How it works
The three-step workflow
You handle your customer. We handle the bling.
Step 1: Send us your art. Email or upload the design file. We review it and confirm it works for a rhinestone layout. If the art needs cleanup before production, we flag it and can prep it for a flat fee.
Step 2: We design the layout. Our US team converts your art into a press-ready rhinestone transfer. Stone placement, count, and sizing are handled by us. You get a digital proof before anything goes to production. No approval, no production.
Step 3: You press it on garments. We ship the finished transfer to your shop. Apply it with a standard heat press. No special equipment beyond what you already own.
What art to send
We work from most file formats your customers hand you. Here is what works best and what causes delays.
Works well:
- Vector files: AI, EPS, PDF, SVG
- High-resolution raster: PNG or JPG at 300 dpi or higher
- Files with clear edges and distinct shapes convert fastest
Will cause delays:
- Low-resolution JPGs (under 150 dpi)
- Screenshots from phones or social media
- Art with fine gradient fills or photographic shading
If you are not sure whether a file will work, send it. We will tell you within one business day.
Turnaround and pricing
Standard production: 3 to 5 business days from proof approval.
Rush production: 48-hour or next-day options available. Rush fee added per order.
Pricing structure:
- Per-piece price is based on stone count and transfer size. Most standard designs run $8 to $18 per transfer.
- Setup fee applies to new artwork. It is a one-time charge, waived on every reorder of the same design.
- Quantity pricing: the per-piece rate drops as your order size goes up. Contact us for volume quotes on 50-plus pieces.
No hidden fees. The quote we give you is what you pay.
Equipment you need
A standard heat press. That is it.
BlingFORCE transfers apply with the same press you already use for screen print transfers or HTV. No special temperature setting or platen attachment required. Full press instructions ship with every order.
If you have a clamshell or swing-away press at standard garment settings, you are ready to go.
FAQ
What is the minimum order? One piece. There is no minimum order quantity. Print shops running small custom runs order one or two transfers at a time. Wholesale account pricing kicks in at 50 transfers per month.
How many revisions do I get? We include one revision on every layout proof. If the first proof is not right, we fix it. Additional revision passes are available at a flat fee per pass.
Who owns the design file? You own the art you submit. The production file we build from it is yours. If you move to a different supplier later, you keep the layout.
What is reorder pricing? Reorders of approved designs have no setup fee. You pay the per-piece rate only. Pricing is the same as your original order unless your quantity changes the tier.
Can I submit multiple designs in one order? Yes. Each design gets its own layout proof and setup fee. They can ship together or separately depending on approval timing.
