How to Start a Clothing Brand - Multi Color Plastisol Heat Transfers

[@djlive408]

Thanks for the motivation big homie, I just pulled the trigger on a heat press so it's about to get real! I also ordered my first 10 transfers from the place you mentioned xpress transfers so let's see how this goes. I'm very excited to get started!

[@BigBrandoh]

thats right!!! get that money!

[@DezmondAbrams]

Appreciate that neck tag color advice! Literally have black & white versions I was working on, rolling with grey now! :)

[@JoshJourney1]

can you make a video on what tools you need to get your design like what computer I need, what app to use to create my design

I like screen printing but transfer is pretty cool because I got a t-shirt that was transfer plastisol and the t-shirt looks old as hell faded too but the plastisol transfer still looks good brand new

[@mariyamfloyd4420]

I’ve been binge watching your whole KZbin channel! VERY HELPFUL! Quick question when doing plastisol multi color transfers do you have to establish the multiple colors you want in the illustrator you send over to the company to have printed?

[@BigBrandoh]

depends. if its multi color using 4 color process the break down will be CMYK but if its a multi SPOT color design you would call out each color in the design.

[@razaltamimi995]

Sorry, I meant buying your products....do you have a website selling your t shirts?

[@BigBrandoh]

not these shirts shown in the vid. sorry.

[@katiekelley3984]

Cost of multi color vs single for the sheets? Can you do photos vs graphics like you have? Thanks for the great content

[@BigBrandoh]

yes you can do photos. for photos i would recommend a 4 color process print. price depends on size of sheet, company you are going thru, quantity of transfers. with all printing, the more you order the cheaper per piece it will be. if you plan to do a small quantity i would look into a local shop i your area that has a DTG machine. would be more cost effective

[@Lemonteaplz]

How do I get rid of the square around the design after I take the shirt off my press? Dope videos by the way, always solid info.

[@BigBrandoh]

is the square, discoloration in the shirt? or just a indent in the shirt from the heat press. if its just a indent you can adjust your pressure or you can iron it out or let the customer iron the shirt. its cuz the shirt is under the press so its like ironing a big square, so the sleeves and rest of the shirt didnt get ironed hahahaa. but if its discoloration, you could be scorching the shirt so you have to adjust your heat or might be the pigment in the shirt that heat makes the pigment turn darker but once the shirt coole it goes away. check out my newest video for an example of that.

@@BigBrandoh what company do you purchase them from?

[@martinezmary63]

I just got a small heat press n Cricut...gotta get the sizing on the decals right lol

[@BigBrandoh]

best way to find sizing for t shirt designs is, have somebody wear the shirt, you take some masking tape or painters tape, and tape off a square or rectangle where you want the design to be placed on the shirt... now measure that square or rectangle and create your design to those measurements. i have a video showing this technique on my channel.

Hi Brandoh! Of course I’m new to the channel -and it’s Awesome!- but can I ask, what kind of shirt are you wearing in this video?

Nice king of king. That's some nice prints. Please in Hawaii they put big logos on the back of the shirt and smalll in front. Man the gun shops you should reach out to them. Side drawings. Under my arm it states the firing range name vertical, USA flag logo on right top, front of shirt where the pocket is a bullseye and company logo in the back, And they look painted how do they do it ?

[@GeorgeRiveraPhotography]

Just discovered your channel a few days ago. Thank you for sharing your knowledge brother. Some of the videos I've seen while I was searching for heat press info looked like they were filmed in the '80's and only shows them pressing school sports jerseys. Glad to see your video showing the press used for lifestyle/streetwear style purposes. Thank you.

[@BigBrandoh]

this is why i started the channel. thanks for watching and good luck with your new business

[@Joejunksitjunkremoval]

I'm lost on how you did this though. how did you get the design on the sheet did you print it or did you pay a company to put your designs on for you

[@BigBrandoh]

you send your design to a transfer company, they screen print the design on the sheet and you heat press the design on the shirt. single color, multi color... dont matter!

[@ikeepit1k286]

What up Big Brandoh? I love the channel you give amazing content. I'm in the process of starting a t-shirt line. In one of your videos you mentioned about a business license but dba. Where do I get that business license from? And where do I go to obtain a wholesaler/reseller permit? I live in Rochester, NY. Thanks again!

[@BigBrandoh]

watch the first 3 videos ever posted on my channel. in that exact order.

[@ecvdub07]

Brandon, thank you for making these videos, I have been creating designs for my brand for about 2 years now but they are all drawn on paper, I'm not very computer literate, what should be my next step? I've got a main logo, slogan, and concepts for 100s of shirts, plan on dropping 3 at a time but can't seem to get anywhere as far as production. I have money to pay for any work but the first place I went with my designs and concepts told me how dope it was, agreed to burn my first screen then a week later said they couldn't do it then changed their company name and slogan biting mine and refuse to communicate with me. Which has made me uncomfortable even telling a company what I want done. Any guidance you can offer would be greatly appreciated! It Southbay based brand as well!

[@emartinez2988]

Brandoh I seen something called stretch-litho transfers on the site you recommended me to. Apparently it's some new product that is supposed to be used if you're considering designs with multiple colors. I was wondering if you heard about it and if so is it more cost effective to go that route or stick with the option you explained in this video?

[@tanveervasdev29]

Could you recommend mult color plastisol heat transfer vendors that are affordable for start up brands.

[@clevelandsfinestentertainment]

Whats your opinion on full color transfers will they last just as long as the 1 color

yes! same print process, same inks, same curing process. as long as the transfer is applied correctly, you'll be good

[@tazoarahsan1212]

Dear Sir, are the Plastisol Papers already printed by the suppliers? or do you print on plastisol paper using a Normal Color Print?

[@liteweaver]

hi brando im also interested on the process since i like screen printing in terms of quality. So that means you send them your design to companies that offer plastisol and they gave that transferred design to you and you heat press it? do you stock your transfered design or you just get the transfered design as order comes bec i believe you have to wait for your design bef you be able to put in production. and lastly is the cost of producing tshirt design with plastisol lower compared to other process? Thanks

[@BigBrandoh]

this method is cheaper price wise, quality it is the same. screen printers use plastisol inks when they screen print onto a shirt. same ink same printing process but instead of it goin on a shirt, it goes on a transfer sheet. you cure it on the shirt with your heat press instead of a conveyor belt dryer. i stock transfers and blank shirts. press the shirts as orders come in. no orders come in, no shirts get wasted or used. controling my inventory is the biggest selling point to this method

Will plastisol crack after a few months of washing? I bought some Hawaii shirts at aloha stadium and after a few months it started to crack. I want to make a shirts to sell but depending on design I don’t want to weed a lot. Any recommendations? Thanks

[@BigBrandoh]

its all in the application process. when applied correctly the transfer will out live the t shirt its pressed on. cracking and peeling happen when its not applied correctly. even traditional screen printing can crack if its not applied correctly. i suggest ordering some samples, test them out with your set up and adjust your settings as you test it out. wash your samples and see how it holds up.

[@davids3049]

Big Brandoh thanks bro will try samples

[@kifter4254]

So a company prints then cuts for you and sends it to you ready to press?

Patrik Bindea color of print is still opaque and holds up after washes. the shirt will fade before the print looks bad.
