Default Before buying a vinyl cutter- Can I buy them precut?

I'm looking to create a couple of shirts of each style of printing/transfer to give myself a good idea of which style/quality I like.

I've already found some places where I can order a small quantity of Plastisol transfers but I cannot find anywhere that will sell precut vinyl transfers.

Everything I've searched on this forum talks about purchasing a vinyl cutter. Can anyone recommend a place where I can submit my image to have it cut into vinyl transfers (preferably in small quantities)

I don't know if there's a company that offers pre-cut vinyl transfers. The first place that comes to mind, tho, is Spreadshirt. But they only offer finished shirts with vinyl (flex) or flock.

Your other option is to ask around on in this forum for people with plotters to cut out a couple of your designs and send them to you. You may need to pay them, you may get them for free, depending on the complexity of your transfers, just to help you out (or they may ask you for the cost of materials and shipping).

Another way you could ask people here is to post in the referrals forums here.

Good luck!

I agree with Chani, I do not believe there is a wholesale provider for precut vinyl designs.

Another place you could try is the classified on the forums and ask for someone to do a set for you.

The beauty of a cutter (I have 2 and a VersaCamm) is you can do a one off design or small quantities. It is also perfect for names and numbers on shirts, jerseys etc..

as noted above...I am not aware of any place to 'order precut vinyl'. You really should post what area you are in so that someone here might contact you and arrange to do a cut or two for you at a modest fee.

I thought Imprintables would allow you to order designs in viny l? I suggest checking with them or posting in the classified section. I'm sure some of us with a vinyl cutter could help a fellow member out. ....JB
