What you say what do you want us to do about the side tag with the country region and stuff do you want us to tear that off too or he was can leave the side tag on ?
90% of the time those side tags will stay. Commonly they're sewn in and not as easily torn-away like the neck labels and for the majority of them, they do not include a brand name of the manufacturer, only an RN#. By leaving the side tag in (which commonly has the care instructions, fabric content and country of origin) you would not need to include those on the neck label print- You could simplify and just include your brand and the size of the garment. As that information does vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, it's best to confirm the information is present on the shirts you'll be printing on.
Thank you sooo much bro, if i ever get a us visa, I' will definably will go find you and dinner is on me!!! hahahaha this helps me sooo much! Big bear hug !!!
If you are going to use a standard 15x15 press without the specialty platen, you mentioned turning the shirt inside out, but how do you address the decorations on the rest of the shirt? For example: Do you do the chest / back of the shirt first, then the label or vice versa and how do you prevent damaging the first decoration?
Great question! In many cases you can do either decoration first, as the tag print location would be off of the lower platen print area for all front placements. To ensure even pressure with the tag location you can turn the shirt inside out and print before any other decoration. With a layer of t-shirt fabric between the print and the heating element it typically does not get hot enough to damage the first decoration, but I would rather press a tag twice than possibly over apply the exterior design. If you have any issues with the above methods, many decorators have success with the little mini presses like we showed in this video here: ruclips.net/video/XkT_eqmv_5A/видео.html
These platens are designed to be compatible with the Hotronix Quick change system available on any Hotronix 16 x 20 heat press manufactured after 2014. What style heat press do you have? There is a GK version as well.
Great question! We recommend storing transfers away from moisture, humidity and drastic temperature swings- In a climate controlled office is fine. We suggest storing them in the box they came in and put together a great video on some helpful storage tips here: ruclips.net/video/zTAgqUeUsXw/видео.html You can store them in resealable bags with those silica-gel moisture control packs, but in many climates that isn't necessary. In this video we press a 10+ year old transfer that was stored in an office filing cabinet (Heat and AC for all of those years) and it pressed just fine!
Hey Jonathan, you are correct. Legally you are required to label the country of origin. We see a lot of "Printed in the USA / Manufactured in (insert country of origin)"
We try to make it as easy as possible, just upload artwork as it should appear printed and we'll take care of the rest- no mirroring needed! If you're cutting vinyl, you will need to mirror the print before cutting.
As far as we can find with our research, a hang tag (cardboard tag) does not satisfy the requirements for a "Clothing Label" as defined by the FTC (at least here in the United States)
Hi! New to y'all. What king of ink do you recommend for these neck labels or doe sit matter? Goofproof, hot split? Also, for pressing on thicker hoodies/sweats inside out, what ink is bets to press well on the fuzzy inner fleece material?
Hey FilmingYu! Great questions, Good Proof is the answer to all of them. 😋 Goof Proof is my #1 pick for inside tags. At that smaller inside tag size it will be identical in softness (hand feel) to hot split and it's much easier to press. (Hot Split and Goof Proof are the same inks, Goof proof has an added adhesive powder that makes it much more versatile to apply) The same applies to the inside of fleece garments - Goof Proof holds down the fleece material and stays together, so it's still readable and not thick or scratchy (when someone is wearing it). With those soft fleece fabrics, you're typically looking at 50/50 cotton/poly blends or a polyester dominant fabric that may be more heat sensitive. Goof Proof can apply as low as 325 degrees- Hot Split requires 360 degrees at the absolute minimum so it may lead to some scorching on that fabric. While not inside tags, we did put a video together comparing Goof Proof and Hot Split here: ruclips.net/video/Sp0HYUS5vpQ/видео.html
@@transferexpress Would you recommend the Goof Proof or Hot Split for a clean print on a 15" (cotton canvas") tote bag? Which one would last longer too as bags get thrown around a lot?
That's a tough question! It's best to avoid relabeling t-shirt styles that have those printed inside labels. Many wholesale brands and styles all include tear away labels so you can quickly and easily print your own. That being said, there are ways to print over or remove inside tag prints: 1. Print your inside label over the existing print. Design your print to be full ink coverage that is larger than the existing inside print, then print over. This works on almost all kinds of tag prints: screen print, direct to garment digital prints and even heat transfer labels. 2. Try to remove the print (depends on how its printed) but in some cases you can apply htv remover and/or heat to remove those inside tag prints. I wouldn't recommend this option as it's time consuming with the small detail and can leave adhesive marks on the fabric. For screen printed inside tags it would be almost impossible to remove.
We don't recommend ironing on the design. If you do have to reapply heat to the decorated area for any reason, you should cover it with a cover sheet or piece of paper and take caution to not over cure the inks.
While very rare to have multiple countries of origin, you would have to mention both. Typically it's the location of where the garment is manufactured. For example: "Made in the USA from imported materials"
😁Thanks for the video - Those side seem labels that manufacturers surge into garments suck. I'm having to cut them out and sew my own labels in them... I wish their brand name or info wasnt on the garments unless they could be tear away 😢 that label is tear away side seem needs work done!
FOR REAL! We're 100% behind you on this one. Port & Company's side (or bottom hem) labels are nice to remember what garment style you used (and tear away pretty nice)... and when the side seam tags don't have company info on them but still care instructions or fabric content, it's sweet, but they are SEWN in there. Logos or company names on the left side tags need to go!
@@transferexpress I love this reply lol 😆 😂 🤣 I so agree, like company...work with me here! Help me cut some costs, and avoid buying custom labels, shredding time sewing them... and I'll gladly continue to buy your Company 😁👍🏾
Transfer Express - why not just remove the comfort colors default label and put your own company logo with the required details? It looks tacky having two different brands on the same t-shirt IMO. I know comfort colors doesn't have a tear away label but its very easy to cut out the woven label and add your own.
Great point Freddy, we were just emulating what we've seen other decorators and small business owners do here in this video... Some brands like to highlight the Comfort Colors Blanks. These twill labels do either need to be cut or seam ripped/restitched to remove cleanly, which can be time consuming. We've found the Port and Company PC099 excellent for a similar, garment dyed heavyweight tshirt that does have a tear-away label.
@transferexpress the problem is finding enough live mockups if you're trying to build a lifestyle brand. Without enough varied mockups of people wearing the actual shirt doing something outside it becomes a challenge. Because then you have to buy a camera, hire models or have friends (lol) to model your shirts. Etc.
