A boarding pass with the city stacked down the middle in three fat lines, ORD in the corner, a gate, a seat, a flight number and a barcode that looks scannable and is not. It is a design for people who leave and come back, and it sells to them at the airport-adjacent boutiques and to the ones who never left at all.
Solid black, which means it presses onto white, sand and pale grey with no underbase showing and looks like it was printed in a shop, not ordered online.
It is tall and narrow. Five inches wide gives you a chest-height ticket on a tee; three for a sleeve or a tote corner.
How to press it
| Temperature | 285–305 °F (140–150 °C) |
|---|
| Pressure | Medium — 60–70 PSI |
|---|
| Cold peel | 12 seconds, then let it cool 15–20 minutes before peeling. |
|---|
| Hot peel | 6 seconds, peel straight away, then a second press of 6 seconds. |
|---|
| Second press | Parchment or Teflon over the design, 6 seconds. This is where the matte finish comes from. |
|---|
| All fabrics | One set of settings covers cotton, polyester, blends and canvas. |
|---|
Pre-press the blank first — it flattens the fabric and drives out moisture, and skipping it is the most common cause of a transfer that fails one shirt in ten. Full guide and troubleshooting table.
Turnaround and delivery

We do not publish day counts — the print is ours to promise, the truck is not. Your tracking email carries the carrier's own estimate for your address. Sheets up to 24 inches ship flat between boards; longer sheets are rolled face-in and boxed. Nothing is folded. What each ground leg looks like.
If it comes out wrong
We reprint it. Print defects, the wrong size or quantity against the order, transit damage and lost parcels are all ours — reprinted on the press the same day we agree it, shipped free. Prefer the money back? Say so and it is refunded, tax and shipping included.
What we do not cover: change of mind, a file that printed exactly as sent, and pressing problems from the wrong temperature, time or a warm peel. We will help diagnose those, and if a whole batch fails with correct settings we treat it as a print defect.
Report within 7 days with photographs. Full policy.
