Solving Problems One Innovation at a Time

We innovate, design, and manufacture time saving add-ons for existing print and application equipment that works easily and seamlessly with print and application equipment. We are constantly finding new ways to help apparel decorators solve bottleneck issues in production. Check out how we innovate for each process below.

We’ve been creating time-saving solutions for screen printers for ages. It’s a passion of ours and we love to see our clients’ businesses grow after implementing some of our solutions into their workflow.

Below are some of our innovative equipment series that you can check out.

Tag Bot™

The TagBot™ allows you to print the main graphic and neck tag at the same time!

This fast and efficient upgrade to your M&R, ROQ, or MHM automatic screen press is a “no brainer.” Cut your print production time in half and increase your output and profit instantly.

Hat Champ® SP Series

The Hat Champ® SP Series is designed to fit most screen printing presses and does not require special screens. The platens are interchangeable – they thumb screw on and off so you can print on all types of caps and visors. The platens come with two removable foam pads, one with a groove for ease of printing on seamed six panel caps. The Hat Champ®’s unique pull and lock system holds secure enough for multi-color printing so no adhesive is required.

Sports Champ® Series

The Sports Champ® Series is ideal for screen printing on mesh shorts, umbrellas, and other odd shaped or multiple layered substrates. Our new replaceable aluminum platen is more durable and reduces flashing time. Its improved latching system is adjustable so you can set the tension low for quick cycle times, or increase the tension for difficult multiple color designs. The Sports Champ® holds securely without adhesives and will fit onto any printing press.

Pocket Champ®

The Pocket Champ® slides onto your platen (platen sold separately) and thumb screw tightens to the board. It has a 4″ x 4″ printing area for screen printing pockets and koozies.

Our Direct to Garment solutions save time and add versatility to your DTG printer. Our products feature our patented TucLoc platen technology and work with most Direct to Garment brands. Learn more below.

Hat Champ® DTG

The Hat Champ® DTG is designed to fit on Direct to Garment printers. The Hat Champ’s unique pull and lock system holds secure and flat for printing. The platens are interchangeable, they thumb screw on and off so you can print on all types of caps and visors. The platens come with two removable foam pads, one with a groove for ease in printing on seamed six panel caps. The Hat Champ® DTG can be mounted on most Direct to Garment Printers.

The 2.5” x 3.75” tag platen sits in front of a 15.75” x 15.75” main platen utilizing our patented TucLoc holding system. Loading speed is optimized with the self-centering neck guide and the rotating tag platen drops out of the way to help keep your tag image crisp and unblemished during unloading.
