At Creative Apparel we take the hassle out of ordering printed clothes and make the process of ordering as simple as possible. We have a range of methods of creating printed clothes to your exact requirements at affordable prices.


For printed clothing we are able to offer a number of methods:

Transfer Printing

This involves taking a high resolution image and printing the image onto commercial quality transfer paper. We can print images in most formats including BMP,TIF, GIF, AI, Jpeg. The quality of the image produced is directly related to the quality of the image supplied so it is important to supply a quality images. Once the image is on the transfer paper it is then taken and applied using a commercial heat press and silicone release paper to the item of clothing.

Transfer printing is a fast, low cost way of producing small quantities of printed t-shirts or printed clothing.

Cad Cut Printing (Also known as Vinyl Cut)

Firstly the logo or text need to have an outline added. This is done using Adobe Illustrator. The design is then input direct into a digital cutter which electronically cuts the design on to a single colour sheet of flock, foil or vinyl. The uncut areas are then removed by hand. This process is known as “weeding”. The cut panels are then taken and are applied using a commercial heat press and silicone paper.
