QAL-289 with x19a-999 distress
We are already seeing Saint Patrick’s Day custom transfers flying through the Transfer Express production line. It’s about that time that Dealers start advertising their ability to create the holiday gear and give the customers design ideas. There are so many available Easy Prints® layouts that can be customized to show the St. Patty’s Day spirit! Order just a clip art of a shamrock or choose a layout from the Idea Book™ for more customization options. Some layouts have already been set up specifically for St. Patrick’s Day. Look for layout QHL-34, QHL-41, QHL-42 in the Easy Prints® Idea Book™ or search them online.
This season customers are looking for simple designs with text and clip art with added effects such as distressed or pattern fills. These custom plastisol transfers aren’t just for t shirts either. Heat print your transfers onto foam koozies for those green beer drinkers too!
Our designers put together a few examples of design ideas, clip art, and typestyles that can be used for the St. Patty’s Day celebrations. Don’t forget you can add a distressed effect to many layouts and clip art to give your custom screen printed transfer a vintage look!

Tips for Winning Your Local Baseball League Orders
Feb/100
1. Most baseball leagues are run by volunteers who change year to year. Look in the newspaper for sign-up information to get the name of this year’s contact.
2. Use Easy View™ to approach the contact with new ideas for this year’s league. Prepare a few designs for your first meeting with their name and show them the Idea Book™ for more ideas. Many times they say “do what we did last year” but a new design can separate you from the competition and will win you the job.
Ideas for Mentor Baseball League
3. Suggest new ways to add the sponsor name to the shirt as well. These uses/placement of the sponsor name will save both you and the league money:
- Under the league logo
- Above the number on the back
- On the sleeve
4. Let them know the service you can offer. Remember one color Easy Prints® now ship the same day when ordered by 11am EST, pass this information on to your customer as a service you can offer.
5. Watch our Free Webinar on Leagues as Easy as 1, 2, 3 on February 23rd for more tips and information.

Clip art for customizing Easy Prints® layout
Clip art is ready made art that can be used to create your custom transfers. At Transfer Express, we offer thousands of clip art to help create your custom print ready to apply to your apparel.
The clip art is categorized online and in the Idea Book™. We offer general shapes, mascots, animals, occupations, and sports to name a few of the categories. To find what you are looking for use our clip art search. To find the best results in our search, enter the simplest part of the description you would call the clip art you are looking for. Example: Search for “glasses” instead of sun “glasses” or “bee” instead of “bumble bee”.
Our clip art can be added to an Easy Prints® layout, with text or used alone. It can ordered in just one color or as many colors as you like. If using just one color, what you see in black will be the color you select. If you want to add colors, just let us know what colors are needed and where they should be placed. To order clip art alone – use the layout QAL-CLIP when ordering online.
With thousands of clip art choices, any layout can be made custom for your specific need. The choices are endless….
