a combination of cornstarch, PLA (vegetable-based plastic material), and PBAT (composting co-polymer). These mailers have the supplier’s name and composting instructions on them.
Polymer bags are see-through bags we use for two or more apparel products. Each item is packaged in its own polymer bag, which are then placed in a polymer mailer.
We are working on reducing the use of plastic in the packaging process to save the environment and avoid overpackaging while shipping items without causing any damages.
Boxes
Hats and large quantity orders come packaged in corrugated cardboard boxes.
Our posters come in triangular cardboard boxes to ensure safe delivery without any creases or damages and avoid the use of plastic caps.
We use an eco-friendly black leatherette-covered box with a magnetic closure and cloth inlay to pack jewelry. When shipped, they’re put in an additional cardboard box.
