Design Your Own Custom Ties
Make your own tie using your original artwork for a truly distinguished accessory. Made from smooth satin in either skinny or wide styles, you can create a necktie that adds the finishing touch to your shirt and suit. The deep, rich print on both sides, and subtle sheen from the fabric produces an excellent finish turning any outfit into an impeccable fashion statement. You can make your own tie for a myriad of situations; patterned ties are perfect for livening up plain suits, funny ties are an ideal promotion tactic and novelty ties are a favourite holiday staple. Expertly crafted, your custom ties are designed to last.
Classic Width
Keep it traditional with this classic necktie. At 90mm wide, it's a solid choice for giving everyday apparel that extra sophisticated finesse. A timeless accessory.

Skinny Width
This 60mm skinny tie is a fashion essential, turning smart outfits into trendy style statements. You can easily go from office to night out wearing your skinny tie.

Men's Ties UK Quality Guaranteed
The specialist printing process we use to infuse the satin fabric with ink ensures your design is long-lasting without succumbing to fading. We print the necktie all over, so whichever way its styled your design will always be on show. Unique ties are a complementary addition to any men's clothing fashion brand. When we heat press on the tie, the fabric shrinks slightly resulting in a thin white line running along the seam lines at the back and on the edges of the fabric (See photo in gallery). We cannot guarantee 100% accuracy due to the way textile stretches and moves in the printing process though this will not show on the front of the tie and will not alter the overall quality of the product.
Style It With
Everybody loves a snappy suit, but even more so when there's an extra touch of pizzazz. For a casual day at the office, pair your custom ties with a shirt and chinos or tuck it behind a waistcoat to introduce more formality. The skinny tie is a trendy style piece, so wear with skinny jeans and a blazer for a modern day take on the smart/casual dress code.
Care instruction
Surface wipe only. Clean gently by hand with mild soapy damp cloth.

I designed the tie especially for a reception at the Victoria and Albert Museum, 3/4/19. It was a 60's event. The tie looked fabulous. Received many compliments on the tie at the event. Tie was printed in 24hrs and I am super pleased with the tie.

I ordered a beautiful blue tie with an own-designed tiny aeroplane pattern, and it came out great. Great printing quality and precision for the price.
The only thing preventing a continuous flow of orders by my side is the delivery price in Switzerland, even if I have to admit that the speed was astonishing.

I wanted to make a Tie from a photo of my sons graffiti as he was killed a couple of years ago and I will be doing some TV work and wanted something of him with me. The Tie is wonderful and I can not wait to wear it on TV to show off his work. The quality of the material is really good and I am very happy with it.

Frequently asked questions:
Do these ties have a keeper loop?
Our custom ties do not feature a keeper loop, however if you prefer to keep your tie as secure as possible, you can use additional accessories such as a tie clip or a tie pin.
What is the tie made from?
Your tie is made from a luxury satin fabric which gives any style a touch of elegance and panache. Whether you opt for the traditional wide tie, or the more modern skinny tie, this is an amazing accessory for any look.
How do you print my custom ties?
Your design is repeated on both the front and back, where we press and then print onto the flat surface. This means your unique ties are self-tipping, as the inner lining is left white. A fine white line is slightly visible on the reverse.

Print Guideline
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change colour using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
-
How will my image scale?
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
-
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
-
Maximum dimensions
For most of our fabrics, there is no limit on the length of the fabric that you can order. We have a preview design window set up to 10m max to visualise the print, but that's not a print limit. If you'd like to order more, increase the quantity (x2 for 20m or x4 for 40m for example) and then you can order as much as you'd like, with a built-in automatic volume discount too. The maximum print width of each fabric can be found on the individual fabric pages or in our design interface.
-
Do I need to incorporate white space within my design if I want a border or some cutting space?
Yes, that might help you! Always incorporate any extra space or borders into your purchased fabric size. We trim squarely around fabric samples and fabric prints, leaving approximately 5mm white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.
-
Do you print on fabric a customer supplies?
Unfortunately not; we like to test meticulously so that we know what gets best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them.
-
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail, jpeg is fine.
-
Why is there a barcode inside my clothing?
Due to our internal processes here at Contrado, there will be a barcode printed on your garment. This is inside the clothing and will not affect your design. It is usually found towards the bottom.
-
What is the situation with material shrinkage?
Just like many fabric printing processes, there is the potential for shrinkage. Depending on the fabric, please expect and allow between 2-8% shrinkage which you need to plan for in your dimensions. This percentage can vary. As everything we produce is handmade to order, there may be a slight variance in the measurements.
-
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?
We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as many fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.
-
Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them as you do with the normal fabric labels?
At the moment our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now, this is the best choice. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into labels.
-
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are printed using water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment.
