Printed Aprons
Whether you are into cooking or just into having stylish kitchen textiles on display in your kitchen, you’ll love our quality printed aprons and so will your customers.
We have a wide choice of fabrics for apron printing including coloured 8oz cotton drills and heavy-weight 280gsm panamas.
We can print all-over, edge-to-edge on all our styles of aprons plus add different sized and shaped, printed or plain pockets, in a variety of positions.
We also have a wide range of coloured ties and can produce printed aprons with either fixed neck loops or adjustable neck ties featuring gold coloured brass or silver coloured nickel D rings.
Our side ties are generously long at one metre each but again we can make the ties what-ever length you prefer.
In addition we have lots of great packaging ideas which increases the perceived sale value of your printed aprons and makes them a lovely gift.

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 this 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.

Bespoke Sewing Options
One of the strengths of Countryside Art is we have a very large, well-equipped sewing unit so we can offer all types of bespoke add-ons in the manufacturing of your aprons plus make specially sized aprons and pockets. These options are as follows:-
Different Thread Colours
With hundreds of thread colours in stock we can match to any print.
Wash Labels
We can use our standard wash labels or we can include your own labels.
Customer’s Own Logo Label
We can sew your provided logo labels into reverse seams or on to the front of aprons. Popular choices include in the top or side reverse seams or anywhere on the front of the aprons in a position of your choice. Contact us for details on how the labels need to be supplied with regards to our sewing requirements.
Different Coloured Ties
We stock a wide range of coloured polyester ties (see the colour chart below) plus heavy-weight cotton ties in white, unbleached and black finishes.
We can also source other colours so if the shade you want is not here please ask and we will see if we can obtain it for you.
Colour options for apron ties
For polyester ties we have the following colours as well as black and a soft white. We also have unbleached natural cotton ties plus heavy-weight cotton ties in bright white, black and unbleached natural finishes.
For larger orders we can also source a wider range of coloured ties. So if the colour you want is not here and you are ordering 500 or more aprons please let us know and we can advise what other colours are available.
Please note these colours below are guides only and may not be accurate. We are always happy to send out swatches of the ties so you can see the actual colours so please ask.

For more information please get in touch via our Contact Page
Bespoke Packaging Options
Bulk Packed – most customers opting for bulk packing hang the aprons up on display with the neck loops. A swing ticket can make a nice addition with bulk packing.
Individually Bagged – if you need to keep your stock protected when on display we offer individual bagging in clear polypropylene bags. We can either bag the aprons in a plain bag or we offer a plastic hanger bag, in which case we card inside the apron to keep it neat and stop it sliding down within the bag.
To further enhance presentation and promote your brand we can add the following packaging – all printed digitally in-house at very competitive prices.
We are also happy to use packaging supplied by the customer.
For more information please get in touch via our contact page.
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 aprons. The bag shown here is a plastic hanger bag.
Swing Tickets
Printed either single or double sided on 280gsm shiny or matt card. These are ideal for attaching where the aprons are out on display without any other form of packaging. Not only can we print your swing tickets but we can also attach them with all sorts of interesting things. A nylon loop is the usual option but we can also use ribbons plus strings such as jute and sisal for something different.
Packaging Across a Range of Products
Many customers take advantage of our vast experience in designing packaging to let us advise on how to produce a style that works across all their products. (This image shows the hanger bags).
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 aprons (plain or hanger bags).
Wraps
Printed on a heavy-weight 200gsm paper with which we wrap the aprons. They can then be supplied bulk packed or each apron can also be individually poly-bagged.
Ribbon & Carding
Any type of ribbon can be used. The apron is also carded to stiffen it and a swing ticket is a nice final addition.
Barcodes
Are you a retailer that needs their stock barcoded? If so, we have the ability to create whatever barcode you need. Plus we can print them onto your apron swing tickets, packaging or on to peel-able self-adhesive labels. We are also able to attach barcode labels provided by the customer.
