This week we show you layouts from the swimming, wrestling, basketball, volleyball and cheerleading sections. All sections are customizable. By just changing the text and clip art the swimming layout is transformed to a race print, the wrestling transforms to a ballerina print, the basketball to a baseball print, the volleyball to a cheerleading and the cheerleading to a landscaping. You can see with just a little creativity you can meet any customer’s needs.

Use a new layout with one of our new colors. The new colors are soft pink, powder blue, khaki, pistachio, watermelon and violet. We also added to our popular Pearl Prints™, which are a soft metallic look. Pearl Prints are now available in gold, copper, blue, green, purple, and now pink!

We can help you uniform the team to start. Reversible jerseys are especially easy with custom transfers. See our new video! Most basketball uniforms only use the digits 0-5 when numbering keeping your costs low—a pack of each digit will number an entire team! Don’t forget to offer printed bags, all basketball players carry their shoes to the court and our CAD-PRINTZ™ Opaque work great on the popular nylon cinch bags.

Reversible jerseys are easy with custom transfers.

Even greater profits are available from spirit wear. We have 120 layouts ready to customize for your team’s fans. Use Easy View™ to make the team up a flyer to pass out to family members.

The products were tested on 100% cotton, 50/50 Cotton/Polyester, 100% Polyester Steel mesh, 100% Polyester patterned Jacquard, 100% Polyester 70 Denier Tricot Mesh w/moisture wicking, anti-microbial agents and stain resistant coatings and 100% Polyester Dazzle.

The products tested were Goof Proof, Polytrans, Hot Split, Reflective, Glitter, Pearl, Puff and Elasti Prints. Each was applied to every fabric and then subjected to 50 wash/dry cycles. 

Through all 50 wash/dry cycles, all of the products submitted held up through this vigorous testing. This is helpful to ensure your customers are receiving the highest quality graphics that will last them a long time.

Our Goof Proof® ink formula on a variety of fabric types after testing.

Our new line of full color transfers can be applied to tees, tote bags, fleece, towels and even pillowcases!  They are sold in packs of 10 for just $20. You can buy a pack of your favorite design or a multi-pack that includes 2 of each of the 5 designs.

Full color, screen printed Christmas transfers are perfect to sell as gifts. Pictured here is Christmas design HOL-56.

Want to add customization? No problem! Text can be ordered as Express Names™ for individual personalization or in gang sheets for group personalization.

You can even create your own “gift” by adding your store name to the prints! One customer told us they gave a personalized tote bag, with every order over $100. Not only did their customers buy a little more to reach the $100 plateau, it was great advertising when carried in public, generating more business.

Ben Reutter and Chris Ulrich of Transfer Express hosted an all day seminar on league business.

Doug discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the league business. The advantages are a reputation in the community, many uniforms to decorate and the stability of the league business even during down times. The disadvantage is a lot of business all with the same delivery demands, add-ons, and low margins.

He reviewed ideas for overcoming these disadvantages such as getting them to buy an extra uniform right from the start, the use of transfers so that you do have the one extra to apply in seconds and using the delivery as an opportunity to advertise for more profitable business. 

He also emphasized the importance of getting 50% down when ordered, and the rest on delivery because leagues have all of their money paid when sign up ends before the season starts, and as the season progresses payment for grass cutting, lights, umpires, etc may drain an ill planned budget.

Doug from Bomark explains the ins and outs of league business at an all day Open House Seminar hosted by Transfer Express.

Doug also brought samples of the uniforms distributing by Bomark. He will be presenting this same seminar at upcoming ISS shows, so if you are at a show it is a great investment of time in your business.

If your customer wants a custom printed t-shirt, or anything cotton, polyester or cotton/poly blends your choices are unlimited. You will then need to consider if it is full color (digital product line) or spot color (screen printed transfer line). Another factor to consider is quantity. You can order as few as 1 of the digital transfers, but there is a 5 piece minimum when ordering the screen printed transfers using our layouts, or 10 if providing art.

Our customer service team will help you get the best product at the best price for your job.

It took a few emails back and forth for them to understand that even though they had 3 different designs, you save a ton of money by doing just one order with all three images on the same sheet.

The customer thought they could fit 6 on a sheet and was going to do 3 orders of 10 each. By doing this, it would have cost 10 x $5.09 = $50.90 x 3 = $152.70.

Instead, we suggested they put all three designs on one gang sheet (to create a gang sheet, all images must fit within an 11.25” x 14” area, and use the same ink color). We were actually able to fit 9 on a sheet, 3 of each design and by doing just one order of 20 sheets, they did get 60 of each image for $60.20 (20 sheets x $3.01/sheet)—a cost savings of $92.50.  The 180 baby shirts were custom printed using screen printed transfers for just 33¢ each!

Using a gang sheet for multiple images for custom screen printed transfers will help save money

By using the Halloween clip art and your own text, you can customize any of the Easy Prints® layouts.

Don’t limit yourself to just the Holiday section-any of the thousands of professionally created layouts can be customized for Halloween with the use of clip art and your choice of text.  In the examples, we used layouts from the Alternative Fashion, Anywear, Basketball and Holiday sections, just using holiday clip art and text to fit the event.  Be creative with your text using fun phrases your customer might like.

Is your customer looking for a print for a children’s Halloween party?  Order a one color print, press on a white shirt and provide fabric markers to use as the party craft.  One customer told me they just provided washable markers and the kids were thrilled that when washed the coloring was removed and they could start all over again!
