These prices apply to straightforward designs supplied as suitable, print-ready artwork. More complicated logos, additional print colours or artwork that needs redrawing will be quoted separately.
What is included in the price?
The quoted price includes the garment, a small print on the chest and a larger print on the back.
For example, a typical small-business order could include a company logo on the front and the business name, telephone number or service description on the back.
Garments are ordered specifically for each job rather than held permanently in stock. Sign Art currently uses Gildan and Fruit of the Loom garments in sizes from small to XXL.
Available garment and vinyl colours can be confirmed before the order is placed.
Can different garments be mixed in one order?
Yes. The minimum quantity is three garments, but they can be mixed within the same order.
Small Businesses in Newton Abbot and Teignmouth could order one hoodie, one polo shirt and one t-shirt. This is useful for tradespeople and small businesses that need different garments for different working conditions without buying unnecessary quantities.
What can increase the cost?
The main factors that can increase the cost are additional print colours, intricate artwork and logo redrawing.
Heat transfer vinyl is cut and prepared one colour at a time. A simple one or two-colour design is normally straightforward, while a logo containing four or five colours takes considerably more preparation and can make the finished print feel heavier.
Very small lettering, fine lines and complicated shapes may also need to be enlarged or simplified before cutting.
If the only available artwork is a low-resolution JPEG or PNG, the logo may need to be redrawn. Logo redrawing is chargeable, but the cost will be explained and agreed before any artwork is started.
What is the most common problem with a workwear order?
Unsuitable artwork is one of the most common causes of delay.
A clear vector file is best because it can be enlarged without losing quality. Suitable formats normally include AI, EPS, SVG and some PDF files.
A JPEG or PNG taken from a website, business card or photograph may not contain enough detail to reproduce the logo cleanly. Sign Art checks the supplied file before quoting and will explain if it needs improving or redrawing.
When is heat transfer vinyl suitable?
Heat transfer vinyl works particularly well for solid-colour logos, company names, telephone numbers and clear lettering.
It is a practical choice for:
Tradespeople ordering workwear for Small Businesses in Newton Abbot and Teignmouth Shops and cafés wanting matching staff clothing Businesses using a simple logo in one or two colours Orders of only a few garments
Each design is cut from coloured vinyl, the unwanted material is removed by hand and the finished design is bonded to the garment using controlled heat and pressure.
This produces clean lettering and strong, solid colours without the set-up needed for some larger-volume printing methods.
When might another printing method cost less?
Screen printing can become more economical when the required quantity is much larger.
Vinyl designs are cut, weeded and pressed individually, so the unit cost does not reduce dramatically as the order grows. Screen printing involves an initial set-up cost, but that cost is spread across the order when many identical garments are required.
For three or four garments, heat transfer vinyl can be a sensible option. For a much larger order, it is worth comparing the available printing methods before proceeding.
What designs are unsuitable for vinyl printing?
Photographs, extremely fine details and logos containing many colours are not normally suitable for standard heat transfer vinyl.
Very small lettering creates tiny pieces of vinyl that are difficult to prepare and are less suitable for hard-wearing clothing. Fine lines and complicated shapes can cause similar problems.
The design can often be made printable by enlarging the lettering, removing unnecessary detail or simplifying the number of colours.
How long does a small workwear order take?
The normal turnaround is up to one week from approval of the artwork.
The turnaround begins after the design, garment choices, quantities and sizes have been confirmed. Because garments are ordered specifically for each job, their availability can also affect completion time.
Small orders can sometimes be completed sooner, depending on garment availability and the work already booked into the workshop.
How should vinyl-printed workwear be washed?
Correct washing and drying will help protect the print and extend the usable life of the garment.
For the best results:
Turn the garment inside out before washing Wash at 30 to 40°C Do not tumble dry Do not iron directly over the print
Frequent hot washing and tumble drying can shorten the life of a heat-applied design.
