Included here are all known promotional transfers produced by Letraset, Thomas Salter & Acorn. We cover up to 1985, although many a later or irrelevant-but-interesting item sneaks in; those are listed in olive green.
"Free Gifts" & other promotions can be difficult to distinguish. Some promotions need a newly-created sheet of transfers, but others re-use old ones, perhaps with a claim to novelty; plus there can be repurposing existing artwork to various degrees. I've tried to note when a promotion has re-used existing transfers, in some cases adding the text "EXISTING PRODUCT".
Since promotions tend to turn up out of the blue, found by luck rather than skill, we may expect to add about another thirty or so to this list eventually.
If you know of any, please use the Facebook Action Transfers Page to tell us about it.
TOP TIP™ for navigation: it's probably less confusing to use the text links rather than the images!
