Not sure where to put this, so clothing it is, lol

How would you go about putting the names in the numbers for a leavers hoody please?

And would this really work with vinyl, or is screenprinting better for it?

Just got a couple of ideas going round my head.

Thanks

I've got an enquiry from a school in Munich of all places ( still not sure about the validity of it ) for leavers hoodies. I'm going to use subli-flock for the numbers with the names printed in

But how will you make all the names fit the numbers? Especially with it being 11? 10 would've been easy due to the size of the 0

Trial & Error :)

The enquiry I have is only 30 names :)

That would be OK, but the school(s) I'm going to target have over 200 pupils per year group :O

Would have to be small font. Must be feasible though given the number of companies who do it.

I know how much the local school got charged last year, and I'm sure I can do them cheaper, and still make a decent profit on them ;-)

I'd need to outsource that Paul as I don't do screenprinting :(

Tried this and targeted a few schools then found out what competitors were charging, wouldn't even dirty a screen for it. Its normally sorted out by the peeps that do the school embroidery so check with them 1st.

Done hoodies in the past using flock and robo then simply use heat press to apply.

the best option is to screenprint these, these can be a real pain to set up design wise tho.. using a san serif font will help when printing and nothing too bold or too thin..lol.. using Illustrator will give you the best options when designing the logo.. also if you can get them to print on light coloured hoodies this is going to help you more than anything as there is only one print and no flash cure eliminating any 'double/ghosting' print that could occur, especially with small names!..

That's another reason why I tend to stay away from dark garments - its easier on t'shirts but hoodies/sweatshirts etc do move a little on the platen and a few double images and there goes the profit.

That reminds me, forgot to order some t-fix / spray mount today - bu66er!
