Notes for ordering individual names on garments:
Please set out your order clearly on a separate sheet of paper. We need all names clearly written, with garment style, colour and size - please type the sheet if at all possible. Please also set out the names so garment styles/colours/sizes are in a logical order. Make sure that you set out the names in capitals if you want capitals, or with upper case and lower case lettering if you prefer this. If you use a spreadsheet you may send us a copy of the spreadsheet, this may help us to quickly sort out the order to our own requirements.
Please make sure that you have checked all spellings of names before you submit them.
To keep administration expenses down we do not charge by counting individual letters. We charge by price bands based on the size of the transfer print. For group orders we will charge all names to be printed onto a given garment area (eg centre front) at the same price, regardless of whether some names may fit into a smaller (or occasionally larger) size area.
We charge the above transfer print prices on the assumption that the names will be clearly written, spelt correctly and sorted out, and that no changes will be made after the order has been received by us. Sorting out alterations and corrections to names is very time consuming for us and we may have to charge you for this.
We recommend a minimum of 5 letters in names to be printed on the garment back across the shoulders, to ensure that the name does not look "lost" on the garment.
Larger than "normal" length names may be compressed (the lettering made narrower) to make them fit in the given area.
We can curve lettering - please see our additional charges for this above. This can look very effective where you have curved lettering above a number, on the back of a shirt.
Warning. Some garments are subject to slight colour change in the area where the transfer is applied under heat and pressure. This is one of the limitations of printing and we regret that we cannot accept returns under this complaint. This slight colour change can be permanent on polyester/cotton garments. On 100% cotton it is usually only a temporary colour change.

We also have non-lettering transfer printing options available - these are mostly applicable for small orders, flock prints and simply for groups who prefer the look of transfer printing to either screen printing or embroidery.
Differences between screen printing
and transfer printing
Our normal method of printing is screen printing,
which is a wet process involving inks. Transfer printing involves
applying a dry transfer onto the surface of the garment using heat and
pressure. Screen printing is the best method of printing for most of our
customers, transfer printing has several advantages for certain applications.
In general terms, transfer printing is cheaper than embroidery but more expensive than screen printing.
When to choose transfer printing:
We are currently offering two types of transfer:
1) Ink Transfer
This has a
similar appearance to a screen printed design but tends to have a flatter,
smoother feel to it. Suggested applications: individual names on breast pocket
position or on the back of sports garments, numbering on sports or leisurewear
garments, logo's etc. Ink transfer printing works well on most types of shirts.
Fully machine washable and will last the life of the garment.
2) Flock transfer
The surface
of a flock transfer has a "velvety" feel. Flock transfer printing is most
appropriate for bold designs or larger lettering. Flock transfers work well on
most types of shirts. Fully machine washable and will last the life of the
garment.
Transfer Print Prices
There is an initial set-up charge for many new designs. This is charged for transfer prints (unlike screen printing and embroidery) so that we don't need to ask for a minimum order of 12 garments. We then charge on a "per print" basis, just add the price of the transfer printing to the price of the plain garment. Please remember that we charge carriage on all orders of below 12 garments.
