Inside Apex
Inside Apex · Your Transfer Production Partner
The transfer should never be the thing that holds you back.
Apex produces the press-ready transfers. You press, finish, and fulfill. We’re
built to slot into your shop’s supply chain — making sure the transfer side of
your business is the part you never have to think about.
Two workflows. One clean handoff.
Apex doesn’t run your shop. We run the transfer production that feeds it. Our workflow ends
where yours begins — and our job is to make that handoff invisible to you and to your customers.

The Inside Apex Thesis
Inside Apex isn't about showing you our facility. It's about showing you the systems, people, and process that let Apex become the part of your supply chain you never have to worry about.
Why decorators bring their production to Apex.
The five operational questions decorators ask before outsourcing production — answered
with the specific systems and numbers behind them.
Can your turnaround support my customer deadlines?
Apex supplies transfers to decorators printing 50 orders a month and to decorators printing 50,000+. Transfer capacity is built with intentional headroom so your volume spikes don’t break our system — or yours.
96.8% on-time delivery · last 12 months
Can you handle my growth?
Apex supplies transfers to decorators printing 50 orders a month and to decorators printing 50,000+. Transfer capacity is built with intentional headroom so your volume spikes don’t break our system — or yours.
68% current capacity utilization · room for you
Will my reorders press the same as my first order?
Every order spec is saved to your account — substrate, color profile, sizing, application notes. Reorders are produced from the same documented build, not a fresh interpretation of your artwork. Transfer #50 presses like transfer #1.
5-checkpoint consistency system · built in, not bolted on

You make the product.
We make the transfer.
Where Apex ends. Where your shop begins.
The clean version of the handoff — so there’s no confusion about what’s ours and what’s
yours. We’re explicit about this because most decorators have been burned by suppliers that
didn’t stay in their lane.

- Holding consistency across reorders
- Hitting your cut-off times
- Color accuracy on the printed film
- Adhesion, durability, peel quality

THE HANDOFF
In your lane

- The application — heat, pressure, dwell time
- Final QC of the decorated garment
- Fulfillment to your end customer
- Pricing, invoicing, and the customer relationship
- The brand on the label, the trust with the buyer
The Apex Promise
We won’t compete with you on the parts of the business that are yours. We don’t sell direct to your customers. We don’t take orders for finished garments. We make transfers,
and we make sure the transfer side of your supply chain never becomes a problem you have to solve.
The teams behind your account.
Five teams, each with one responsibility to you — framed by what they do for your business,
not by where they sit on an org chart.
Customer Success
Keeps things moving
Your single point of contact for orders, questions, and account changes. Knows your shop, not just your order number.
Artwork Team
Catches issues early
Reviews every file before production. Flags the issues that would have caused your reprint.
Production Desk
Holds the spec
Runs the transfer floor. Holds your spec across every reorder — same color, same finish, same press behavior.
Quality Control
Last set of eyes
Inspects, stretches, verifies. Maria’s station — the last check before your order leaves Apex.
Fulfillment Hub
Delivers on time
Gets it to your shop on the day you planned for. Tracking sent before you have to ask for it.
Consistency, built into every step.
Quality isn’t a final inspection at Apex. It’s how the transfer production line is built. That’s
why your reorder presses the same as your first order — and your fiftieth.
01
Artwork
Pre-flight check before any production starts
02
Production
In-run monitoring for color, alignment, density
03
Inspection
Visual + stretch test on every batch
04
Verification
Order matched against original spec sheet

Shipment
Final count, packing check, carrier handoff
5 checkpoints.
Every order.
Every time.
Quality isn't inspected at the end. It's built into every step.
