Vinyl onto childrens polo shirt - having a freak out :(

[carolm1a]

Hi everyone

Why oh why do I do this to myself!!!!

Ive said I will put a design onto 20 preschool polo shirts, they want the design on the back.

Ive got 2 questions really, not sure of the best temperature and time on a polo shirt (I don't normally do t shirts) and also, they have buttons on the front so this is going to cause me an issue, is there a way around it?

Thanks guys xx

Where ever you got the vinyl from will give a guide to for time/temps, buttons are not a problem as you're doing the back so just put a small towel inside the polo to lift the back up off the plate

If design is only going ion the back can you not thread the shirt on so the front hangs below the platen?

If they are preschool Justin it would be a small heat press to enable you to thread the shirt over the platen. I have used a cap press for very small shirts before, or as Scotty says just Pad them out, but remember you still need a reasonable pressure.
