New T-Shirt Designs from Great Dane Graphics for 2012
Dec/111
It’s been said many times in the decorated apparel industry that the design is what sells the shirt. Great artwork with a theme or genre that is current and popular can’t be kept on the shelves, but dated artwork that looks like the same old thing can’t be sold except as a clearance item.
For this reason, the success of any decorated apparel shop depends on offering great, cutting-edge artwork. And one of the best things about Transfer Express is that we offer a comprehensive library of new and traditional designs that gets updated and expanded all year long. No matter what graphics your customers are requesting, we will have them in some form or fashion.
We are excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with Dane Clement of Great Dane Graphics and are releasing new fresh customizable designs over the next few weeks. Be on the lookout. We will be releasing a few designs at a time. Here’s a sneak preview of what you can expect.

Shooting for Basketball Printing Profits
Dec/110
The NBA Strike has been settled, college and high school basketball has begun and local recreational teams are getting started as well. Now is the time to help these teams with uniforms and apparel.
We can help you uniform the team to start. Reversible jerseys are especially easy with custom transfers. See our new video! Most basketball uniforms only use the digits 0-5 when numbering keeping your costs low—a pack of each digit will number an entire team! Don’t forget to offer printed bags, all basketball players carry their shoes to the court and our CAD-PRINTZ™ Opaque work great on the popular nylon cinch bags.
Reversible jerseys are easy with custom transfers.
Even greater profits are available from spirit wear. We have 120 layouts ready to customize for your team’s fans. Use Easy View™ to make the team up a flyer to pass out to family members.
Custom Screen Printed Transfers Proven Durable!
Nov/111
Our products have been tested for proven durability to meet your customer’s needs. All of our screen printed transfers recently went through a wash test by a testing lab.
The products were tested on 100% cotton, 50/50 Cotton/Polyester, 100% Polyester Steel mesh, 100% Polyester patterned Jacquard, 100% Polyester 70 Denier Tricot Mesh w/moisture wicking, anti-microbial agents and stain resistant coatings and 100% Polyester Dazzle.
The products tested were Goof Proof, Polytrans, Hot Split, Reflective, Glitter, Pearl, Puff and Elasti Prints. Each was applied to every fabric and then subjected to 50 wash/dry cycles.
Through all 50 wash/dry cycles, all of the products submitted held up through this vigorous testing. This is helpful to ensure your customers are receiving the highest quality graphics that will last them a long time.
Our Goof Proof® ink formula on a variety of fabric types after testing.
Christmas Transfers for Gift Giving Apparel
Nov/110
Help your customer with gift giving shopping—Transfer Extreme™ Christmas gives you a choice of 5 different stock transfers, 3 with Puff ink that can be applied to cotton, polyester and cotton/polyester blends in seconds.
Our new line of full color transfers can be applied to tees, tote bags, fleece, towels and even pillowcases! They are sold in packs of 10 for just $20. You can buy a pack of your favorite design or a multi-pack that includes 2 of each of the 5 designs.
Full color, screen printed Christmas transfers are perfect to sell as gifts. Pictured here is Christmas design HOL-56.
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. Not only did their customers buy a little more to reach the $100 plateau, it was great advertising when carried in public, generating more business.
The Ins and Outs of League Business
Nov/110
Yesterday with Doug Wilcoxson of Bomark, we hosted an all day seminar on the ins and outs of league business here at Transfer Express.
Ben Reutter and Chris Ulrich of Transfer Express hosted an all day seminar on league business.
Doug discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the league business. The advantages are a reputation in the community, many uniforms to decorate and the stability of the league business even during down times. The disadvantage is a lot of business all with the same delivery demands, add-ons, and low margins.
He reviewed ideas for overcoming these disadvantages such as getting them to buy an extra uniform right from the start, the use of transfers so that you do have the one extra to apply in seconds and using the delivery as an opportunity to advertise for more profitable business.
He also emphasized the importance of getting 50% down when ordered, and the rest on delivery because leagues have all of their money paid when sign up ends before the season starts, and as the season progresses payment for grass cutting, lights, umpires, etc may drain an ill planned budget.
Doug from Bomark explains the ins and outs of league business at an all day Open House Seminar hosted by Transfer Express.
Doug also brought samples of the uniforms distributing by Bomark. He will be presenting this same seminar at upcoming ISS shows, so if you are at a show it is a great investment of time in your business.
Choosing Your Custom Transfer Product-Your Apparel Will Make Your Choice
Nov/110
When choosing what custom transfer to use, one of the most important factors is what apparel type your customer is requesting. If your customer wants to order a nylon jacket, your product choice is limited to the only product that works on nylon—CAD-PRINTZ™ Opaque. If your customer wants a compression fit polyester material, your product choices are CAD-PRINTZ Opaque and Elasti Prints®.
Shown here is a CAD-PRINTZ digital transfer used to decorate a compression fit polyester material.
If your customer wants a custom printed t-shirt, or anything cotton, polyester or cotton/poly blends your choices are unlimited. You will then need to consider if it is full color (digital product line) or spot color (screen printed transfer line). Another factor to consider is quantity. You can order as few as 1 of the digital transfers, but there is a 5 piece minimum when ordering the screen printed transfers using our layouts, or 10 if providing art.
Our customer service team will help you get the best product at the best price for your job.
