About shurtz

PLEASE READ THE LATEST POST RE OUR INTENDED CLOSURE

About Us

We conceived
shurtz early in 2012 to cater for customers who required quality printed garments (and other items) that could conceivably be printed using heat-applied media.

We offer a photo/image transfer and vinyl printing service for all occasions and virtually all garments. Customers can supply the items or we can provide what you require. Let us know how you want each item personalising and we will give you a fixed quotation.

Unusual items such as untreated gazebos, cloth mobile covers, pillow cases, smooth baby-grows, flags and banners are all items we routinely print. If it's made of cotton, polyester, or poly-cotton, chances are we can print it.

Typical products and services we supply include personalised tee shirts for hen and stag parties, safety and corporate wear for businesses, uniforms for sports and social clubs, naming and numbering of football kits, work-wear including tunics for beauty therapists and hairdressers, holiday-wear and general fashion-wear. In fact, we can source just about anything.

If you call on stall at Leigh Market, we can usually recreate your required design on screen there and then for you to check out prior to printing and, even during our busier periods we will send a draught design to you on the same day by email for you to approve.

You can contact shurtz by email: shurtz@hotmail.co.uk , by telephone: 07530 703582 or just come along for a chat at Unit P21, Leigh Market Hall, Leigh, WN7 4PD, Tuesday-Saturday, 9.30 am-4.00 pm. Facebook us at https://www.facebook.com/shurtzofleigh

Garment Care

Care Of Garments

Please always follow the instructions on the garment manufacturer's guidance tag. Additionally, garments which have been printed using heat pressed vinyl or heat pressed transfer paper MUST be washed at or below 40° C (under 30°C for nylon) AND must be both washed AND ironed while inside out. Do not tumble-dry. Do not dry-clean. Also, as you were told when ordering, photo-transfers WILL GRADUALLY FADE with washing.

Copyright Designs

Please note that we cannot use copyright designs when personalising garments. Acceptance of an order by shurtz is made on the assumption and condition that the customer has consent to use the required design.

Festive Greetings & January Holiday

I hope you all enjoy the Christmas break and I wish you all the best for 2013. We'll be taking a break from Friday 4th. January 2013 to Thursday 10th. January 2013 (inc). Normal service will then be resumed. Got to say that it will be great to gather our thoughts before the Spring rush!! Based on last year's trading, this year promises to be another good one. We've been able to hold our prices as per last year and are looking forward to offering our usual top quality service, which in most cases includes free design and free delivery. Bye for now. Speak soon.

How Cute's This??!

We recently had a request for embroidery to be applied to a tiny pair of overalls, a present for a budding junior racing driver....or was it mechanic!!?? With his favourite manufacturer for all to see on the rear and the young man's initials over the front left breast pocket, he'll really look the part!

Vehicle Decals & Sublimation Ink Vinyl Printing

More additions to our product range are arriving by the week. Now supplying vinyl based vehicle graphics for all types of vehicle. From cars through vans to artics, we can satisfy your needs.

We've been applying transfer paper prints to garments for some time now. The results are initially excellent but do deteriorate with washing and ironing over the months. Although this option remains a cost effective way of reproducing complex multicoloured images, say for company promotional events, fun runs and holiday wear, we now supply sublimation ink printed vinyl patches which offer a permanent non-fading alternative to transfer print pressing. When ordering 10 or more patches, which we can heat press onto your garments, there is no origination/set-up fee. All we need initially is a quality image to work with.

Coming soon, embroidered name tags for school wear etc..

Quality Photo Transfers Added To The Range...

Following massive demand for photo/image transfer printing, we have decided to provide this new service with immediate effect. For the time being, we will ONLY be employing this process on white and pale pastel coloured garments. A few comments on this type of printing. The quality of the image is determined in the main by the quality of the original photo/image. The bigger the original photo/image size and resolution, the better. Stunning artwork = stunning result. Maximum print size is 210 wide × 297 mm high (A4 paper).

Garments printed in this way must be washed and ironed while inside out. However, the resultant print will never be as long lasting as a vinyl printed garment and deterioration over time is inevitable.

Watch out for new products and services as demand dictates!!
