about monkeypress
We’ve been on the other side and know how important it is to get high quality transfers fast so that you can get products out to your customers and grow your business.
Our in-house team have years of experience in both heat pressing and artworking. We know what works and what doesn’t, and we openly share that experience with our customers.
We aim to have your peels printed and shipped to you within 3 working days. Larger runs will take longer and we can provide an estimate on request.
Our transfer peels are designed to last. Even after 50 washes your design is still as vibrant and detailed. If you want to keep the leftovers of your order, our peels last up to a full year with no quality degradation.
Absolutely! All our peels are made using water-based inks which have 30-40% less carbon emissions than that of solvent-based inks.
We do not supply any of the materials for transferring or heat pressing. All peels are completed in-house.
questions about peels
As detailed as you want it to be! Our printing process allows us to replicate any design in the finest detail – all we ask is that any fine elements in your design are at least 1pt (.35mm) thick. Be as creative as you want!
We have a template for each kind of transfer you might need, all you need to do is simply choose the type of transfer (face masks, t-shirts, hats, etc.) and download our pre-made template to ensure your artwork is perfect and ready to go!
Your design can range from a little speck all the way up to a huge 290 x 420mm peel! Just find the right template for what you’re pressing.
Different files work best for different images, so check this when downloading your artwork template. Files should be submitted as PDF, AI, EPS or PSDs. If vectorisation is required for artwork, a charge will be applied.
We will always check the artwork before it goes to print to ensure it has been set up correctly. If there are any issues with your set up,
we’ll be in touch to help, however, please note that any issues will cause a delay to your printing.
We do not provide art proofs for your order, but provided that your artwork has been made to spec and set up correctly, your peel will be replicated exactly.
