Custom T-Shirt Printing Transfer Picture A5 to A4

Custom printed multi-colour iron-on picture for fabric

Create a memorable T-shirt, tote bag or other fabric item for yourself, a friend or anyone else as a gift or keepsake – and order the picture conveniently from our online shop. We print your photo or design onto special heat-transfer paper and you apply it to the fabric with a household iron. The result is a high-quality, colourful picture that you can position exactly where you want it on the garment.

A custom iron-on transfer is ideal for one-off event shirts, gifts and small promotional runs.

A printed transfer is a great alternative to a traditional T-shirt shop: you don’t need to go to a shopping centre or choose from a limited selection of ready-made designs. You choose the picture, order the transfer, we send it to you by post and you apply it at home whenever it suits you.

What is a printed fabric transfer suitable for?

A printed iron-on transfer decal or sticker is perfect for photos, colourful illustrations and detailed artwork. It is a full-colour solution with a white background, allowing you to use all your favourite colours, gradients and effects. A printed transfer is the best choice when:

• you want to use a photo (people, pets, cars, landscapes, etc.);
• you have multi-colour illustrations with shading (colourful artwork, gradient backgrounds, comics, paintings);
• you need a relatively small quantity (up to a few dozen shirts or bags);
• you want to apply the picture yourself at your own time and place (no heat press required – a regular iron and a flat surface are enough);
• you are making a special project (a personalised gift such as a shirt with a friend’s face, an inside joke, a one-off event, stag party, etc.).

If your design is a simple one-colour text or logo (for example numbers and names on sports shirts or a simple symbol), then a one-colour cut heat transfer decal is usually a better choice. With that product there is no background – the fabric itself acts as the background colour.

The printed heat transfer has a white background and most printers leave a small white border of about 0.5 cm around the image. If you do not want a visible white edge, you will need to trim around the picture with scissors before ironing it onto the fabric.

Application is very easy – watch the video!

Applying the printed picture to fabric is simple and does not require any special equipment. All you need is an iron that can maintain a steady temperature. In the video below you can see step by step how the application works.

Printed vs. cut transfer – which one should you choose?

We offer two different solutions for fabric: a printed iron-on transfer and a one-colour cut heat transfer decal. In short, the difference is as follows:

• Printed picture on fabric (this product): the picture is printed onto white transfer paper. Best for photos, multi-colour designs, gradients and highly detailed artwork. There is always a white background under the image. Typically washable up to around 40 °C.
• One-colour cut transfer decal: the design is cut from pre-coloured heat transfer vinyl. There is no background – only the text or logo remains visible. Ideal for one-colour designs, especially for sportswear and workwear. Not suitable for very complex or highly detailed artwork. Typically washable up to around 60 °C.

A simple rule of thumb: if you are using a photo or multi-colour picture, choose the printed iron-on transfer. If your design is a one-colour text or logo, choose the one-colour cut transfer decal – the result has no background and is generally more durable.

How to order?

When ordering, please follow these steps:

• upload your photo or design in the product customization section before selecting the transfer parameters, or send your files after placing the order by e-mail to info@thesigns24.com with your order reference;
• choose the desired picture size (for example A5 or A4);
• if you need an exact width and height, write the required measurements in the product customization field or in the order comments.

If you do not specify otherwise, we will print the picture at the maximum size that fits within the selected sheet format, while keeping the original aspect ratio of your design.

Material and care

To ensure that your printed transfer picture lasts as long as possible, please keep the following in mind:

• recommended maximum washing temperature is 40 °C (wash the garment inside out);
• use a gentle washing programme;
• avoid hand washing with scrubbing and strong bleaching agents;
• do not iron directly on top of the picture – always use baking paper or another protective sheet over the print when ironing.

A detailed application and care guide is included with your order and is also available as a downloadable instruction sheet.
