Stock Transfers vs. Custom Transfers

Transfer Express is primarily a custom transfer producer although we do carry a few stock transfers.  So what is the difference? 

Stock flag transfers

Stock flag transfers

Stock transfers must be ordered just as they are—at the size, colors and with the text (if any).  They are typically printed in a large quantity and then can be ordered in smaller quantities.  Transfer Express carries a few stock transfers such as the American Flag, the Canadian Flag and the Cancer Ribbons.  During the holidays we will also stock a limited line, and our numbers are stock transfers.  Because this type of transfer, is “in stock” and ready to go, you can order them as late as 3:00 EST and they will ship the same day.

With custom transfers you can order what you want.  Transfer Express offers two types of custom transfers.  

The first are Easy Prints®.  These are custom transfers created from our Idea Book™ layouts.  We give you the idea and you tell us what you would like it to say, the clip art, the text, the size and the colors.  Transfer Express is the originator of this type of custom transfer and has perfected it, so that one color Easy Prints®, created custom, can ship the same day when ordered by 11 AM Eastern.

The second type of custom transfer is from provided artwork.  You send us the art, and we print it.  Art can be sent online, and we will give you a call to finalize the details once received.
