Services
Apparel Decorating
A very large portion of our business is in Apparel decorating. We are proud to supply hundreds of schools, large and small corporations, restaurant chains, sports teams etc. We will work with you to help create the best line of apparel for your needs. And from there we will determine whether your apparel choices should be screenprinted or embroidered or whether they are something better suited for a custom sublimation job or a heat press or direct to garment logo.
Signage & Promotional Products
Over the past few years, we have upped our offerings of promotional products and items to enhance brand visibility. If we don’t offer it, we can probably find someone who does through our years in the industry.
Items such as signage for indoor and outdoor, ie lobby signs, banners, yard signs, golf balls, trade show needs like lanyards, name tags, pens. Embossed and engraved items like mugs, journals, etc.
Screenprinting
Screenprinting is quite an old technique. Simply put it is pushing ink through a stencil on a screen onto fabric. It actually is quite labour intensive with multiple steps. First, a stencil is made with your artwork. The stencil is then placed onto a mesh screen which has been stretched over a frame. There is a separate stencil and separate screen made for each color. (This is why the price varies depending on how many colors are in each logo).
The ink is then pushed through the mesh screen using a squeegee. Some inks can be air dried; however, we usually choose to use inks that must be cured through a conveyor dryer. In our opinion, screenprinting is very durable and versatile and is quite often our “go-to” choice for T-shirts, Hoodies, and many other apparel items. Fact – the mesh is now polyester, but it used to be silk. This is why you can sometimes hear this printing process referred to as “silk screening.”
Art & Design
Have a logo but it’s not vectorized? That’s ok, we offer services to transform your logo into a print-ready format.
Don’t have a logo, but have an idea? We can work with that and help create something that works for your project, while keeping in mind what your final outcome is (ie. logos embroidered onto baseball hats or a logo to be embroidered onto golf shirts). Our artists will keep the decoration process in mind while bringing your ideas to life.
Team & Corporate Webstores:
We create custom online stores with personalized storefronts that reflect your unique branding. We will work with you to supply as many or as few products that you want to offer. We have some stores that remain open and ongoing all year and some that are open only for a short term project, or a club fundraiser or a sports team season. Our mission with these stores is to simplify and enhance the way your tam or school or business manages your apparel and merchants for your staff and customers. For more information regarding setting up a store, please send an email to shawna@geeseapparel.ca

About US
Quickly though, the small side printing couldn’t keep up with the demand and Shawna decided to make the business a full time venture and here we are today. Over the years awesome members have been added to the team, who bring their own unique style and expertise which allows the company to keep growing and evolving. Over the years other services such as embroidery, sublimation, and promotional product printing have been added to the array of services. We continue to grow and develop within the services we provide: always aiming to keep up with latest trends and customer needs that fall into our already vast amount of offerings.
For services that we don’t provide in house, our years of establishing an extensive network of industry professionals allow us the ability to broker and provide seamless service, ensuring our customers vision and product is done with the highest quality and efficiency.
FAQ
Am I required to purchase a minimum?
A – For screenprinting we do have a minimum of 12 pieces per order. If you have an order under 12, we can do it but will charge an “under minimum” fee.
A – For embroidery there is no minimum, however keep in mind that there may be other charges that can make ordering a very small amount cost prohibitive. Charges such as delivery and set up fees (the first time we set up an embroidery file there is a digitizing fee).
