merry set small and low, Christmas written large across the width in a fine upright script with one long swash running out from the final letter and back under the word. Nothing else.
One ink and genuinely thin strokes. Light on black, bottle green and navy; dark on cream and white. Contrast is the only thing holding this design together, so pick a ground with plenty of it.
Ten inches wide. Fine script does not shrink — below eight the hairlines break up on a textured garment.
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

|---|
| Rest of the lower 48 | Cross-country ground |

We do not publish day counts — the print is ours to promise, the truck is not.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.
