During the heat press printing process, your custom graphic is transferred onto paper or vinyl, then added to your chosen garments using heat. The image transfer is made permanent through heat and pressure with vibrant and long lasting results.
Compared with embroidery, heat press printing is suitable for larger areas of print with a flat finish.
We can heat press any design onto almost any garment. We will check the size of your artwork and advise if any text will be legible before printing, so you can be sure your custom printed clothing will be perfect.
Lead-time for custom printed clothing depends on the number of versions, total quantity, and if you would like a special finish on them. Please try to allow 3-5 days in most cases, but anything outside of this please highlight from the outset and we will do our best to meet your deadlines.

Print that doesn’t cost the earth…
At Wheatley Printers, we don’t just talk about sustainability – we deliver. Here are just a few of the ways we minimise our impact on the world around us:
Technically 30 days, but unless we incur increases on materials it will be longer.
All of our materials are from sustainable sources, eco friendly and recycled materials are encouraged where possible.
Each job is bespoke, we enjoy working closely with you to give you the outcome you are looking for.
No minimum or maximum, we would explain the most cost effective option for you though, for you to decide.
If you order in bulk, you will benefit from a better unit rate.
Some jobs are cheaper when they repeat for certain reasons.
Payment can be made via: Bacs Payment, Card Payment *No American Express* or Cash
This will vary for many reasons, it will be discussed prior to the order taking place.
Every job will be looked at individually and an agreement made from both parties, to ensure the best outcome.
You don’t have to provide finished artwork for us to handle your print work. Our modern, well-equipped design studio – and experienced creative designers – can produce professional artwork for you.
Just get in touch to talk us through what you need.
