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.

New Products Being Added....

We're getting asked to supply services we never anticipated and in trying to satisfy this demand shurtz is continually evolving. Watch out for sublimation ink printing, screen printing and more over the coming weeks.

Plus, we've standardised our discount rates for volume purchases rather than negotiate rates on a per order basis. Order 5-9 printed garments to get 5% discount with 10+ printed garments attracting 10%.

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!!

Okidoki! Day one went rather well....a good number of enquiries and three good orders! Got to say too, what a great set of people the market traders are. Salt of the Earth, they really are. Looking forward to seeing what day two will bring. Onward and upwards as they say.
