Now that the new year is here, and you’ve put some thought into what you hope to achieve in the coming months, it’s time to plan out how to reach your goals and turn a profit. There are a number of products that can help you do that, and while you may know about them, you may not be using them to their full potential.
Cutting Machines– Cutting machines are perfect for cutting designs out of heat transfer or adhesive vinyl.You can find images on the internet, purchase images, or even design your own. Pro World’s digital design software can also help speed up the creation process for monograms, rhinestones, and sport themed items. Learn more about the software and its capabilities on our website.
Sublimation– Take your custom designs to the next level with sublimation. Sublimation gives you the ability to adhere printed photos and images onto a number of different items including mugs, phone cases, frames, license plates, and tags. Think about all of the personalized services you can offer!
Heat Transfers- Heat transfers allow you to create wearable and other items quickly. You can customize shirts, bibs, bags, canvas boxes, etc. Choose from thousands of heat transfers in our library or create a custom transfer at pwcustom.com. Think of the possibilities for your own business needs, as well as the needs of your customers.
Think about each product and how it can help you expand your business and customer base. How can each item help you to reach your 2017 business goals? What will you accomplish this year?
Now that the holidays are behind us you can take a break from filling your custom orders and treat yourself to something nice. For today’s post, we will show you how to make a personalized pillow that will look great in your house and provide you with the perfect excuse to kick up your feet!
You Need:
Start by opening your design program and adding a blank shape. We used a heart.
Add all of the names individually, and move them around the pillow until the image is filled.
Now you need to delete the outside shape (if you are using Silhouette Studio you will need to make a compound path, delete the heart, and release compound path)
Next, you should mirror your image, and insert your heat transfer vinyl into your machine, double check your settings and click cut!
Now weed your design. Place it on your empty blank and press it with your Heat Press.
Insert your pillow form into the pillow case and you are done!
With the start of the new year just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get yourself set up for a productive 2017. Have you brainstormed your personal and professional goals yet? Are you hoping to start or expand a business? When you think about the coming year- what does it look like? Take some time to think about these questions and then take some time to make today’s project.
We thought it would be fun to create an inspirational notebook to have a reminder of what we are working towards throughout the year.
You Need
Creating your own motivational notebook is easy! Take a plain notebook and design your quote using your favorite font.

Go grab a pen, because you are done!
View & Add CommentsSo by now, you probably already know that we offer custom transfers. But did you know that there are many different ways to use custom transfers to make money for your business?
First, let’s talk about the obvious answer here… t-shirts. Everyone wears t-shirts. Everyone needs t-shirts. Below we have compiled a list of some of the different events/groups of people that maybe you haven’t thought of… where there is money to be made!
-Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts
-Businesses (Landscaping, Plumbing, etc)
-Bars/Restaurants/Pizza Shops
-Church Groups/Organizations
-Festivals, Car Shows
-Family Reunion
-Hair Salon/Barber Shop
-Fundraisers (Cancer Walks, etc)
-Labels/Tags for garments
-Resorts (Hotels, Camping, etc)
-Tourist Locations
-Staff/Security Shirts
-Sports Competitions (Cheerleading, Wrestling, etc)

On top of creating a variety of t-shirts for your customer’s needs, you can also branch off and start up your own t-shirt line, with a few of your own unique graphics that can appeal to a wide range of customers. The best part about transfers is that you don’t have to have a stockpile of already-made shirts and hoping that they sell. We recommend having a bunch of different color garments, in different styles and sizes – that way you can press a transfer to whichever one your customer chooses.
The possibilities really are endless! Create custom koozies for a wedding, or a bachelor party. Make custom hats and tote bags for a fundraiser. Our custom transfers can be applied to many materials including towels, sweatshirts, hoodies, denim, and more! Step outside of the box and get creative to make the most of custom transfers.
