I (or Vortech!!) have now branched out slightly from signwriting and have bought an Embroidery machine so can offer polo shirts, fleeces, jumpers, t-shirts etc with company names/logos etc on. I've been churning out stuff on it for the last month or so and am now pretty much up to scratch now so am starting to advertise to recoup the cost of the bloody thing ! Already picked up some healthy contracts with some large firms so all good . I will carry on doing stickers/signs/vans etc and numberplates will commence again very soon (changing supplier/machine as i've been messed about by my current stockist!)

So if there are any self employed people out there or people with small businesses (or large) that wish to have polo shirts etc done then get in touch.!

As a rough price guide polo shirts (fruit of the loom - any colour in their range) with embroidered lettering or a logo will start from £7.50 a shirt depending on amount of thread but with NO SETUP FEE (what most companies charge for!!). Minimum order is 6 shirts at a time. One off's can be done but prices may be a spit higher!! Logos can be multicoloured, any fonts etc etc.

Just to add here that Nuts RS supplies the Passionford Poloshirts so anyone wanting these go direct to Tony .

Can either pm me on here or email sales@vortechsigns.com for enquiries

Wish me luck!!

Cheers
Chris

 

All the best Chris with your new venture

I might be needing a couple of fleeces doing for an idea I have had - will catch you on MSN with the details

 

chris 15 years ago you would have made a killing with ralphy shirts and jackets

 

Chris, speak to the RSOC they could do with a better supplier of t shirts for the whole club!
they have issues at the moment with there current supplier

steve

 

chris ill PM you a idea that may be in your interest

 

Chris, can you do designs on Mugs at all mate? Will probably want about 10, with the same photo on them?

Cheers

 

Afraid not matey, the liquid will soak the thread if I try to embroider them!!!

I think Tony (nuts rs) can get them printed though

Chris

 

You have pm

 

Paddy

Speak to this chap - www.thebufferstopshop.com and tell him Paul from the Class 20 Loco Society sent you - he does one-off printing and the like and his prices are very reasonable

 

how about embroidering initials on tracksuit tops??

there will be approximately 15 of them, all the same with just 2 initials on each

rough cost??

( it's for our football training tops, so the letters need only be about 2-3" tall )

 

PM your way mate

Chris

 

Good luck matey... I'm sure i'll be speaking to you soon

 

chris can you embroid "gucci" logos on clothing and hand bags,,,,, feel like spoiling the missus at christmas

 

Always exciting investing in a new bit of kit and getting your first custom for it. I love it. Best of luck mate.

Only me at my place but i suppose if i got 7 t shirts i could wear one every day of the week Men in Black style.

 

yeah it is a bit exciting!!! Strange thing is my first customer is a global investment bank!!!!!!!!

Ginge- another good idea mate! I got the Gucci logo as it goes, and a 3 legged Ralph horse!!

 

So I'm going to contact this bloke and tell him some ladyboy from a train spotting club sent me via an internet site I use???

Jog on "lord of the gay" or whatever it was you wanted to be called

Seriously though, cheers mate 'll look into it tomorrow

 

i will soon start charging for consultancy

 

 

Would that be for some IT move/project that they make all the contractors wear the same gear?

 

Indeed, and facilities, caterers, chauffeurs, cleaners etc etc!!! Fookin first order was about 400 shirts!!!!!!!

 

Well done!!! hope it carries on fella!

 

Chris, i may me interested in some for a couple of my ventures

though one question can you do anything other than fruit of the loom? i've not been happy with the quality of there stuff in the past

 

Yes mate I can embroider on pretty much any material. Fruit of the Loom actually do 3 different qualities of polo shirt, the premium quality one being virtually no different to the usual Ralph/YSL polo shirts. Price wise isn't an awful lot different either!!

If you do wish to use an alternative make or wish to supply the shirts we can sort a price on purely the embroidery!

Chris

 

Cool man. I want Reyland put on my Racing overalls is that possible? if so you have a job

 

thats great chris, but im STILL waiting after about 2 weeks for a price for some stickers.

 

I'm waiting for your response Mike!! I mailed you about 10 days ago

Chris

 

Nice one Chris

I will be having a few off you mate....probably only 3 as there is only me...but im sure we can sort a price mate

 

You Tart Lee

 

I emailed back saying that digital stickers are no good

 

and i replied back after that!!!!! I'll resend it tonight mate when i'm home

 

will be in touch soon chris

 

doh..

never received it

sorry mate

 

What's the limit on minimum font size and such? Can you work from an EPS? Our logo is quite detailed you see.

 

we can go pretty small on the font but you gotta remember its cotton so too much detail is a no no!! Unfortunately all embroidery files are completely different to any other types (Ai/EPS/Tif etc) so would have to be drawn again. I can work direct from TTF Fonts though. The software is pretty clever though so it can be pretty accurate. Email the design you have and ill say yay or nay!!!

Chris

 

Good luck with it Chris

Porkie, watch out for fire retardent threads and patches being checked over at scruitineering in the near future

 

Chris can you get flame proof threads?

or I dunno it may look quite cool, staggering out of a crashed car unharmed with the word Reyland on my back and arms written in fire

Words in fire always look cool
