Our US decoration lab is now open

As the leading and most trusted blank apparel brand for partners across Europe since 2012, we now bring our expertise and the unique Deco Lab concept to the US market, raising the standard for quality, sustainability, and decoration performance.

A new space for superior decoration

Here, garments are tested, printed, and refined across DTG, DTF, screen printing, discharge printing, and embroidery. Results are checked for clarity, consistency, and durability, with each technique validated under real production conditions.

Proven under real production conditions

The lab tests and approves every garment against real production requirements: 

  • Ink absorption and surface smoothness 
  • Color vibrancy and accuracy and sharp detail
  • Stretch and wash durability 
  • Reliable performance across all deco techniques 
  • Brighter, softer and smoother prints using less ink, whether plastisol or water base
  • Top quality organic cotton means less fibrillation and no dye migration
  • Fabric engineered for consistency in ink absorption and detail retention.

Every style, from embroidery to DTG, is checked before it reaches the market. For decorators searching for the best t-shirts for printing, this is where results are guaranteed. 

“Besides the relentless testing we do on every new color, fabric and design, both in-house and with partners like ROQ, M&R, Brother, Kornit, the lab is also a place to connect and collaborate with decorators in our mutual pursuit of the perfect print. We want the lab to serve as an open house for printers to share information and support, geek out on technical details, and build on the advancements that our industry is constantly making. And have some fun, too. From printing in my parent’s backyard to running state of the art facilities, I’ve spent over 20 years in screen printing. I speak the language and know how important it is to deliver quality consistently. It’s that perspective I bring to our already incredible deco team.”

Strengthening our US leadership

The decoration lab expands Stanley/Stella’s US presence. Alongside the office, warehouse, and showroom, it brings technical expertise closer to the market.  

This means faster feedback, closer collaboration, and decoration results that set new standards for the US market.
