Summer is winding down and Fall will be here before you know it. Why not DIY some Fall trends for your wardrobe and your home? You can keep up with the current styles with one of a kind pieces while keeping your costs down.

1 – Pops of color and bold, graphic patterns are big for Fall. Personalize a bright colored tray for some contrast to your daily decor, or use sublimation or HTV to create patterned pieces to liven up your space. A bit of plaid will also add some coziness to your home for Fall.

2 – Gallery walls are a great way to create a focal wall in your home while showing off your loved ones and personal style. Frame a favorite saying, your last name, or important dates among the images. Using your cutting machine and assorted vinyl, you can compliment your home’s color scheme, or choose to mix in bright colors, which is another home trend for the Fall season.

3 – Floral patterns are a continuing trend for the Fall, but in deeper hues. Instead of the typical burnt oranges and burgundies, deep blues, purples, and pinks will be big for clothing. Thanks to custom heat transfers, sublimation, and heat transfer vinyl in a number of finishes, you can create a number of clothing items to stay on trend this fall.

Can you believe that Summer is almost over and students are getting ready to head back to school in some states? That makes now a great time to start prepping for the start of the school year and Fall Sports. And while you’re getting things going for your little athletes and their teammates, or your customers, don’t forget about gear for their support systems!

With so many different types of vinyl available, it can be hard to know which is best for a specific project/product. Football jersey’s take a beating wear after wear and get washed often. For these, we recommend Cadflex. This vinyl is a bit thicker and works well on mesh jerseys. It also comes on a non-stick carrier sheet so you can cut the names/numbers for the jerseys, weed them at your convenience, and stack them until you’re ready to use them.

For intramural sports or club teams using cotton or polyester shirts, we recommend Siser EasyWeed . It comes in a number of colors and sizes and wears and washes well.

Cinch bags are great for carrying all of the necessities to and from practice and games. They’re also a great fundraiser idea for sports teams or schools! Use Siser EasyWeed Extra or Thermoflex xtra vinyl to add the school’s name or mascot.

Are you looking for a bulk supply of custom transfers  to support your school’s football team? Do you need a custom logo for your cheerleaders to sport at competition? We can create a custom transfer with your school logo and a particular sport. The options are endless.

Do you want to show your support for your favorite teams and athletes as you drive around town with car decals? FDC Ultra High Gloss  or Metallic give a nice glitter look and work well on car windows. FDC Premium is a great option for the side of the car.  Oracal Vinyl can be substituted for the FDC.

We also carry an extensive selection of stock transfers. We find that our selection of transfers in support of breast cancer awareness are very popular during September and October as teams and schools prepare for breast cancer awareness month and fundraisers. These transfers can be placed on shirts and then the schools name or a specific athlete’s name can then be added as well.

Along with our extensive line of pre-designed heat transfers, vinyl, and equipment, we also offer custom heat transfers through PW Custom. Custom heat transfers are a great way to expand your business and increase your profit margin.

One of the most popular things to use custom heat transfers on are t-shirts. They come in many different styles and colors and they appeal to everyone. Think outside the box here on who may need custom shirts. Think about local small businesses, fundraisers, school groups, family reunions, wedding parties, etc.

On top of creating a variety of t-shirts that suit your customer’s needs, you can also branch off and start a t-shirt line with a few of your own unique graphics. The best part about custom transfers is that instead of hoping a large quantity of pre-made shirts sell, you can quickly make exactly what your customer wants by having a variety of different color garments, in different styles and sizes – on hand.

The possibilities really are endless and are not limited to just t-shirts. You can create custom koozies for a wedding or bachelor/bachelorette parties. What about custom hats and tote bags for a family reunion or school fundraiser? Our custom heat transfers can be applied to many different things including towels, sweatshirts, denim, and more!

2 – Custom Transfers: You can also create or have us create custom transfers which are great when you need a one of a kind design in bulk, like for teams, family reunions, graduations, etc.

3 – Heat Transfer Vinyl: With our extensive collection of heat transfer vinyl in various sizes and colors your heat press will be working overtime. Use it to press your designs or sayings onto t-shirts, onesies, bibs, aprons, bags, etc. Heat transfer vinyl can be used on any material you can safely iron. We also have a variety of textures and patterns to give your apparel a one of a kind look. We carry Strip Flock, EasyWeed, Glitter, Holographic, Mirror, Fluorescent, and more.

4 – Sublimation Printing: Sublimation printing allows you to create customized and personalized full color products on demand. When sublimation inks are heated to 400°F, they turn into a gas and form a permanent bond to 100% white or light color polyester fabric or items that have a polymer coating. The result is a premium full-color, photographic-quality image that will not crack, peel or wash away from the substrate. It allows you to print on mugs, phone cases, frames, license plates, tags, and more.
