Monarch Print

Monarch Print supplies printed promotional merchandise from Yate, Bristol, with soft toys, mugs, tote bags and drawstring bags among its products. Its website describes a family business with more than 30 years of trading history. It sells both printed and blank products, including options for printing businesses and freelancers.

Products and printing

Promotional teddy bears are a particular focus. Outfit choices include white and coloured T-shirts, hoodies, dressing gowns, chef outfits, graduation outfits, medical outfits and hi-vis jackets. The Tummy Print range allows a logo, message or design to be printed directly onto the toy rather than onto an outfit.

White polyester bear hoodies can carry full-colour printing, while black hoodies are offered with a single-colour print. The website lists CMYK heat transfers and screen prints for these garments. Coloured bear T-shirts use screen printing, quoted per colour, with multicolour logos referred for a quotation.

Other lines include ceramic and plastic mugs, printed tote bags and drawstring bags. Its range includes sublimation-printed mugs, making sublimation printing another stated decoration option.

Artwork, samples and order quantities

Its design and artwork support includes scaling an existing logo to fit a bear, preparing a mock-up for approval and helping refresh a logo or branding message. Free product samples are available on request. The white T-shirt bear page also says mock-ups and samples precede printing the full run.

There is no minimum order quantity on many product lines, but product-specific limits apply. Coloured T-shirt bears, black hoody bears and the Tummy Print range each state a minimum of 25 units. Product pages have tiered price guides, and the business invites enquiries for requirements of 2,000 or more printed or blank items.

Bulk orders and delivery

For factory orders of this size, its bulk-order page gives lead times of three to six months and describes options to alter soft-toy designs or add branding to tags. It also offers storage and distribution for larger organisations, allowing stock to be called off as required.

Its delivery page states standard delivery times of three to five working days. Free delivery applies to orders over £100, excluding Scottish Highlands and Islands, non-mainland UK and overseas addresses. Courier and pallet services are described as next-day services from dispatch.
