Fresh Look, Same Print Bar Magic

Well hello there. Yes we are looking a little different, it’s not just you! We’ve been hard at work building our new website with a bunch of new features to help bring your creative designs to life!

New Look

Thanks to the brilliant work of ALKR studios our brand has gotten a much deserved refresh. Along with our new colour pallet, refined logo and fresh new fonts we’re also sporting some illustrations from Zac Fay.

Creativity is intrinsic to The Print Bar, and we wanted that inspiration to shine through in every aspect of our brand. Our passion for printing is from this creativity and bringing your ideas to life, it’s our hope that our brand helps you to focus your design inventions. We’ve got more on our rebrand over here.

The new design tool

We’ve been working with img.ly to provide you with the latest photo editing software to make your designs come to life. Their pixel perfect tool is used on every one of our products so that cute snap of your dog is looking crisp on your tee.

1. Mobile Designing

Uploading your designs from your phone has never been easier. With our pop out tool you can recolour, add pics and edit your way to an amazing design. Take a picture and wack it straight on the shirt if you really want!

1. Better background removal

That’s a cute picture of your cat - but it would look better without that background. Just click the BG removal to keep the focus of the design what you want it to be. Feel free to add in a few more pics and remove their backgrounds as well.

Our Decoration Station

Introducing our all-new design station: a custom-built tool crafted by our very own Print Bar team, designed with you in mind. We’ve poured our experience, creativity and care into building a space where designing your merch feels seamless, informative and fun. From artwork specs to pricing clarity, it puts everything you need right where you need it. Here’s what’s new and what you can do:

1. Deciding between Screen Printing and Digital Printing?

The design tool will seamlessly recolour your image to be compatible with different printing methods. So if you want to see your photograph in full photo realism with Digital Printing or how it would look if Screen Printed with 6 different paints? Recolour your image manually or let our colour finder do the work for you.

1. What’s the stitch with Embroidery?

We’re unpicking embroidery bare so you can understand how our pricing works. It’s all about the stitch, no literally! Our integration with Wilcom allows us to digitise your design and make it compatible for our embroidery machines through calculating the stitches. Already got a design digitised? We’ve got an option for that as well! Just upload your design and we’ll take care of the rest.

1. Front, Back, Left and Right!

Easily switch between the sides of your garment to see how your design is looking. Want different decoration styles on different sides of your tee? No stress! Get your logo embroidered on the front and a bigger design Screen Printed on the back.

Same Day Orders

We’ve well and truly heard the feedback. Discover what’s Same Day compatible easily with our filters and look for the tag. Switching your order from regular to Same Day is now as easy as clicking the switch rather than navigating to a whole other product! That’s right, no need to recreate your entire design on another version of the same product just because it wasn’t the Same Day tagged garment.

New Product Filter

Filter by print method, colour, merch type and Same Day compatibility to find exactly what product you need. We’ve updated our product ranges so if you’re looking for Workwear, Corporate Merchandise or fun Knick Knacks then we’ve got them all there for you.

Shopify Integration

So you’ve got your Shopify store ready to go, the next step is just finding a printing partner. Well look no further because we are excited to announce that our Shopify integration is live and completely free to use!

Order samples, link to live products and create new ranges with our integration. We’re just getting started with this one and are excited to continue evolving it based on your feedback.
