Press It For Me — $3 / press
Press It For Me: Finished Apparel, Pressed in Houston
Upload your designs, pick your garment and placements, and AMS presses and ships finished apparel for you. Houston-made, no heat press needed. $3 per press / placement.
- $3 per press / placement (front = 1 press, back = 1 press, sleeve = 1 press)
- Choose designs from your gang sheet or your My Designs library
- Pick garment type, color, size, and placements
- We press it in Houston and ship it to you (or your customer)
If You’re in Houston, You Already Know Why This Exists
Houston shops don’t lose money because they can’t print. They lose money because:
- They're stuck pressing when they should be selling.
- They get buried by last-minute school orders, team shirts, church groups, pop-ups, and "I need it by Friday" customers.
- Humidity turns a normal workflow into a sweaty, misaligned, re-pressing nightmare.
- They're trying to scale with a craft press and hope.
Press It For Me is the cheat code: you still sell custom apparel — without bottlenecking your week around a heat press.

What “Press It For Me” Actually Is
You’re not just paying for a press. You’re paying to remove the entire mess:
- We take your uploaded designs
- We handle cut-up / staging from the gang sheet workflow
- We press with the right temp, pressure, and time for the transfer type
- We QC it, pack it, and ship it
- You get finished apparel you can hand to a customer (or ship direct)
What this is
A per-garment pressing and fulfillment service. You provide designs, we press onto garments and ship finished products.
What this is not
This is not a DIY transfer order. If you want films to press yourself, order DTF transfers instead.
Who it’s for
Anyone who wants to sell custom apparel without owning or operating a heat press. Shops, resellers, event organizers, and teams.
This Is Ideal If You…
Don't own a heat press (and don't want to)
Own a press but don't want your growth capped by it
Sell apparel but want production handled for you
Need consistent results without training a new person every 2 weeks
How It Works (Simple, Fast, Repeatable)
2
Build your gang sheet
Set the sizes you want, arrange placements, and add the gang sheet to cart. Pro tip: if you have multiple placements (front + back + sleeve), label designs clearly so configuration is fast later.
3
Select "Press It For Me" in the cart
After the gang sheet is in your cart, choose Press It For Me to switch from DIY transfers to finished apparel.
4
Configure the finished apparel
Choose garment type (tee, hoodie, etc.), color, size run, placements (front / back / sleeve), and which design goes where from your gang sheet or My Designs.
5
We press, pack, and ship
You get finished apparel delivered — ready to sell, gift, or distribute. No pressing, no QC hassle, no re-work.
What Counts as a “Press”
Every placement = one press. Pricing is crystal clear:
| Example order | Press count | Pressing cost |
|---|---|---|
| Front only | 1 | $3 |
| Back only | 1 | $3 |
| Front + Back | 2 | $6 |
| Left Chest + Sleeve | 2 | $6 |
| Front + Back + Sleeve | 3 | $9 |
How pricing works
Per placement pricing: $3 per press. Front, back, and each sleeve each count as one placement. Your total order cost = garment cost + transfer cost + $3 per press + shipping.
Building for a team or group order? Your retail price = (garment + transfer + $3/press + your margin).
Placement Options
You can do one placement or go full “tour merch” with multiple hits.
Front (Full Front)
Left Chest
Full Back
Nape / Upper Back (Small)
Sleeve (Left or Right)
Custom Placement
Houston reality: Sleeve prints are what separate “basic fundraiser tee” from “this looks legit.”
Design + File Requirements
If the file is trash, the print will look trash. Here’s the checklist:
- 300 DPI or higher artwork is the standard (higher is better)
- Preferred formats: PNG, PDF, or SVG
- For ultra-fine detail: keep line thickness at least ~1 pt
- If you're unsure, request a preflight check in your order notes (manual review may add time)
Don’t Have a Heat Press? Good. You Don’t Need One.
Household irons and small craft presses are notorious for uneven pressure and inconsistent heat — peeling, fading, and rework.
Sell finished apparel without buying equipment
Stop gambling your orders on "maybe my press is hot enough"
Avoid training overhead and ruined garments
What You Can Order as Finished Apparel
You pick the finished item at checkout — then we press your designs onto it.
T-shirts
Hoodies / Sweatshirts
Youth + Adult Sizes
Totes + Other Items
Houston Bonus: Same-Day Pickup (For Transfers)
If you’re local and doing DIY transfers, Houston pickup can be fast. Same-day pickup timelines apply to DTF transfer orders specifically — finished apparel orders go through pressing, QC, and packing, so timing depends on order complexity.
Turnaround caveats
Same-day pickup and courier windows are DTF transfer-only service paths. Finished apparel turnaround includes pressing, quality check, and packing time. Check at checkout for estimated delivery.
For Houston Print Shops: How You Profit With This
Press It For Me is basically an outsourced production lane. Here’s the simple model:
The Math
- You sell a tee for $25 – $35
- Hard costs: garment + transfer + $3/press
- You keep margin without burning labor hours on the press
The Hidden Win
You stop losing sales because you’re “too busy to press right now.” Your press capacity is no longer the ceiling on your revenue.

- QC handled before packing

- $3 per press, predictable cost
