The purpose built Head Office was opened on 1st September 1995 and is unique to Scotland. Numerous departments are housed in this building including Administration, Finance, Screen Printing, Engraving, Embroidery, and Graphics.

The Screen Printing Department

It produces a wide range of goods such as t-shirts, bags, umbrellas, and other promotional items with companies’ logos and wordings. Artwork from a customer or the Graphic Design department is produced on to a silk screen stencil, and ink is printed through the stencil to produce the designs. This department utilises the latest technology, allowing 10 colour printing - 960 single colour prints per hour.  Incorporated in this department is a pad printing section where pens and other small items are printed.

Chemical Etching: - This is used to engrave brass and stainless steel to construct internal and external plaques. This process is performed partly by the screen printing department where the detail is printed on to the area using special inks. It is then passed through the etching machine and finally is infilled with ink to give the finished effect.

Embroidery

All kinds of garments can be stitched with a logo or wording in our Embroidery department, like polo shirts & jerseys, or pennants, using sophisticated computerised embroidery machines. Designs for companies’ logos are digitized and turned into an embroidery tape, which can then be output to a wide range of fabrics. This department has the capability to embroider 12 items at the one time in six colours. Other duties include the manufacture of club pennants as well as the embroidery of T-shirts, sweaters, scarves etc.

The Graphics Department

They play an important role in Trophy Centre. If a client wants a logo printed, embroidered, or engraved, it goes here first. Artwork is retouched and prepared for printing at high quality using software such as Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator, or Corel Draw. Pictures and logos are also digitized for engraving using specialized  software for the engraving machines. Designs are made for all kinds of promotional goods such as lighters, t-shirts, pens, mugs, keyrings, baseball caps, and a whole range of other items. Aside from preparing or designing customers’ artwork, the Graphics department is also responsible for designing and maintaining the Trophy centre web site, and for designing our catalogues.
