This is a planning reference for heat transfer print service. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional heat-transfer job: twenty adult cottonT-shirts with one 180×220 mm single-colourvinyl design each; buy22blanksfor two planned setup units. Follow actual transfer/fabric manufacturer application and peel instructions; no universal press temperature.
A draft to adapt before sending
I can apply twenty approved180×220 mm vinyl designs after a compatibility and adhesion sample on your chosen shirt. I will show exact transfer care instructions and quote setup stock separately.
This is an unsent draft. Replace placeholders and assumed prices, confirm the actual scope and remove any claim you cannot support. No prospect was contacted for this example.
