Bludog: textile customisation from Coventry for the whole UK

Bludog is a company based in Coventry (UK) dedicated to printing and embroidering custom garments. It operates as an online shop and serves customers nationwide, from individual orders to volumes of over 10,000 units. The company presents itself as a specialist in custom clothing and supplies garments from well-known brands in the textile sector.

Customisation techniques

The company works with several techniques to adapt each project to the type of design and the garment:

• Screen printing, aimed at high-volume production.
• Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing, for detailed full-colour designs.
• Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing.
• Vinyl transfers.
• Embroidery, used on workwear and uniforms.

Bludog states that it selects the most suitable technique for each order and that it combines complex full-colour designs with serial production and quality embroidery.

The online catalogue is organised by category and audience. It includes short and long-sleeve T-shirts, polos, hoodies and sweatshirts, jackets, gilets, trousers, caps, bags and high-visibility garments.
