WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED

 

To get started, you’ll need a Heat Press, some Heat Transfers, and blank garments. Yes, that's it!

 

Decorating garments with a heat press is an easy, cost-effective way to enter the T-shirt printing business. It allows for personalisation at scale on a wide variety of items and fabrics. Because of the ease of use and versatility, this is the go-to among start-up businesses and entrepreneurs.

 

With a full professional setup cost starting at £600, it’s the most affordable professional decorating setup available on the market.

WHAT ARE HEAT TRANSFERS?

 

Heat Transfers turn your designs into garment decorations. They are manufactured using ink, printed onto a carrier and sent to you ready to be applied to a garment using a heat press.

 

They can be applied to any textile/ fabric that can take heat. Heat transfers are used to get a soft finish, that feels like part of the garment. And to get vibrant colours, neons and metallic finishes from your designs. 

 

With Custom Heat Transfers, all you need to do is provide artwork. Once you are happy with your design, add it to the uploader and we will bring it to life. Then in your own time press on demand by fusing it under a Heat Press for 10-12 seconds.

 

There are two types of transfer: Screen Printed & UltraColour. Both will last the lifetime of the garment.
