2inch-numbers1Do you need a small number to place in a clip art such as a baseball,  one to put on a sleeve or even to place on a cap?   We have numbers available in sizes as small as 1”.  To order, use Express Names™  and enter numerals instead of letters.  Enter a row of digits or the specific digits you need. If ordering 1” numbers you can fit 8 in a row, at the 2” size you can fit 12 digits, at the 2.5” size you can fit 10 digits and at the 3” size you can fit 8 digits.  These numbers are low cost, only $1.55/row and easy to apply with your heat press in just 4 seconds!  You can peel them off to position the application or cut the release paper and apply with the paper backing, peeling off after pressing.

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

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.

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 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….

2010 Idea Book Better than Ever!

easyprints-idea-bookOur 2010 Idea Book was just released and we’ve made some changes to help in yours and your customers’ selection of Easy Prints® layouts. 

Last year’s Idea Book featured the descriptions of the different Type Formats text can be made into. On pages 5 and 6 of the 2010 catalog you will see these descriptions in bright pink in the color book and in the bottom right corner of the layout in the black & white book. Any of these formats can be used in the hundreds of layouts found in the rest of the book. Just let your representative know when placing the order which format the text should be in. 

The 2010 personalized Idea Book™ features examples of color placements in a few layouts per page. We’ve given some of the layouts some color to give you an idea of different ways these layouts can be changed into awesome tshirt designs. Need them to be a one color when printed, it’s no problem. 

Another useful feature of the 2010 Idea Book™ is the addition of the color notation below the photo on each layout page. We used the screen printed and digital transfers in each of the pictures and noted which colors were used in the print. This is a great way to get ideas of color combinations and also how the colors look on different color garments. 

We have added 230 new template layouts to customize and 200 new clip art.  These layouts include some new pattern designs like leopard and tiger stripes.  Look for the “New for 2010” links in each section online. Check out page 13 in the printed book for the new Alternative layouts featuring more edgy, modern t-shirt designs.
