Football teams need motivation, churches need inspiration and schools need encouragement. Everyone loves a good quote, and at Transfer Express we make it easy to put that quote on a tshirt or sweatshirt with plastisol transfer.    
The first step is to find a layout that matches how you want your quote laid out—do you want two lines, three lines  , with a clip art, etc… We have many text layout designs as well as layouts in our typesetting section for longer quotes. Current Dealers can find their layouts on TransferExpress.com and customize it online. Don’t forget you can try different letter styles. If you new to Transfer Express, just give us a call we can place your first order over the phone! Just let us know how many custom printed transfers you need, the ink color, and the size. If you order by 11 am EST, your one color custom quote design will ship the same day!

How to Decorate Soccer Uniforms

QSO-58 on soccer uniform

QSO-58 on soccer uniform

Score this soccer season with increased soccer uniform sales.

Soccer teams will now be ordering for the fall season. We have hundreds of soccer designs your teams can choose from as well as the products to apply to these uniforms. Soccer uniforms are typically 100% polyester. All Transfer Express products will apply to this fabric.  If they are labeled “dazzle polyester”, that is just a finish and will not effect the transfer application. One thing to watch for is “sublimated” 100% polyester.  These still can be decorated with our Polytrans screen printed transfers, but you will need to order at least a 2 color print, with the dark color as the outline/background color to block the sublimated dye. For example, if you are using white ink on a red sublimated shirt, we recommend ordering white with a black outline.

Our digitally printed Cad-Printz™ are also great for soccer uniforms especially heart size crests that can be applied to almost any uniform. Cad-Printz ™ are full color so your teams can really stand out at a low cost this season.

Custom art screen printed transfers

In the news recently, there have been many stories that have stayed on the front headlines for weeks which should mean dollar signs to t shirt business owners. In Cleveland and many other cities the front page headlines of sports pages for the past few months have speculated on the decision Lebron James faces about leaving the Cleveland basketball scene. If a story such as this has been in the headlines consistently over a period of time, there’s opportunity for t shirts to sell. Try to think outside of the box when designing a t shirt that relates to a current event.  Simple lines of text such as “LBJ STAY” sell quickly!

 The recent disaster in the Gulf has been the BP oil spill which will be on the minds of Americans for months and years to come. T shirt shops are already starting to profit off of funny t shirts that protest and raise awareness about the issue. Because of the cultural relevance witty sayings gain attention and appeal to today’s shoppers.

 Using custom transfers allow you to be creative and offer designs that can be applied to different types of t shirts and sweatshirts of any size and color without sitting on inventory. Since these designs may not have been ordered by a group, you can store the transfer sheets until someone buys. Keep a few sizes in different colors and styles on hand for when customers come to you and make their decision. In just 4 seconds of application time, the screen printed transfer and be heat applied to the shirt!
