Default Any new tips on heat pressing long sleeves?

Is anyone heat pressing long sleeves and how is the market for this?

We are approaching winter here in New York so I believe long sleeve tees would sell more than shorts right now.

Seems like a good move to offer as an option to your customers.

Since you're doing heat pressing, you don't really have to invest much to offer it as an option and if customers buy, you'll know the demand is there.

For some reason, I get the idea that hoodies are more popular than long sleeve t-shirts, but that could just be my personal preference coming through

Long sleeve tees are very popular in the colder months. They are just as easy to print as the short sleeve shirts. One thing to watch out on the hoodies (which are also very popular) is the the pocket seams and the neck. Most of the time you will be printing on the back of the hoodies.

There are not that many different sleeve designs produced. I think we have about all that are available.
