Blueblood Boost Production Efficiency With SABTEX® Dual Electric Heat Press With Image Projection.
BlueBlood are a premium supplier of teamwear, schoolwear, workwear, corporate clothing and promotional merchandise, operating from their purpose-built production facility in Shabbington, near Thame, Oxfordshire. With in-house embroidery, print and fulfilment services, the company is well known for investing in the latest production technology to support its continued growth.
Recently, BlueBlood invested in a SABTEX® TS20 Dual Station Electric Heat Press with Projection System after seeing it in action at printwear and promotion live 2026 to help increase production efficiency and maintain the high standards their customers have come to expect. We caught up with Ben Cook, Marketing Director at BlueBlood, to find out what they were looking for and why they chose SABTEX®.
“As our business continues to grow, we need equipment that can keep pace with customer demand while maintaining quality and consistency. The SABTEX® TS20 stood out because of its build quality, reliability and professional specification, making it a natural fit for our production environment.”
Having first discovered Sabur through industry recommendations and their own research into premium heat press solutions, seeing the SABTEX® TS20 Dual Station Heat Press in action at Printwear & Promotion 2026 proved to be the deciding factor.
“We’ve been working with Sabur since February 2026 as part of our ongoing investment in production equipment. We first became aware of Sabur through industry recommendations and our research into premium heat press solutions for our expanding print department. When we saw the TS20 with image projection at the Printwear & Promotion event, it sealed the deal.”
When asked which heat press they selected and why, Ben explained that increasing efficiency while maintaining quality across larger production runs was a key priority.
“We chose the SABTEX® TS20 Dual Station Heat Press mainly to improve consistency across larger production runs and help us maintain quality standards while increasing efficiency. As our volumes continue to grow, this made the most sense for our business.”

When discussing what set SABTEX® apart from competitor solutions, Ben highlighted not only the quality of the equipment but also the confidence provided by Sabur’s expertise and support.
“The combination of build quality, reliability, support and overall value made Sabur stand out. We wanted equipment that would become a long-term part of our production setup rather than a short-term solution. The knowledge and support from the Sabur team also gave us confidence that we were making the right investment.”
Since installation, the SABTEX® TS20 has become an integral part of BlueBlood’s production workflow, helping the company increase capacity and process larger volumes more efficiently.
“The new press has increased our production capacity and allowed us to process larger volumes more efficiently. It has also improved consistency across transfers and enabled us to take on more work with confidence during peak periods.”
The positive impact was quickly recognised by the production team, who found the press easy to use and integrate into their daily workflow.
“The feedback has been extremely positive. The press is straightforward to use, reliable and comfortable to operate throughout the day. The team quickly adapted to it and immediately noticed improvements in workflow and efficiency.”
One of the standout benefits for BlueBlood has been the consistency delivered by the press, helping to streamline production and reduce bottlenecks.
“The consistency and ease of use are probably the biggest benefits. The installation has streamlined our production process, reduced bottlenecks and helped us meet customer deadlines more efficiently. It has also given us the confidence to continue expanding our print offering.”
When comparing output quality to previous equipment, Ben noted significant improvements in both consistency and repeatability.
To round things off, we asked Ben how he found the experience of working with Sabur and whether he would recommend both Sabur and the SABTEX® range to others.
“Absolutely. The team have been knowledgeable, responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. From the initial discussions through to installation and support, the experience has been professional and straightforward. The quality, performance and reliability make it an excellent investment for businesses looking to improve efficiency and maintain high production standards.”
Looking ahead, 2026 is set to be another exciting year for BlueBlood as they continue investing in growth.
“We are expanding our production facility, investing in additional equipment and continuing to grow our in-house print and embroidery capabilities. We’re also developing new online ordering solutions for schools, sports clubs and corporate customers while continuing to build on our reputation as one of Oxfordshire’s leading custom clothing and merchandise suppliers.”
We’d like to thank Ben and the team at BlueBlood for taking the time to share their experience with us. We’re happy to be supporting their continued growth and future investments, take a look at their website HERE.
