How Our Workshop Areas Are Organised
Our workshop areas are set up to make it easier to plan your order by location, whether you are in Cape Town or sending work from further afield. Some customers need regular supply for a busy garment print shop, while others need a once-off stretch or a few replacement frames for seasonal work.
If you are comparing areas, think about three things: where your screens will be collected, how quickly you need them back, and whether your order is a single frame or a bulk run. We handle new screen stretching, restretching, mesh removal, frame cleaning, adhesive application and tension checks from our Maitland base, with deliveries arranged for several major centres and selected routes. For urgent work, timing matters and we will confirm what can be done before you send anything in.
- Maitland Workshop for direct workshop support and collections
- Cape Town Supply for local supply and turnaround planning
- Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha deliveries
- Bellville collections for customers closer to the northern suburbs
- Paarl supply route for regular Western Cape orders
Cape Town and Western Cape Collection Options
Customers in Cape Town often choose the workshop because it keeps collection simple and cuts down on waiting for courier handoffs. That helps when you need custom size stretching, inspection of older frames or a quick check on screens that have gone slack after storage. It also suits printers dealing with coastal humidity, where mesh tension and frame condition can shift faster than expected.
We also support Bellville collections and the Paarl supply route for customers who are not based near Maitland. If your shop is in a light industrial area, or you run from home and only send screens out once a week, these options can save time without adding unnecessary trips across the city.
- Maitland Workshop: direct collection and workshop handling
- Bellville Collections: for northern suburbs and nearby industrial sites
- Paarl Supply Route: scheduled support for the Winelands corridor
Deliveries Beyond Cape Town
We send orders to Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha for printers who need a reliable supply line from one workshop. This works well for garment decorators who want matched frames across multiple presses, or for businesses replacing damaged screens in batches. Delivery timing depends on order size, destination and the work required on each frame.
For out of town customers, good packaging and clear job details matter. If you are sending a bulk screen order, include the sizes, mesh preference and any notes about frame condition so we can plan the job properly. We can also advise on whether it is better to restretch existing frames or start with new ones, especially if some of your frames are bent, worn or no longer holding tension.
- Johannesburg Deliveries for high-volume urban print shops
- Durban Deliveries for coastal operations and humid conditions
- Pretoria Deliveries for trade and garment production customers
- Gqeberha Deliveries for Eastern Cape supply requirements
Which Service Fits Your Job
Different jobs need different workshop support. A new frame order is ideal when you need a clean start with standard sizing or a custom size stretch. Restretching is better when the frame is still sound but the mesh is tired or damaged. Mesh removal and frame cleaning are useful before rework, and adhesive application helps when you need the job finished properly for longer use.
If you are unsure what to choose, send the details through our enquiry form and we will help you match the service to the screen condition and the way you print. That saves time and avoids paying for work you do not need.
- New Screen Stretching for fresh screens and repeat production
- Restretch Existing Frames for salvageable aluminium frames
- Frame Inspections and Tension Checks for worn stock
- Urgent Turnarounds and Pickup and Return for tighter schedules
What To Expect From a Workshop Order
Once we have your order details, we confirm the area, the job type and the handover method. Some customers drop off directly in Maitland, while others use a collection point or delivery route. We keep the process practical so you know what is happening with each frame and when it should be ready.
Orders are handled by a team that works across production, stretching, workshop supervision and logistics, so the handover stays organised from start to finish. If you run a print room with changing deadlines, it helps to book ahead, especially around peak garment periods and at times when load-shedding can affect workshop scheduling.
- Check your screen sizes before sending the job
- Note whether the frames need cleaning or mesh removal
- Ask about bulk screen orders if you are standardising stock
- Use the contact form for collections, deliveries and turnaround queries
Why Area Pages Matter For Printers
Each area page gives you the practical detail you need before placing an order. A printer in Bellville has different collection needs from a shop in Durban, and a national customer may want to plan around transport rather than walk in. That is why the workshop areas are listed separately, with the same core service behind them.
Whether you need one stretched screen or a larger batch for a garment run, the aim is to make the route from enquiry to finished frame as clear as possible. If your screens are stored near the coast, used daily, or sitting in a workshop through winter humidity, regular inspection can help you avoid downtime and keep print quality steady.
