Men's Ties UK Quality Guaranteed
The specialist printing process we use to infuse the satin fabric with ink ensures your design is long-lasting without succumbing to fading. We print the necktie all over, so whichever way its styled your design will always be on show. Unique ties are a complementary addition to any men's clothing fashion brand. When we heat press on the tie, the fabric shrinks slightly resulting in a thin white line running along the seam lines at the back and on the edges of the fabric (See photo in gallery). We cannot guarantee 100% accuracy due to the way textile stretches and moves in the printing process though this will not show on the front of the tie and will not alter the overall quality of the product.
Style It With
Everybody loves a snappy suit, but even more so when there's an extra touch of pizzazz. For a casual day at the office, pair your custom ties UK with a shirt and chinos or tuck it behind a waistcoat to introduce more formality. The skinny tie is a trendy style piece, so wear with skinny jeans and a blazer for a modern-day take on the smart/casual dress code.
Care instruction

Great Tie!
I designed the tie especially for a reception at the Victoria and Albert Museum, 3/4/19. It was a 60's event. The tie looked fabulous. Received many compliments on the tie at the event. Tie was printed in 24hrs and I am super pleased with the tie.

Perfect and Very Quick Service
I ordered a beautiful blue tie with an own-designed tiny aeroplane pattern, and it came out great. Great printing quality and precision for the price.
The only thing preventing a continuous flow of orders by my side is the delivery price in Switzerland, even if I have to admit that the speed was astonishing.

Very Happy
I wanted to make a Tie from a photo of my sons graffiti as he was killed a couple of years ago and I will be doing some TV work and wanted something of him with me. The Tie is wonderful and I can not wait to wear it on TV to show off his work. The quality of the material is really good and I am very happy with it.

Great Quality!
Amazing, great quality and fast service!
Our custom ties do not feature a keeper loop, however if you prefer to keep your tie as secure as possible, you can use additional accessories such as a tie clip or a tie pin.
What is the tie made from?
Your tie is made from a luxury satin fabric which gives any style a touch of elegance and panache. Whether you opt for the traditional wide tie, or the more modern skinny tie, this is an amazing accessory for any look.
How do you print my custom ties?
Your design is repeated on both the front and back, where we press and then print onto the flat surface. This means your unique ties are self-tipping, as the inner lining is left white. A fine white line is slightly visible on the reverse.
Ties
Choose from a selection of independently designed ties by our Contrado Creatives artists.
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change colour using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
How will my image scale?
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
What is gsm?
Grams per square meter (gsm) is the unit of measurement used to measure the weight of a paper or fabric. This measurement uses the weight of one square metre (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a fabric. We classify fabrics of 10-100gsm as light (fabrics for summer, fine silk), fabrics of 101-249gsm as medium (most fabrics for clothing) and fabrics of more than 250gsm as thick (upholstery and other specialised fabrics).
What is the bleed area?
When creating your product, it is important to make sure that your image is a little wider than the size needed. In printing, the bleed area allows you to obtain a borderless print. We would advise filling the blead areas, maked with a red checkered area, to ensure you don't end up with white edges. You should make sure that you do not put important details within the bleed area as these will quite likely be lost.
What is crocking and why might it occur?
Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colours are used. It can be minimised by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.
Why do my colours appear lighter on organic fabrics?
Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibres, reducing the colour strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colours we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.
Can you perfectly join two separately printed panels?
We always try to provide the utmost precision in printing and manufacturing. However, due to unavoidable stretching or movement of the fabric at the time of sewing, we can not guarantee a perfect alignment of the pattern on the seams of the garment. Generally we are accurate to 2-3mm, which is sufficient for most reasons but can pose minor problems with patterns or geometric designs.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Is it possible to print your own label?
Most of our clothing is made with a label space. You can print your label and add information about your brand. If you want to sew your own labels, we offer customizable labels of different sizes.
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?
We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.
Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them like you do with the normal fabric labels?
At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
Why are there slight colour differences between my orders?
We work at improving our colour profiles all the time. Though rare it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight colour differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such colour variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric; natural fabrics tend to have more muted colours than their poly alternatives. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.
Why is there a barcode inside my clothing?
Due to our internal processes here at Contrado, there will be a barcode printed on your garment. This is inside the clothing and will not affect your design. It is usually found towards the bottom.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, you may find a slight variance in the sizes.
