How we work

From idea to delivery, in four steps.

    Quote

    You send us the design, the size, the material and the quantities. We advise you and give you price and lead times.

  2. 02

    Physical sample

    If you need a physical sample, we make it for an extra cost so you can pin down your idea. That cost is discounted from the order, depending on the quantity.

    Made end to end in our own plant, with every quality check needed so it comes out right.

  4. 04

    Delivery

About

A workshop that understands garments.

Decus started in 1988 in Antioquia, making labels for the apparel industry. Today we ship across the country. Since then we have added techniques, materials and clients, but we still work the same way: a physical sample before production, and one person responsible for each order from start to finish.

  • A physical sample approved before production.
  • Inks free of phthalates and lead.
  • Our own plant, nothing done blind.
  • Runs from 500 units.
