How to Place a Job for Tackle Twill w/ Arrow Emblems
Tackle Twill gives dimension and depth on t-shirts and sweatshirts—popular with the collegiate scene. The custom tackle twill patches make application and production easier, and allow us to do orders in house, rather than outsourcing to contract decorators.
Please see guide for screen-printed transfers before referencing this guide, as it explains how to set up a transfer job. Just as with screen-printed transfers, you will need a separate job for tackle twill other than the main job.
NOTE: All Arrow Emblem patches should include the Heat Seal backing, unless another is specifically requested by client or decorator.
QUOTING:
- AM emails PO@kotisdesign.com requesting quote
- Must include in email: job # or visual of artwork, size of artwork, qty’s to be quoted

KPS COST: $0.75 application cost per location (this is the same $0.75 cost that KPS charges for the screen-printed transfers, since there is no difference in the actual application process, just the type of transfer)
