Application Instructions
We STRONGLY recommend that all shirt prints are applied by heat press (this service is available from most t-shirt printing stores).
Nameblocks are supplied in a straighline (unless otherwise specified when ordering). If you have received a straight nameblock but want it curved you can DIY the curve by drawing around the edge of a round plate to use as a template.
A household iron will not apply the nameset correctly and will cause damage to the nameset and/or shirt. This is because an iron does not keep a constant temperature or constant, even pressure.
Do not heat longer than advised otherwise this can cause the shirt colour to run through to the nameset. Colour run or 'bleed-through' occurs when the dye in a football shirt comes through the nameset material due to a too high pressure being used or length of time used to apply nameset is too long.
For shirts that are darker colour (eg: Inter Milan, Arsenal, Manchester United, Barcelona, Bayern Munich) than the nameset being applied it is recommended to half the application time when applying.
If you have any questions about application please email prior to application for clarification.
We cannot accept any responsibility for damage that may arise during application.
