Printing on Fastrax Kit

The Options

All Fastrax clothing carries our Fastrax brand log in accordance with UKA rules.

Printing your club/team name or logo is a service that we offer at a very reasonable cost.

Almost all Fastrax garments can be printed using one of the following methods.

PLEASE NOTE... All sublimated garments DO NOT require additional printing. All the information below is only relevant to pre made "cut 'n' sew" garments.

FLOCK PRINTING

'Flock' is our normal and preferred method of printing. It provides a light, durable and highly visible print at a reasonable cost, with the added flexibility that a single item can be printed at no extra cost. Flock prints can be made in a wide range of colours and designs. A huge range of font styles are available but we strongly advise the use of plain fonts as these can be easily read at a distance, especially in a race.

The initial cost of flock printing comprises an artwork set-up charge plus the actual cost of the prints. All prints must be pre-paid. There is a minimum order per print size.

Example see table below:

For a 1 colour 228mm x 76mm print, the artwork charge is £30.50 and pre-paid price is £1.30 per print. The minimum order for this size of print is 44 prints so the initial cost is £30.50 (artwork) + (£1.30 x 44) = £87.50.

Prices for multi coloured prints are available on request.

CREVOR and PI PRINTS

Crevor prints are a development of the laser prints we used for many years. They provided a higher quality of print in which colour rendition is close to the original artwork (see Backgrounds below).For one-off items, or printing a small number of garments, our standard crevor prints provide a practical alternative where one or two colours are required. For multi coloured prints or even photos the PI (Positive Image) is a great solution. Both can be applied to dark coloured garments which is the improvment on our older laser prints.

Generally, when camera ready artwork is supplied, there is no set-up charge. Where we are required to add lettering (e.g. runners' names or website address) to pictures/drawings etc. and/or enlage or enhance images there may be an additional charge. We will always agree this with you before proceeding with the work.

All artwork designed by us remains copyright of Fastrax until your first order is delivered.

The above can be created from digital images which must conform to the specifications below. However, if you need assistance/advice about this ring Jo Fricker on 01943 601581 (option 2) or email her on jo@completerunner.co.uk.

SCREEN PRINTS

Except in very large numbers, eg for race t-shirts, we do not normally screen print garments. However, as with everything we do if you feel that this is what you require, contact Jo (Fricker)e.mail link here and she will be pleased to take your enquiry forward.

EMBROIDERY

Embroidery provides an alternative choice to Flock or Laser printing as a means to customise your garment order.

It is also the only method available for some items which cannot be heatprinted due to a particularly high nylon fibre content (e.g. the Team Allen Jacket).

A variety of basic text logos are available WITHOUT any set-up cost

A guide to pricing:-

FRONT BREAST AREA TEXT ONLY (approx 8cm in size) £6.25 inc vat.

REAR LARGER TEXT ONLY ( approx 23 x 8cm) £7.50p inc vat.

Reproduction of your own artwork WILL incur an initial set-up charge with prices starting from £55.00 inc vat. Each embroidered garment will then incur charges similar to those above .

If in any doubt please contact Jo Fricker(e.mail link) who will be pleased to arrange a full quote for you.

SUBLIMATION PRINTING

If your vest design is produced by sublimation printing, your name, logo etc are an integral part of the design for which there is no additional cost. An example of this is shown aside indicating the fine level of detail (ie the black outling on the shield) which can be achieved by this method.
