Can I order DTF transfers for just two new hires?

Yes. Standard DTF transfers have no minimum order, so two is a valid order. Two 4 by 4 chest logos are 16 square inches each at $0.06, so $1.92 total. Small orders sit under the $99 free shipping threshold, so either pay shipping, add to the order, or pick up in Huntington.

Will a chest logo survive a commercial linen service?

Applied to spec, yes: 50 or more commercial wash cycles at 104F. Spec is 300 to 325 F for cotton, 285 to 300 F for polyester, 10 to 15 seconds, medium-firm pressure. Under-pressing is the usual cause of early edge lift on aprons, because the pocket seam holds the platen off the panel.

If I order Monday afternoon, when does it get to Coram?

Order by 3 PM Eastern Monday and it is printed, inspected, packed and handed to the carrier that same Monday. Transit is separate: 2 to 5 business days standard, 1 to 3 expedited. Same day shipping is not same day delivery. If you need it sooner, pick up in Huntington by appointment or check the $19.99 local courier option at checkout, available for eligible Long Island addresses.

Is a gang sheet cheaper than individual transfers for 20 chest logos?

Not automatically. Gang sheets are priced on sheet area, so you pay for the gaps. Eighteen 3.5 inch logos fill a 14 by 24 sheet at $20.16, about $1.12 each. The same 18 as individual bounding boxes is $13.23, plus $0.29 each if you want them pre-cut. Gang sheets win when your art fills the width and when you want one piece to handle instead of twenty.

My logo is a JPG from the menu designer. Can you print it?

We need a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background at final print size. A JPG carries a white box behind the mark and that box prints as white ink. Run it through the free background knockout tool on the site, check the edges at full size, then price it in the per square inch calculator before you upload.

DTF Transfers for Coram Restaurants, Bars and Cafes

Staff apparel for a restaurant, bar or cafe is a small, repeating print job: a chest logo on aprons, a role name on polos, a back hit on the closing crew's tees. Long Island DTF Printing prints those transfers at $0.06 per square inch with no minimum, ships from Huntington, and serves Coram and the rest of the Town of Brookhaven.

What a front-of-house order actually costs

Front-of-house orders cluster around a few sizes. A 3.5 by 3.5 inch left chest logo is 12.25 square inches, so $0.74 per transfer. Go to 4 by 4 and it is 16 square inches, $0.96. A 6 by 6 apron bib panel is 36 square inches, $2.16. A full 11 by 14 back hit for closing crew or merch tees is 154 square inches, $9.24. A 3 by 1 inch name or role strip is 3 square inches, $0.18. Twenty two-location shirts with a 4 by 4 chest and an 11 by 14 back come to $204.00, which clears the $99 free shipping threshold on its own.

Gang sheet or cut singles: run the numbers first

A 14 by 24 gang sheet is $20.16, and you pay for the sheet, not the artwork on it. With the 0.25 inch minimum spacing, a 3.5 inch logo fits three across (10.5 inches of art plus 0.5 inches of gap) and six rows down, so 18 logos for $20.16, or $1.12 each. The same 18 as individually priced bounding boxes is $13.23. The gang sheet costs you the whitespace. What it buys back is that you trim them yourself instead of adding contour cutting at $0.29 per transfer, and you handle one sheet instead of 18 pieces. For mixed art, a 14 by 36 at $30.24 holds 27 of those logos plus whatever you drop in the margins.

Hire on Tuesday, press on Tuesday night

Restaurant staffing does not run on purchase order cycles. You hire two people on a Tuesday and you need two chest logos, not a box of 144. Standard DTF transfers have no minimum, so order exactly two. Place it by 3 PM Eastern on a business day and it is printed, inspected, packed and handed to the carrier that same business day. That is the standard service on every order, not a rush fee. After 3 PM, or on a weekend or federal holiday, it ships the next business day. Production runs Monday to Friday. The practical pattern: keep blank aprons and polos on the shelf, order transfers as you hire, press on the new person's first shift.

Pressing blends and canvas aprons without cooking them

Staff apparel is rarely one fabric. Cotton tees and canvas aprons take 300 to 325 F. Polyester and performance polos take 285 to 300 F, because higher risks scorching and dye migration. Both run 10 to 15 seconds at medium-firm pressure. Aprons are the awkward one: bib pockets, seams and ties leave the chest panel sitting on an uneven base, so drop in a press pillow to lift the print area above the seam. Applied to spec, the transfer holds 50 or more commercial wash cycles at 104F, which matters when aprons go out to a linen service weekly rather than into a home machine.

Past the apron: tumblers, growlers and window glass

The same logo file goes on more than fabric. UV DTF transfers are $0.10 per square inch and apply to hard, smooth surfaces by hand pressure, no heat press needed. A 3 by 4 inch wrap for a 16 ounce tumbler is 12 square inches, $1.20 a piece. Menu boards, growlers, condiment caddies and service trays take them too, and UV DTF gang sheets run 24 inches wide. Die-cut vinyl stickers are $0.22 per square inch, so a 3 by 3 to-go bag seal is $1.98. Fauxbroidery DTF gives a polo an embroidered look with no digitizing charge, and raised UV patches at $0.65 per square inch suit a chef coat. Watch the timing on those two: fauxbroidery and raised UV patches are 48 hours, not same day.

Three ways an order reaches Coram

Coram sits in the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, so all three options are open. Ship it: free on orders $99 and up in the contiguous US, 2 to 5 business days standard or 1 to 3 expedited, which is transit time on top of the same business day handoff to the carrier. Pick it up: 205 E Main St, Ste 2-1 in Huntington does same business day pickup after production, by appointment. Or use the $19.99 flat-rate local courier option, which appears at checkout for eligible Long Island addresses. Huntington is our only location, so there is no drop-off point in Coram itself. Questions on any of it, call 631-458-3842 or email our order desk.

Who orders from Coram

Full-service restaurants

Chest logos on server aprons and back-of-house tees, plus a larger back hit for closing crew. Two-location shirts at 4 by 4 and 11 by 14 run $10.20 in transfers per shirt before blanks.

Bars and taprooms

Staff tees plus UV DTF on glassware, tap handles and cooler doors at $0.10 per square inch. Merch tees for the back bar use the same file, printed at full size on a gang sheet.

Cafes and coffee shops

Small runs, frequent changes. A 3.5 by 3.5 apron logo is $0.74 per transfer and there is no minimum, so a seasonal drink promo tee can be a run of six rather than a run of seventy-two.

Caterers and food trucks

Crew shirts that change with the season and the schedule. Order by 3 PM Eastern for a same business day carrier handoff, or pick up in Huntington the same day if an event moved up.
