Heat press printing is a great option for applying bold, full-colour designs to garments. Your artwork is printed onto paper or vinyl, then permanently transferred to fabric using heat and pressure—resulting in vibrant, long-lasting prints with a smooth, flat finish.
Unlike embroidery, this method is ideal for larger designs or logos that require detailed graphics and clean edges.
We can heat press your design onto nearly any type of garment. Before printing, we’ll review your artwork and flag any issues with sizing or legibility to ensure a flawless final product.
Production times usually range from 3–5 days depending on design complexity and quantity. If you need a quicker turnaround, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your deadline.
Stroud has a busy calendar of local markets, community events and local groups’ gatherings, and our print works is based in the town too. So if you have some designs for clubs, fundraisers or your own small business, then we’re right on your doorstep.
Printed Clothing Stroud orders are produced using the heat press printing process. This method suits bold, full-colour designs and provides a flat finish when printing over larger areas. We print onto t-shirts, hoodies and more, and artwork can be supplied by the customer or produced by our in-house design team. The printing process is eco-friendly and most orders take 2–5 days.

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.
