  • Heat press question

    Posted by John McCrorie on 2 July 2013 at 06:28

    I have been asked if its possible to produce and heat press on 6 golf club badges, to the breast pocket of 6 designer blazers/jackets, I’ve done polos and t shirts before but never a blazer, I think the blazer is a mix of cotton wool and polyester

    The badge is to look like velvet, which I will use flock material for, my only concern is I don’t want to burn the material of blazer and leave a shiny mark of the press

    Anybody ever heat pressed a blazer pocket? What’s the best way to do this, and to protect the material of the jacket

    Thanks again for your help

    Take care
    John

    This is not my field of expertise but wouldn’t a blazer be better embroidered rather than heat press to look right?

    That’s what I suggested but because its for only a few the cost to embroider them was expensive

    Can you not print the badges onto an overlay piece of felt then sew these onto the blazers?

    I would go embroidery too, I use a a local woman in the main – she gives me a bit of a trade discount, a 3-4 colour logo is rarely more and £3-4 cost to me, retail it out at £7.50 – job done, I know it’s only a few but see where it leads, a pic of good embroidery on your web is worth more than just saying you can offer it.

    My rugby club recently bought about 50 ‘made to measure’ blazers, you know, the lairy deckchair style club colour type… the blazers cost over £75 each to buy, the logo was a small cost in comparison…. it’s got to be worth doing right!!
