What does it cost to put my barbershop logo on six staff shirts?

Standard DTF is $0.06 per square inch of bounding box. A 4 by 4 inch left chest is 16 square inches, $0.96 each, so six shirts is $5.76 in transfers. Add a 10 by 12 inch back at $7.20 each and the six shirt set is $48.96. There is no minimum, so you can order two first and check the press.

My salon logo is only a JPG with a white background. Can you print it?

Yes, once the background is knocked out. Use the free browser based background knockout tool on the site, then export a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background at final print size. A white background left in the file prints as white ink, which shows up as a solid box around your mark on a black tee.

Will a transfer survive on a polyester barber smock that gets washed constantly?

Press polyester at 285 to 300 F for 10 to 15 seconds with medium firm pressure, which is cooler than the 300 to 325 F cotton band. Applied to that spec, a transfer is rated for 50 or more commercial wash cycles at 104 F. Coated nylon capes are a separate question: we have no press spec for them, so test one first.

If I order Monday morning from East Meadow, when will the shirts be ready to sell?

If the file is in by 3 PM Eastern on a business day, the order is handed to the carrier that same day. Transit is separate: 2 to 5 business days standard, 1 to 3 expedited. A Monday morning order lands later that week, not Monday. Pickup in Huntington is same business day after production, by appointment.

Can I get raised patches or leatherette patches for aprons and hats same day?

No. Those are the exceptions to same day, because the cure and build stages add time. Raised UV patches, dimensional UV graphics and fauxbroidery run 48 hours. Leatherette patches and puff DTF run 72 hours, with a 10 piece minimum per shape and color on leatherette. Standard DTF, UV DTF and gang sheets ship same day.

DTF Transfers for East Meadow Salons, Barbers and Tattoo Studios

East Meadow salons, barbershops and tattoo studios order in small, frequent runs: six staff shirts, a dozen retail tees. Standard DTF transfers are $0.06 per square inch with no minimum, and anything placed by 3 PM Eastern on a business day is handed to the carrier that same business day. Transit is separate, so plan the calendar backwards from the date you want them on the rack.

Order DTF Transfers Price It First

What a six chair shop actually pays per shirt

Standard DTF is $0.06 per square inch of the design's bounding box, so you can price a run before you commit to it. A 4 by 4 inch left chest logo is 16 square inches: $0.96. A 10 by 12 inch back piece is 120 square inches: $7.20. Six staff shirts carrying both placements is $48.96 in transfers. A 2 by 11 inch sleeve mark adds $1.32. There is no minimum on standard DTF, so a two artist studio testing a new flash design orders two, not twelve. Bounding box means the full rectangle around the art, so a wide script mark with tall ascenders bills on its whole height, empty space included.

Your logo is a JPG from a sign shop. Start there.

Most shops in this trade have a logo that exists as a flat JPG on a window, a card or a phone. DTF needs a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background, sized at final print size. The browser based background knockout tool on the site strips a white or solid background without Photoshop, and the pricing calculator tells you what the result costs at 4 inches wide before you upload anything. If the mark has a thin script or a fine outline, scale it to print size and look at it at 100 percent first. A white underbase means dark shirts print clean, but hairlines can still break up.

Gang sheets are not a discount, they are a packing problem

A 14 by 36 gang sheet is $30.24 for 504 square inches. Sheets are 14 inches wide with a 0.25 inch minimum gap between designs. Four 3.5 inch logos will not fit across: 3.5 times four is 14 before you add 0.75 inches of gaps. Three across and nine down gives 27 logos. Sheet area bills at the same $0.06, so you pay for the gaps as well as the art, which means a sheet is never cheaper than ordering the same repeats a la carte. Use one when the sizes stop matching: one 11 by 14 back, four chest marks and a pile of 2 inch sleeve hits in a single file. The auto build packer does the fitting.

Smocks, aprons and poly polos press cooler than cotton tees

Press cotton at 300 to 325 F. Press polyester at 285 to 300 F. Both at 10 to 15 seconds with medium firm pressure. That lower band matters in this trade, because barber smocks, stretch stylist shirts and performance polos are usually polyester or a blend, and the setting that is right for a cotton retail tee will scorch them. Applied to spec, a transfer holds 50 or more commercial wash cycles at 104 F, which is the point for a garment that goes through the machine several times a week. Two substrates to test before committing a run: coated nylon capes, which we have no press spec for, and terry towels, where the pile keeps the film off a flat surface.

The 3 PM cutoff against a shop that opens late

Same day shipping is the standard service here, not an upgrade and not a fee. An order placed by 3 PM Eastern on a business day is printed, inspected, packed and handed to the carrier that same business day. Production runs Monday to Friday. Send the file before you open rather than after you close: a 4 PM Friday order ships Monday. Standard DTF, UV DTF and gang sheets all run on that clock. Specialty UV work does not, because the cure and build stages are additive. Raised UV patches, dimensional UV graphics and fauxbroidery are 48 hours. Leatherette patches and puff DTF are 72 hours, and leatherette carries a 10 piece minimum per shape and color.

Three ways an East Meadow shop takes delivery

Shipping is free on orders of $99 and up in the contiguous US, with standard transit of 2 to 5 business days and expedited at 1 to 3. Same day shipping is not same day delivery: the carrier still needs its days, so count back from the date you want shirts on the rack. A $19.99 flat rate local courier option appears at checkout for eligible Long Island addresses. Pickup is available the same business day after production, by appointment, at 205 E Main St, Ste 2-1, Huntington, NY 11743. That is our only location, and it is where every Nassau County order is printed. Questions on a run go to 631-458-3842.

Who orders from East Meadow

Barbershops and booth renters

Six to ten staff shirts a season, plus a name mark on each barber's own apron. No minimum means a new hire gets one transfer instead of a box of twelve you would reorder anyway.

Hair and nail salons

Branded smocks and polos for the floor, a back piece for retail tees at the desk, and UV DTF at $0.10 per square inch for backbar bottles and station mirror decals.

Tattoo and piercing studios

Short runs per artist rather than one shop design: five hoodies of a flash piece, then five more if it sells. Die cut vinyl stickers at $0.22 per square inch for the counter jar.

Shops with no designer on hand

Pull from the catalog of 2,434 ready to print designs, set your own size in the calculator, and skip the artwork round trip. A 2 by 2 inch sticker is 4 square inches, $0.88.
