We print every order in our workshop using two methods: DTF (direct-to-film) transfers and heat-applied vinyl. Here's what each one does best, so you know what to expect when your proof comes through.
DTF transfers
DTF prints your design onto a film, which is then heat-pressed onto the garment.
- Handles full-colour logos, fine detail and gradients
- Great for large back prints on tees and hoodies
- Stays soft and flexible, so it moves with the fabric
- Works on cotton, polyester and blends
Most logos we print, including almost every chest and back print, are DTF.
Heat-applied vinyl
Vinyl is cut from sheets of solid colour and heat-pressed on.
- Crisp, bold one or two-colour logos
- Ideal for names, numbers and text, for example on club kit
- Very opaque, so it stands out on dark garments
We'll pick the right method for your artwork, and your proof will show you exactly how it will look.
What about embroidery?
We don't embroider. Printing gives you sharper detail, full colour and big back prints at a lower price, with no stitch counts or digitising fees. It also suits lightweight garments like tees and performance wear, where embroidery can pucker.
Making your print last
- Wash inside out at 30–40°C
- Don't tumble dry on high heat
- Don't iron directly on the print
Sending your logo
Vector files (SVG, AI, EPS or PDF) give the best result. A high-resolution PNG with a transparent background also works. Just reply to your order confirmation with the file. See how ordering works.
