Content Standards

Wellington House Inc - Content Standards

Wellington House Inc is proud to supply businesses, small and large, with DTF Transfers that meet their customer’s needs. We recognize that custom apparel is a form of personal expression and a way of communicating a variety of viewpoints and opinions.

However, we also recognize that these ‘expressions’ can potentially have a negative impact on others. Because of this, we try to strike a balance between ‘freedom of expression’ and ‘negative’ or ‘offensive’ content.

The following is a list of guidelines and standards to help you understand what we will produce, maybe produce, and will not produce when printing DTF Transfers.

We use a system of “YES - MAYBE - NO”, as represented by the symbols above, to determine if your designs or artwork meet our standards. If the design is questionable and falls into the MAYBE category, we may contact you to discuss potential alternatives.

Here is a list of general guidelines of each content standard category. This is not meant to be an exhaustive or complete list to cover every possible scenario. Ultimately the decision of design approval rests with our team.
