For any Backlit Polyester items, 50mm bleed must be supplied. This allows for any extra material required for hems, as well as shrinkage and movement when printing and cutting.

Notice

Backlit Polyester items are supplied on a roll. Please be aware that Backlit Polyester graphics can crease and bruise if handled without care.

Our thread colours are black or white. Our sewists will choose the most appropraite colour to complement your graphic.

Currently we can only print up to 3.2 metres (10ft 6in) on the shortest edge, to our standard pricing. Items above this size will require a bespoke quotation.
