Seasonal | The Ruddy Duck Printshop

Why should I use Ruddy Duck Printshop?+

Ruddy Duck Printshop was established to fill a gap in the market, producing high quality merchandise, at a reasonable cost, in quick timeframes. Our focus is on customer service and building long term relationships with our clients to give them the best experience possible. We specialise in full colour prints and heat transfer vinyl prints across a range of items to suit all budgets and requirements, from small bespoke orders to larger production runs.

What is Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)+

HTV is a material that can be cut to any shape, design or size and used to decorate anything from T-shirts, jumpers, bags and just about any other type of fabric. The Vinyl design is then fused on to the garment using a heat press. HTV is high quality and long lasting and excellent at adding personalisation to many products. All HTV prints are STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified which means they contain no harmful chemicals and are free from Phthalate and PVC and safe for all ages. We have a huge range to chose from, from solid colours, Glitter, metallic, flock, extra stretch and more. Don’t worry we can help you chose the best option. There is no minimum order for using HTV. You could order a one-off bespoke item!

What are Full Colour prints+

Our prints can replicate millions of colours and gradients. We can print almost any artwork, even the most complex pieces while maintaining very fine detail. The full colour print is then fused on to the garment using a heat press. All our full colour prints are produced on recyclable PET transfer paper. Not only that but we use Eco-Friendly Water-based inks which are OEKO-TEX® Class 1. This means they are safe for children and infants. The minimum order for full colour prints is as little as ten pieces. However, we can do special orders if required.

How much is Postage?+
