What does BlingFORCE sell?

In a nutshell, we offer two primary products:

Heat-applied transfer appliques: We print these to your specs on our very expensive, fancy fully automated equipment, and ship you the transfers. You apply them to garments or other products of your choice, with any heat press. With few limitations, these can also be applied by your customers at home with a household iron, if you wish to resell the iron-on transfers as a standalone product.
Completely decorated products: You can also (or instead) choose to have us finish the product instead of buying the transfer. We offer 50+ products on our web site, including women’s and girls’ apparel from some of the top brands, and accessories like hats and tote bags.

Generally, we work with two mediums, which are available to you:

Rhinestones/Rhinestuds: You know what these are. Rhinestones are the crystal (glass) form. Light enters the stone and refracts. Rhinestuds are of a similar size and shape as stones, but they’re colored metal (aluminum) and as such, the light reflects, giving them a different (though no less incredible) quality. Between stones and studs, we have practically every color made today to offer you; over 3 dozen different colors in 2 sizes.
Glitter: This is a specialized type of heat-applied vinyl that’s thick and has glitter for the top layer. This product is very versatile, durable and easy to use. It’s often used to fill in large spaces in a design where it’s more cost-effective to use than if you filled in the same space with hundreds or thousands of rhinestones. Combining these two products is something we frequently do, and gives a premium mixed-media sort of look.

We can also create designs using matte or metallic vinyl, cut on our cutter like glitter. However, if your shop already does printing, you might not have as large a use for this product.

Why do I need to apply to work with you?

We’re very careful about choosing which Clients we work with, for several reasons:

We want to be sure our Clients can benefit and are prepared to profit from what we offer;
Clients must already be an established company with an excellent track record, and experience in the apparel or apparel decoration industry;
We don’t want to overwhelm a certain geographical area with multiple Clients selling to the same customer base, so we take strides to ensure adequate physical separation between shops. In other words, we won’t let your competitor around the corner in.
It’s the only way to be able to offer such low wholesale prices. The general public, for example, requires far more hand-holding and assistance than companies who already know at least the basics.

What does it mean to be “pre-approved?”

Lucky you! This means you’ve been found by our radar (a consultancy we work with to seek out the best potential Clients) and we know we already want to do business with you. We won’t make you go through as many hoops to set up your account. It’s an exciting thing to be pre-approved – we’ve vetted your company, we know that you’re a rockstar in your space, and we want to work closely with you.

Go to the pre-approved signup page to begin.
