About PrintActif
Independent workshop in Forest (Brussels) since 2017.
The workshop
PrintActif is an independent textile customisation and print workshop, based in Forest (Brussels) since 2017.
We manufacture in Brussels, we don't outsource textile customisation. Every order physically passes through the workshop on avenue Van Volxem. Our team handles file review, the digital preview sent to the client, production and quality control.
What we do
- Screen printing: for mid and large runs, durable and premium finish.
- Embroidery: logos on polos, caps, hoodies, high-end finish.
- DTF (digital transfer): no minimum, multicolor, perfect for detailed short runs.
- Flex: text, numbers, names, crisp on jerseys and teamwear.
- Stickers: kiss cut, custom cutting, digital print.
- Large format: banners, roll-ups, flags.
- Print jobs: cards, flyers, posters via our partner printers.
Who for
Bands, bars, restaurants, festivals, small indie brands, non-profits, sports teams, schools, collectives. Anything that needs custom textiles or signage done right, without going through an anonymous factory.

- Direct with the workshop. No sales rep, no call centre. You talk to the team that produces.
