Decorating with Neons

by Courtney Matlick, Stahls’ CAD-CUT Direct

Finally, the wintery weather is on its way out and I think it’s safe to say the summer sun is on the horizon. While I love springtime here in Pennsylvania for the blooming flowers and trees, the introduction of bright colors on apparel and accessories is a true sign of summer for me and this year is no different. In fact, this year there are so many bright colors out that I’d like to label it as “The Year of Neons.”

From T-shirts and shorts to bags and shoes, apparel decorators and designers have found ways to incorporate this little bit of pop into designs to make people and their clothes stand out. It’s genius. What better way to make a logo or garment to stand out than with a bright heat transfer?

There are many ways you can incorporate neon colors into your apparel decorating this summer. Start with a neon-colored shirt and decorate it with a contrasting color, such as black, in your favorite CAD-CUT^® heat transfer material. Using a bold color for the garment is a great way to get T-shirts noticed for promotional events and giveaways. Plus, it’s easy to do with a vinyl cutter and a heat press.

Have a customer that wants to get their logo noticed? Upgrade the garment to use CAD-CUT materials in neon colors to make their design really pop.  And these ideas are just the beginning.  From promotional giveaways and corporate apparel to fan and spirit wear, the possibilities are only limited to your imagination.  With neon colors available in 5 of our best selling CAD-CUT materials, there is a material for every job.
