With the use of custom transfer gang sheets, add on sales can be very profitable and easy to do.  Gang sheets are custom transfers printed with multiple art images on one sheet and then cut apart for use.  This customer’s team ordered uniforms with an Easy Prints® script tail layout  (QAL-42) on the front, a name and number on the back and the team mascot, a stallion (X2H-1) on the sleeve.  They ordered a color change for printing on both their home and away uniforms.  The customer then showed them a bat bag that could be ordered and offered to print it with the mascot and a number.  They were able to use the same mascot transfer that had been used on the sleeve so this print cost them nothing.  They then ordered 2” numbers using Express Names™ for just $3!  The bag was purchased for $17 and printed with a logo and number for just $3.  They sold the custom printed bags for $35 making an extra $15 on each team member!

The spring season is the start of many races including marathons, half marathons, 5k races, triathlons, etc. Especially in larger cities there are many races to profit off of since there are hundreds of runners and their supporters. Since the exact name of major races may be trademarked, using the city name in a running related Easy Prints® layout is legal. Below are some examples of design ideas for customer screen printed transfers. You don’t even have to be a designer to create one-of-a-kind designs in your area.  

Each runner brings family and friends to support them during the race. Personalization is extremely popular on t shirts for those who are there to cheer on their runner. Add a team name to the back of the shirt for added profits! Choose Peel n’ Press letters for on the spot personalization. Just peel the letters and place them on the shirt.  In just 4 seconds of application time you can have a personalized shirt ready for your customers in just minutes!

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.

Maximize the Screen Printed Transfer Sheet

All Same Image Gang Sheet

All Same Image Gang Sheet - Layout -QBU-44

A large number of screen printed transfer orders that come through Transfer Express® consist of 1 image on the sheet that is a standard size adult print (11” wide).  At the sheet size of 11.25” x 14”, what happens to the other 4 inches? Well a majority of cases, this space goes to waste because the customer isn’t aware of the possibility to get the most for their money. Other times, this space goes to making the sheet a “gang sheet”.  A gang sheet just means there are multiple images on 1 transfer sheet.  This is the best way to use the sheet to its maximum potential. 

We just recently had an order for a restaurant that needed 25 shirts with a standard size Easy Prints® design in 1 color. We gave the customer the option of maximizing their sheet by adding the logo in a smaller size. Their one concern was, “what is the cost difference?” Per sheet for a full size design the cost was $2.39 a piece. To add 2 smaller images to the sheet the cost is $ $2.60. For just .21 cents, the customer received 2 more images per sheet that can be added to just about anything including polo shirts for the managers, aprons, chef jackets, towels, etc. A great way to get add-on sales without high costs. 

Many things can be done with the extra transfers for just cents.  Just be creative and look for items that are cotton, polyester or blends of cotton/polyester to add your extra transfers to.  You can also use them as samples to show your customers!  If you know your customer isn’t going to use the smaller images, add your company logo or the logo of another customer onto the sheet.  Otherwise, the extra inches are just paper to be thrown away when it could be money in your pocket.

Custom Transfer Numbers

We have a large selection of colors and styles in our screen printed Easy Prints®  Numbers  program, but if you don’t see the style or color you like we can do a custom number order for you.  If you want a logo or pattern in the number, our custom number program is for you.  Pricing for custom numbers is based on the size, number of colors and quantity needed.   Although you can order a minimum of 5 of each digit, the pricing becomes economical for quantities of 25 or more of each digit.   This is a great way to give an exclusive look for a league or to make uniform numbers from your store stand out in the crowd.   If interested, just email us the color or style you need, the size and how many of each digit and we will email you a quote.  

Our transfer numbers will apply to cotton, polyester and cotton/poly blends fabrics.
