Transfer Printing & Cad Cut Vinyl Printing

Transfer Printing and Cad Cut Vinyl Printing are great for short runs and full colour images, or individual names and numbers for Stag Nights or Hen Do's or sports teams. Great for Bespoke individual customation of tshirts and clothing. It's also cheaper on short runs than Direct to Garment Printing and so is great if you are on a budget and the garments are for Promotional Clothing purposes.

Cad Cut Vinyl is best understood if you think about football players names and numbers. Single solid coloured vinyl cut to shape - highly durable and stretchy materials. We love this method.

Your image is printed onto specialist Transfer Material and/or cut out from specialist vinyl using our Cad Cutting Machines. It is then placed in the correct position on the garment and heat pressed using special heat press machinery, this is also known as heat transfer printing.
