Glad to help out man. The hat press will definitely be a lot faster and a better option though if you print labels often enough, but for once in a while stuff the inside out method is perfect 👌🏻
Thanks for the video again. I just start my own company and everything looks so easy until you do it your self. I just ruined a order of 110 shirts. It will take a lot of practise to get the right print and setup. I cost me a lot of money but i'll keep going to make this work.
That's all you have to do, push through the mistakes. I've messed up a lot of shit along the way and still do, literally just messed up a few like 5 mins ago 😂
mistakes are part of the business I guess, I've been printing for years and I just burned a screen with my artwork backwards. rule of thumb in our business is to always have exrra shirts you're printing for a mistake here and there.
Lee “get shit done right” Stuart. It’s rad to see someone actually take pride in what they do and not be afraid to share it with others. (By the way RAD was an awesome movie!) 😂. Thanks again. 🤙🏽
If you don't have a hat press and order shirts in bulk and don't want to ruin a shirt...he gave GREAT advice but you can also do the inside labels with the regular heat press method when the shirts arrive before you put the design on. Then you have labeled shirts by size to help you store them
Thats also a good piece of advice. Typically I don't label until after printing so I'm stuck in that habit and didn't even think of mentioning that you can do it beforehand 😂. Thanks dude 👌🏻
Lee Stuart I learned the hard way when I first got started. Ripped all the tags off my Bella Canvas shirts, did designs cause that was my focus annnnd had to figure out what size was what when orders came in lol. Keep up the great work
Quick question. I’m new to this & interested in the template. However, I’m confused on what to print it on before heat pressing it. I have a cricut as far as what I’ve been using to put things on my shirts.
Thank You for this video. I'm just now trying start a small retail business and on some of the clothing, i want to add a tagless logo. I want to buy the machine to do it and your video gave me the ideal to do it... I need some tagless labels... It looks like, i got to get a hat press or shirt press.
Could you make a video of you explaining about the colors what Photo Emulsion which brands etc. that would be very helpful :) huge follower of your channel and recently started my own brand
That shirt heat press has a platten that is real weird shapped it has a square and then is kind of curved on both sides. I used that to apply transfer tags it doesn’t allow the heated plate to touch the garment if there’s a print on it
Another killer video bro love the knowledge and tips and tricks I got the neck label pack and one of your fonts in my shopping cart keep Killin it bro 😁👍✌️
I've been watching your video's as I'm planning to screenprint shirts for a cause I'm doing. Somehow ended up on your Amazon wish list, so I sent ya a book u wanted. Thanks for all the great videos!
Hey man my book got here today so I wanted to come back and say thanks again! Super pumped that you did that. I posted it on my Instagram story but I didn't know how to tag you
Yup it'll work for some stuff, just not all like plastisol will. Something like a next level triblend is insanely thin and even with plastisol you have to be delicate, waterbased would blast through it in a hurry haha
Lee you're a G! Cheers for adding solid content to the knowledge pool man, we always appreciate your videos. Do you have any suggestions for printing neck lables on the extra-linty insides of sweaters and hoodies?
Glad to help man. You can make transfers for hoodies which is what a lot of people do, but for most hoodies I just print them right in without any issues
Bro this shit is awesome. Definitely using this for merch line, and much appreciate the easy on the wallet tags :D Thanks brother, and greetings from a fellow Canadian :)
A huge fan of your work and I've been working on pretty similar stuff for my clothing brand. And just like to clarify something, isn't the print upside down ? For those raglan tees you test printed?
Another awesome video! No questions on the neck labels and I might be taking advantage of your art files, thanks! But I notice you've got another template line on your palette which I'm guessing is for aligning your chest prints. Would like to see how you handle them, especially with different garments and sizes.
Thanks man. On my palettes I draw out a few reference lines to easily line things up to during setup and know where I'm at. Such as how far down from the collar, how far over for left chest, etc. Might be a good topic to cover actually
@@leestuart38 I always print the same distance down from the neckline and distance off centre but there's probably a better way to go. Just bought the label pack and picked up a shirt. International shipping's a bitch! lol ;)
Never would've guessed u were in Canada. U definitely sound American to me. But hey thats just me, love the videos and all the shirts. Hopefully one day I'll be able to screen print, I'm thinking about getting a heat press soon to get started.
Everyone thinks I'm American haha, I did live there for a while so I guess something stuck. A heat press is a great way to get started, I started off with nothing but a hat heat press 🤘🏻
@@leestuart38 oh wow I can't believe u responded to this a year after it came out. Damn dude I don't see how u have enough time to fit all the things that u do in a day. I can tell with these well made videos that u put time and meticulous skill into everything u do. I will definitely be sending some money your way eventually to get some of those sweet ass shirts, and maybe some hats sometime in the near to distant future. Thanx for all the info u put out, if I ever do get some shirts going I'll send one your way. I feel that I almost owe u, because of all the very helpful info u, and Cam from the print life put out. I'll have to make sure its a good one, one that I think is the best design I can think of.
I started my own apparel biz a few months ago, right now I'm getting all the printing done off-site. But I'm looking at working my way up to screen printing all my apparel myself. Have any tips or a video with tips and tricks that would help me out? :) I think I've watched like 20 of your videos in a row.
The biggest thing is ask yourself how badly you want to be a screen printer, because it takes way more time and dedication than people realize to be good at it and produce a quality product. It took me a year of doing it full time every day to get remotely good at it, and even then I still wasn't anywhere near where I am now. But if you ask yourself and the answer is yes, then patience is key. Like I said it takes time and dedication, and a ton of failure. You have to keep going and learn by printing as much as possible, it's the only way. It definitely helps to know the theory and a few little tricks like myself and a few others show on RUclips, but nothing compares to learning by doing in my opinion. Good luck with whatever route you choose 👊🏻
Thanks so much for your videos. They're super helpful! I've found a blank shirt that I like (Next Level 3600), but on the label it says "Do not iron decoration" and also has a "Do not iron" symbol as well. Is it still safe to use the plastisol ink transfer for the neck label? And can you use a regular iron if you don't have access to a heat press?
Nice video. Please am new here about to start this business. I didnt get the first black u printed. Which transfer paper did you use to get white on the black shirt? Thanks
I'm sure you could, but you aren't going to get the best results out of it because you need to apply even heat and pressure for them to be done properly. You can get very cheap heat presses from Amazon and eBay that will make it a lot easier for you
Hey Lee, I love your work and follow you religiously, you're a massive inspiration and soemday hopefully I can setup shop just like you. I wanna ask what transfer vinyl paper you us d? I have an inkjet printer, can I print these neck labels? On what paper though or is it vinyl? I'm using 100% cotton shirts from Bella. I heard you say plastisol? Will this work? Sorry for the spam questions Much love cheers & God bless
In Puerto Rico seems nobody can do this kind of work. Every place I go they tell me that they cannot screen print with such small details (letters). Thanks for the video
Does the percentage of the garment being made include the thread that stitched it together get included or is it just the fabric that constructed the garment
Hey Lee, really enjoy your channel. Shouting you out from Kingston, Jamaica. Did you mention the mesh size you use for the labels? I typically print with plastersol but i want to ensure I do not print through the fabrics. I actually manufacture my products but want to move away from labels to tagless.

Hell ya man!
15:18 'refused to ship to Canada'. I get that all the time. Anyone would think we don't have a trade agreement!
It's insane how much this happens. It's just lazy people who don't want to take the 2 minutes to add some extra information on the shipping label
Thanks for the info man. I'm catching up on the rest of your videos. I Just subbed right now
Thanks a lot, glad the videos help 👊🏻
Totally helpful thanks. Never saw one of those pocket platen used. Note: Whistler/ Canada is best place to ski in N.America
It's definitely a cool method to do these, I love it 👏🏻
That shirt heat press has a platten that is real weird shapped it has a square and then is kind of curved on both sides. I used that to apply transfer tags it doesn’t allow the heated plate to touch the garment if there’s a print on it
.Looks like a Next Level shirt in the video. Bella Canvas has the best shirt and tear away labels

Good stuff. I have good success with WB ink (CG 7) with a 230 screen, soft squeegee and light pressure.
Yup it'll work for some stuff, just not all like plastisol will. Something like a next level triblend is insanely thin and even with plastisol you have to be delicate, waterbased would blast through it in a hurry haha

Thanks!
Can't you see the label on the outside of the shirt using gray on a light White shirt do you reduce your ink with reducer or soft hand
Lee are your neck label templates good to use if you’re doing heat pressing?
Hi what temperature did you use on the hat press machine and what pressure?
What is best printer for neck label and front printing?
what paper did you used in the neck labels
You are the best man

Whitch printer and paper should I use ?
what length did you cut the sleeve pallet to?
what size of neck label is that bro. is there a recommended size?
So when exactly do you need a ca#? The rules arent clear im just trying to create a label for my shirts
Dude!!!!!!!!! Great content
Thanks 🤘🏻
Hey, what are those sweet squeegees you use?
PIZZA IS LIFE!!
What your favorite blank Ts, hoodies?
What is the application you use for the create your logo ?
Can you do the same with baby clothes?
Do you usually do neck labels first or last when printing shirts? and what mesh screens do you use for neck labels?
Always after. 230-280 mesh
my question is can you only edit the neck label templates on illustrator?
Yes and no, it needs to be a vector art software though. Illustrator, Corel draw or affinity designer all work
Hello, could you tell me, where did you buy that template that you show in the minute: 14:04 ?
*Can you use an iron with the plastisol heat transfers? Thanks for the great information*
I'm sure you could, but you aren't going to get the best results out of it because you need to apply even heat and pressure for them to be done properly. You can get very cheap heat presses from Amazon and eBay that will make it a lot easier for you
Hey Lee, I love your work and follow you religiously, you're a massive inspiration and soemday hopefully I can setup shop just like you.
I wanna ask what transfer vinyl paper you us d? I have an inkjet printer, can I print these neck labels? On what paper though or is it vinyl? I'm using 100% cotton shirts from Bella. I heard you say plastisol? Will this work?
Sorry for the spam questions
Much love cheers & God bless
What kind of paper and ink did you use to print the designs ?
Very informative 😎👍👍
In Puerto Rico seems nobody can do this kind of work. Every place I go they tell me that they cannot screen print with such small details (letters). Thanks for the video
It's very easy to do, you can go way smaller with the details no problem
@@leestuart38 Well I don't know what is happen here.
Whats the original brand of shirts do you use for your product lee? All the shirts look clean AF that you use.
For the last method, are you putting those pocket pallets on all 6 of your pallets and doing a full run like that?
Just a single pallet, no need to do all 6. Neck labels are fast to do as singles
Great video btw!
Thanks!
Does the percentage of the garment being made include the thread that stitched it together get included or is it just the fabric that constructed the garment
Just the fabric
Great video.....what size did you cut the pocket slayer down to ?
About half the length that it was. They're definitely way too long
Hey Lee, really enjoy your channel. Shouting you out from Kingston, Jamaica. Did you mention the mesh size you use for the labels? I typically print with plastersol but i want to ensure I do not print through the fabrics. I actually manufacture my products but want to move away from labels to tagless.
Yup the mesh count is mentioned in there. There's time stamps of each topic in the pinned comment I put at the top of the list 👍🏻
Where can i get that secret tool?
So do you need a special printer with the plastisol heat transfers?
They're screen printed
