Dye Sublimation
Dye-sublimation is the fine-tuned process of infusing (sublimating) dry ink into fabric under heat and pressure. After the sublimation is completed, fabric is cut and sewn into finished apparel and display products.
We strive for vibrant, lively colours using a process called LATE BINDING.
This process allows us a larger gamut with more control on the outcome of your product. We build our files in RGB colour mode, unifying vector and bitmap elements to give us a larger pool of colour options (also known as gamut). Shrinkage of gamut can occur multiple times in early binding. By delaying conversion from RGB to CMYK at the printer, only a single shrinkage occurs. This gives us more control of the final product’s colour. With this process you can expect louder, more vibrant, and lively colours!
Custom Design
We love a good challenge and welcome the opportunity to work with our clients on “out of the box” creative solutions. From 8-foot pizzas to life-sized animals, we take on projects that others may shy away from. We work with you to create a cohesive design complementing existing branding or to create a whole new look. Our full-service design and art team consists of creative people who specialize in large format display and apparel design.
Art Prints
Visual artists of all kinds choose Premier to reproduce their artwork onto fabric. Whether they need wide format fabric prints, throw pillows, quilting fabrics, 100 foot art installations or apparel, artists value the collaborative way in which we work.
Sewing
Premier uses the Toyota Sewing System (TSS). A team of sewing operators works together in a U-shaped module of stand-up sewing machines One garment or flag passes from person to person until it is finished. This allows Premier to be flexible in scheduling, accommodating rush orders and short turn-around times. TSS also allows a higher level of quality control right from the first piece.
Colour Matching
We know that brands need colour consistency. Premier takes colour matching seriously. We work with our clients to find the closest achievable colour using a Pantone Matching System process.
Brand & Dealer Programs
Premier creates brand equity and dealer programs to ensure easy access to consistent branding. Every program is unique, and may include customized catalogues, order forms and fulfillment strategies to support dealers. Grow brand equity by maintaining a consistent, recognizable brand on backdrops, banners, shirts, flags, and many more, all from one source.

"I was lucky enough to encounter the helpful and supportive Dan Coates whose enthusiasm for my project and its complex colour application matched my own. The professional support and personal attention to product development I received at that time became the foundation of an ongoing working relationship that has evolved through multiple projects. Dan Coates and now Alex Vanderhooft and their dynamic team work consistently to support creatives in a professional and timely manner. I am grateful for their service and support and look forward to continuing our creative collaborations."

"From the beginning Valley Fashions (now Premier) was wonderful to deal with. Alex Vanderhooft, their rep. knows her stuff and was so generous with her time in guiding me to perfecting the files for the best possible print. The largest image I printed was 10' x 20' on PolySilk and even though they request a 150 dpi file, which seemed low to me, the results were very good. I will certainly do business with them again when the need arises!"

"Printing with Valley (now Premier) was great, when I first came in for a project they supplied me with a ton of material options and were very knowledgeable when it came to file handling and setup. I deal with printers all over the world, happy to have such a great go-to option locally."

Alex Vanderhooft was keen to help me achieve my goals and also a pleasure to work with. I hold Valley Apparel + Display (now Premier) in high regard and will be excited to engage them in future projects."
