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.

Creating Name Event Shirts Can Be Big Money Maker

If you are doing any type of event such a sports tournament, gymnastics or track meet, or dancing, skating, or baton twirling competition, you may be leaving money on the table if you are not offering a shirt with all the participant’s names on it.

For Philip Daly, Proprintwear (https://proprintwear.com/), East Setauket, N.Y., this type of shirt is always a best seller. Proprintwear travels the country setting up at national and regional fencing tournaments, where he is often the official supplier.

Prior to the event, organizers send Proprintwear the list of entrants, which he then inputs into a document. He has learned that he can get 1,500 names onto an 11- by 14-inch transfer. If the event has more than 1,500 names, he will either split the list into two parts or sometimes even three. In all situations, any entrant can buy an event T-shirt with his or her name on the back.

This 11-by-14-inch transfer will fit on a shirt on any size from youth small and up. He credits his ability to do this highly detailed type of design on the continually improving quality of Transfer Express transfers. “The ability to put name transfers on shirts has improved by 300%,” he says.

As an add-on sale, Proprintwear plans on offering customers the opportunity to have a gold star added to their name so it stands out on the list by stocking the stars made out of precut heat press transfer films.

Customers can choose from more than 250 stocked designs of various sizes, and the process starts with one design, but it does not end there. Customers may add as many additional designs as space allows thus creating a one-of-a-kind garment of their liking. 

Proprintwear has labeled this market technique as Add-A-Print. The basic shirt retails for $19.95 while charging an additional $10 for each Add-A-Print.  Furthering customer satisfaction, Proprintwear imprints these designs wherever the customer desires. 

Often he’ll have these shirts on display not only in his booth, but also at registration and where participants check their equipment so they get maximum exposure.

The new stock patriotic screen printed designs, Transfer Extreme™, have a lot of color and are a great new look. Did you know you can order name drops to customize these stock designs at a minimum cost?
Here you see two examples of how you can combine a Transfer Extreme patriotic design with a name drop ordered on gang sheets.

Transfer Extreme USA-5 with name

Transfer Extreme USA-11 with name drop

1.) First choose a design from the Transfer Extreme collection.
2.) Decide what text you would like to add, the color and the typestyle (We have over 100 typestyles to choose from, and a distress effect can be added).
3.) Create a gang sheet and order the number of name drops (Sanford Family Reunion was 3.5” tall x 8.5” wide and we could fit 3 prints per sheet. Allegheny 4th of July Parade was 3.5” tall x 8” wide with 3 prints per sheet).
4.) Position both transfers on the page and apply with one application.

How To Outfit An All Star Uniform

Baseball All Star teams are forming and these teams will need uniforms. Start with the front of the uniform and dress them like pros! An entire layout category is dedicated to these players in our Easy Prints® collection. Many of these teams will want two or more colors on the print and our online design tool, Easy View™ can show your customers what the print will look like in two colors on their shirt. All Star teams frequently also add a number to the front of the uniform under the logo, especially script with tails layouts. If doing teen uniforms, our 4” numbers are perfect. For smaller youth, use 2.5” or 3” numbers ordered through our Express Names program. If using 2.5” numbers you can fit 10 digits in one strip, and for 3” numbers you can fit 8.   

The All Stars will want to be recognized so be sure so to be sure to add an Express Name above the number on the back. The 2.5” size is best for teen uniforms and the 2” size is perfect for younger teams. The number under the name can be ordered in two colors to match the uniform front, and with Easy Prints® numbers it is one application in just 4 seconds. For teen uniforms, an 8” number can be used and for smaller sizes use a 6” number.

If your team has a sponsor this can be added to the sleeve. Add this as well as a cap size print for your team caps to the front logo and create a gang sheet – all three logos are printed on one sheet for a great cost savings.

Add an American flag to the other sleeve and your All Star is ready to play!

Transfer Extreme Layout USA-10 America is Great

We’re a patriotic bunch, here at STAHLS’ Transfer Express.  Flags are waving, banners are soaring, and Lenny Schiavone just cooked a whole bunch of hot dogs for us to kick off the Memorial Day Weekend!

Meanwhile, we’re still celebrating the launch of our latest product offering, Transfer Extreme, and its introductory collection of patriotic screen-printed transfers.  Since it hit the wires on Wednesday, May 25th, each of our 10 Americana stock designs has been flying off the shelves.  (Looks like we’ll have to keep printing!)

Transfer Extreme USA-1

Transfer Extreme Layout USA-1

Transfer Extreme is really special to us.  We enlisted the help of industry-renowned graphics expert, Dane Clement, to create trendy, edgy designs that truly display American Pride.  These were screen-printed with plastisol inks using our new, innovative, simulated 4-color process printing method.  This provides beautiful graphics, intricate designs, and full, vibrant colors.  The image quality is comparable to direct screen-printing, digital printing, or litho.  However, the finished product gives you a very soft hand (not plastic-y like those other guys), and it applies in only 4 seconds!  Plus, it’s great for both light and dark fabrics; for cotton, polyester, and cotton/polyester material.

Dane created designs that are ideal for all ages, but will especially appeal to the alternative looks that teens and young adults love.  Just in time for Memorial Day, they’re perfect for summertime fashion and your customers’ 4th of July Independence Day celebrations.

In the meantime, I hope your family, like mine, will be struttin’ their stuff this Memorial Day Weekend wearing Transfer Extreme designs!

Transfer Extreme™ Layout USA-7

  STAHLS’ Transfer Express® is well-known throughout the industry as being the industry leader in providing its customers with custom transfers. We set the bar with our one-day shipping of our Easy Prints® screen-printed transfers using our Idea Book™ catalog of thousands of available designs, layouts, and clipart. We’re also established as an innovative company, constantly employing new technologies and adding new products to our ever-expanding collection. Most recently, this has included CAD-PRINTZ™ digital transfers, Foil, Glow-In-The-Dark, and non-apparel Banners, Stickers, Wall Graphics, and Window Clings.

Today, we are proud to announce the introduction of our newest product. Transfer Extreme™ is a transfer that is screen-printed with plastisol inks using an inventive simulated 4-color printing process. The end result gives your customer a beautifully screen-printed graphic, allowing for extremely intricate designs and vibrant colors. The image quality is very comparable to that of digital transfers, but with the much softer hand of screen-printing.

Other transfer companies offering similar products are forced to deliver you a very hard, heavy graphic in order to deliver similar image quality. Or, they have to sacrifice the quality in order to provide a softer hand. Transfer Extreme provides both quality and soft feel, AND is VERY easy to apply:  4 seconds! Using one of STAHLS’ Hotronix® heat presses set on 365 degrees, Transfer Extreme applies in just 4 seconds. [Transfer Extreme Application Instructions] You can screen-print 4 colors in just 4 seconds! (Well, actually, it’s MORE than 4 colors, but who’s counting?!) Transfer Extreme applies to cotton, polyester, and cotton/polyester material, and works on both light and dark fabric.
