Now, before the custom transfer is applied to the garment is where you may see a difference.  The difference between 100% cotton and a 50/50 is the amount of moisture  in the fabric fibers. The 100% cotton t shirt or hooded sweatshirt will hold more moisture and will need to be prepressed for a longer duration to remove the moisture. This is done before the transfer is applied.

Which screen printed ink formulas work best for the different types of fabric?

50/50 Cotton Polyester blends – Goof Proof®, Hot Split, Polytrans, as well as every other heat transfer that Transfer Express manufactures.

100% Cotton – Same as 50/50.

Recommendation:
Hot Split transfers will apply to 100% cotton however a longer prepress time is needed. All you need to do is pre-press for a few more seconds or until you do not see any more “steam” being released.

If you are unsure of which transfer type will work best for your type of fabric our Dealer Services Team is more than happy to give you suggestions.

The least expensive shipping method is Ground. With either ground service your package will arrive in 1-4 days depending on your location.   Most packages weigh about 2-5 pounds (the carriers always charge for the minimum weight of 2 pounds) and will cost $8-$12. 

If you are in the Midwest, ground is the best way to ship.  For those outside of the Midwest region we have negotiated a special rate, called Speedy Air.  With this service you will get your package via air in 2 working days, anywhere in the continental United States, for the price of ground.  So no matter where you are located your package arrives in just 2 days!

If you need your package guaranteed overnight you will need to use a Next Day Air Service.  There are two types of next day air services—next morning or next afternoon.  The morning service costs more and will deliver your package by 10:30 am to most commercial addresses.  If you are located in a residential or rural area this package should arrive by noon.  The typical cost for a 2-5 pound package sent Next Morning is approximately $30-$35.  The second type of air service, saves a little money and is Next Afternoon.  To commercial addresses in most cities this arrives by 3:30 but can arrive anytime during their delivery day to rural and residential addresses.  The typical cost for a Next Afternoon package weighing 2-5 pounds is about $25-$30.

If you choose to have your package sent COD (cash on delivery) a $12 charge is added to pay the carrier to collect the money.  You save the COD fees by using a credit card.  We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover.

At Transfer Express we try to reduce costs by using ship groups.  Orders scheduled to ship the same day will always be grouped together to ship in one box, for one shipping fee.  If you have orders shipping over several days, you can decide if they should be grouped to leave with the latest package or shipped separately based on your time needs.  Just let your dealer service representative know what works best for you.

QAL-289 with x19a-999 distress

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!

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.

Clip art for customizing Easy Prints® layout

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….

Don’t forget about selling those St. Patrick’s Day shirts. We have shamrock clip art too!

To have custom transfers created using this design idea, use Easy Prints® layout QAL-340 and customize the text and clip art for your customer’s needs. Some great examples are below to get your creativity flowing. Becoming a Dealer allows you to use the Easy View™ design previewer to see your design idea before it gets printed!

I love tshirts!
