Oven Gloves & Insulated Kitchen Textiles
Currently our double oven gloves, single oven mitts, gauntlets and pot holders are British Standard compliant and already manufactured to the highest specifications, allowing you to be entirely confident in the product.
On the 1st March 2019 we will be changing all our labelling to encompass the new CE regulations which bring oven gloves under the umbrella of Personal Protective Equipment. To read more about this important change in legislation and how it may affect you, plus be able to download our Declarations of Conformity, follow this link to our Downloads page.
Our other insulated kitchen textile products include generously sized tea cosies, Aga covers and fabric table mats. All of which can be printed with different images on both sides (except for Aga covers which are made as standard with a black cotton drill reverse although other options are available).
As well as offering a wide range of fabrics, we have many different coloured bindings and hanging loops to compliment your designs. We can also add individual touches such as sewing your own labels onto the outside of the products in a variety of positions.
Plus there are lots of packaging options such as wraps, trays and swing tickets to choose from to further enhance and promote your brand.

Types of Printing On Offer
We offer various types of printing including all-over, edge-to-edge screen print in up to 10 spot colours, full colour process (in which we are acknowledged, prize-winning industry leaders), combined full colour process and spot colour, plus a wide range of metallic options including glitters.
We are unusual in that we also offer a discharge print option on to dyed fabrics. This uses a specialist water-based ink where the colour of the fabric is bleached out and replaced by the colour of the ink. The print feels very smooth (there is no plastic or raised feel) and the print durability is excellent. Plus we use opaque inks which are good for certain types of image where discharge is not suitable.
Follow the link to our blog to read about how we solely use water-based inks and to see how eco-friendly and sustainable they are.
In addition we have a full digital printing service; this is great for designs with more than 10 spot colours and for small full colour runs or short runs in general. All-over, edge-to-edge printing is available for all our digital textile products too.

Fabrics
All our quality apron fabrics are carefully sourced, woven and finished (mainly in Turkey) to our own specifications. This enables us to have complete control over the quality, colour-yield and provenance of the fabrics we offer. Here are descriptions and images of our range of fabrics suitable for our UK-made aprons.
8oz Bleached Cotton Drill
(220gsm/sq mtr approx) – A bleached non-optic very pale cream finish designed to co-ordinate with our Premium tea towel cotton. This weight of fabric is the most popular choice for aprons, offering both durability and value for money.
8oz Unbleached Cotton Drill
(220gsm/sq mtr approx) – An unbleached, natural oat-meal finish with flecks of cotton seed designed to co-ordinate with our unbleached tea towel cotton. Again this is the most popular choice for customers seeking a natural, quality fabric at a good price.
8oz Organic Unbleached Cotton Drill
(220gsm/sq mtr approx) – An organic unbleached, natural oat-meal finish with flecks of cotton seed designed to co-ordinate with our organic unbleached tea towel cotton. For customers wanting to go down the green route this is the fabric for you. It also has a lovely soft feel.
8oz Black Cotton Drill
(220gsm/sq mtr approx) – A reactive, vat-dyed fabric suitable for discharge, opaque, metallic printing and embroidery. The discharge print option uses a specialist water-based ink where the colour of the fabric is bleached out and replaced by the colour of the ink. The print feels very smooth, there is no plastic or raised feel as with other inks plus print durability is excellent. Opaque inks are useful for certain types of image where discharge is not suitable plus we offer a wide range of different metallics including glitters if you are after a bit of bling on your design.

Different styles of oven gloves, mitts, pot holders, cosies and mats:-
We are very happy to adapt the shapes but please be aware; with the oven gloves, mitts and pot holders, every time the shape is amended, the product has to be put through British Standard testing again. This testing is something we are happy to arrange and can quote for providing this service or we can put you in touch with the companies we use, who provide testing.

Bespoke Packaging Options
Bulk Packed – many customers go for bulk packing with oven gloves, mitts, tea cosies and pot holders, choosing to hang them up by their hanging loops in the shop. A swing ticket makes a nice addition if displaying in this way.
Individually Bagged – if you need to keep your stock protected when on display we offer individual bagging in clear polypropylene bags. We also have the option of plastic hanger bags for oven gloves, tea cosies and mitts.
To further enhance presentation and promote your brand we can add the following packaging – all printed digitally in-house – at very competitive prices:-
Insert
Printed one side as standard (although double sided are also available) on 160gsm heavy-weight paper these are suitable for adding into individually poly bagged products
Swing Tickets
Printed either single or double sided on 280gsm shiny or matt card these are ideal for attaching where the items are out on display without any other form of packaging.
Swing Tickets
Not only can we print your swing tickets but we can also attach them with all sorts of interesting things. A nylon loop or kimble is the usual option but we can also use ribbons plus strings such as jute and sisal for something different.
Jute or Sisal String Plus Optional Plastic Hanger
An unusual and attractive option which can also include a clear plastic hanger if required. A swing ticket is also nice with this option.
Trays
Again these are printed on a heavy-weight 200gsm paper and are suitable for individually bagged oven gloves and mitts (plain or hanger bags). The hanger bags are shown here.
Wraps
Printed on a heavy-weight 200gsm paper with which we wrap oven gloves and pot holders. They can then be supplied bulk packed or can also be individually poly-bagged.
Barcodes
More and more retailers are calling for stock to be barcoded. We have the facilities to create any type of barcode and can either print them on to the swing tickets, inserts etc or we can print them on to peel-able self-adhesive labels
We are also happy to use packaging supplied by the customer.
