Just the word, in a black brush script with a tail that runs out to the right. It is the kind of design that a Detroit label would draw for itself, which is why it works on merch that wants to look local rather than licensed.
Black on white, black on sand, black on athletic heather. On a pale blue tee it looks like a bar shirt, which some customers want on purpose.
Eight inches wide is the natural size. Order the four-inch for a left chest and sell it as the quiet version.
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We do not publish day counts — the print is ours to promise, the truck is not.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.
