Share process constraints
Describe the press, usable platen area, common blank fabrics, and difficult placements such as seams or pockets. Ask for a transfer sample sized to a real job rather than a generic swatch.

Print Shops: Specify Transfers for Your Workflow
Prepare transfer purchasing briefs around your blanks, equipment, application tests, and customer approvals.
Buyer perspective
A print shop usually owns the last critical step: applying decoration to its customer's garment. That makes transfer sourcing different from buying a finished shirt. The shop needs a motif that fits its blanks and equipment, and a sample procedure it can repeat when customer orders return.
What to decide
Build a brief that can be tested
Separate art from application
Approve the stone layout, color, and physical dimensions first; then validate application on the shop's exact substrate. Keep the approved press record and finished sample together. One does not substitute for the other.
Plan customer sign-off
Show the customer the decorated garment or a clearly documented sample. Record placement and care instructions against the job code so a repeat order follows the same process.
Specification
Record the decorator's production envelope
A print shop can only quote a reliable transfer job when artwork, substrate, and equipment constraints are measured together.
- Transfer envelope
- Record total width, height, orientation, and any fine details that need physical-size approval.
- Press envelope
- Record usable platen area and obstructions created by seams, pockets, or garment hardware.
- Placement envelope
- Record distances from stable landmarks for every blank style and size range used in the job.
Tie the measurement sheet to the decorated sample and customer sign-off; a saved art file does not contain the entire production method.
