Hey friends, as the weather gets colder and the fall and winter here of course we start thinking
about those holidays, but as apparel decorators what we really should be thinking about are those
winter sports and accompanying spirit wear now i'm talking from high school college and pro there's
tons of sports action that heats up right here in the winter time and today i want to show you
just how easy it is to print the wide variety of transfers with just a heat press everything from
jerseys to warm up gear and even spirit wear for the fans too so are you ready let's get started
if you're new to transfer express we do custom screen printed and digital heat transfers
heat presses designs apparel and advice to help grow your t-shirt business if you haven't already
make sure you subscribe to our transfer express youtube channel we are kicking out new helpful
videos like this one every single week with any athletic program and any sport there is a
wide variety of apparel needed for any season i'm talking from workout and team gear to on the court
jerseys and even spirit wear there for the fans so you could decorate it all with just your heat
press at your home or your business so to really kick this thing off here i want to show you some
super simple applications on a basketball jersey and then we're also going to cover some of the
different transfer types that we have here at transfer express and what they apply on as well
as i want to try to inspire some profit-packed business opportunities for you and your t-shirt
business now first off here i want to show you how easy it is to decorate a basketball jersey
now it's not just limited to jerseys because of course you want to pair the matching shorts to
it too while some schools and programs don't have any personalization on the shorts like a number
or even a logo some do and that's a perfect add-on opportunity for you to use with our gang sheet
transfers so here we have one of our alasta prince transfers and this has our full front uh center
logo for the jersey and then we could use all of these wildcats here down at the bottom or the
smaller logo to put onto the shorts now because these are our elastoprince transfers they are
designed for 100 polyester now of course you could also put these same transfers on fan wear too
so you could really get the best bang for your buck by putting a whole bunch onto a gang sheet
and sending it on out so with just one example of a basketball jersey here look we've got our alasta
prince logo here and one other thing that i want to talk about before we actually get to applying
anything is our stock numbers and express names now they do come in a wide variety of different
font styles and colors that you could choose that's perfectly matched to any of our standard
ink colors should you choose to use them now with the names they are as low as a block 80 a piece
which just makes personalization a breeze and you don't have to worry about any weeding or buying a
cutter to apply yourself they apply with the same inks that are on the front hand side so everything
matches perfectly now those are available on transferexpress.com in our individual names
and numbers section and there if you have a full team you could upload a csv or a text file and let
us know everybody who's on the team to make sure the names are correct before they're sent to you
or you can manually go in and input each individual name so for our basketball jersey here
we will be printing on this 100 polyester jersey now this does say that there is a spandex content
in here but it's just in these inserts into the sides to give it a little bit of extra
stretch we don't have to worry about that because we'll just be printing on this 100
polyester face we'll go ahead and just cut our main graphic out of the sheet
i'm also going to cut this here just to even it up now that we're back here at the heat press we'll
go ahead and open up our jersey and slide it right onto the lower platen of course right here we are
using the hotronix 16x20 auto open clamshell press just one of my absolute favorites we'll
want to look down the sides to make sure here that we are aligned perfectly centered on the platen
now because this is polyester we're going to want to make sure that we're
not going to scorch it with a high heat so go ahead and pre-press this at 290 degrees
darker colored polyesters tend to be a little bit more heat sensitive than the lighter colors i
think we're going to be a-okay at 290 degrees here so go ahead and pre-press this for five seconds
and we always pre-press our garments to remove any moisture and wrinkles from the fabric
itself now we'll go ahead and grab our transfer that i was talking about and cut off of our gang
sheet earlier we'll go ahead and lay this one down right here on the garment now depending on
if you're putting numbers on the front as well you want to keep this a little bit higher if you're
putting numbers lower or a little bit lower if you're putting numbers higher up here we're just
going to do about the standard three finger down from the top of the collar just to show you how
easy these elasto prince transfers apply now at last to prince apply at 290 degrees for 15 seconds
now once the press opens we're not going to peel it we'll go ahead and
remove our jersey from the heat press and lay it on down so it could cool
and once it feels nice and cool we'll go ahead and remove the carrier sheet now we're going to
do that just by starting right here at one corner and peel it all the way off and there you have it
a beautiful screen printed jersey and we talked about gang sheets and how you could build
profit in your project and minimize the print cost but i want to show you an example of a
basketball jersey and matching shorts that take advantage of the express names the stock numbers
even our flag packs and our alaska print transfers like you saw us print earlier now this jersey
of course has the alaska prince graphic that we printed on our jersey here today coupled with some
large stock numbers from transferexpress.com on the back hand side we have one of our flag
packs that are available in both united states forward and reverse if they were to be included on
a sleeve and also the canadian flag right here we have our express names and of course another stock
number now the stock numbers do come in quite a few different sizes so that you could have numbers
here on the front of the jersey and also matching numbers on the shorts as well now these shorts not
only do they use the stock numbers but they also use one of the smaller prints that we had included
on the elastoprince gang sheet and that allows us to decorate these shorts at no added print cost
just your time to apply and as you saw the elasto prints apply nice and quick and super easy
now as i mentioned earlier there's quite a few different sizes of the stock numbers
available at transferexpress.com and this hockey jersey is an awesome example of how to use them
so here large numbers on the back for the jersey and matching numbers here on the sleeves but in
the smaller four inch size so for a hockey jersey you're going to have decoration on both sleeves
we have one of our absolutely awesome full color cad express prints right here on the front
now we use an express print here because of the full color logo and also the super low
application temperature of this heat sensitive hockey jersey now this applies at 250 degrees
and looks absolutely awesome on the garment now coming from the express prints a wonderful
decoration method that we did mention is ultra color ultra color soft is going to apply on cotton
polyester and cotton poly blends and allow you to do limitless color and detail as well while also
showing through to the garment like this now one style we've seen rise in popularity in the past
few years are reversible jerseys so here we would have the home style on the front name number on
the back and a logo and all you have to do is go ahead and turn it inside out and you have an
away jersey ready to go now you can't forget about the fans or coaches either we're talking polos and
any coach apparel or the fan wear for the moms and dads and happy parents out there
in the stands cheering on those youngsters but that's all that we've got for you here today i
want to thank you so much for watching but from jerseys to fanwear it's just so profitable and
easy to use custom transfers for that decoration and personalization that i showed you here today
