Transfer Printing Information

What is Transfer Printing?
Transfer printing involves creating a design on a special transfer paper or vinyl, which is then applied to fabric using heat and pressure. This method allows for full-colour graphics, gradients, and photographic images to be applied to a variety of materials.

Benefits of Transfer Printing

• Full-Colour Flexibility: Ideal for complex designs with multiple colours.
• Works on Different Fabrics: Can be applied to cotton, polyester, and blends.
• Cost-Effective for Small Runs: Perfect for personalised items or short orders.
• Quick Production: Fast turnaround, especially for small batches.

Important Considerations

• Durability: Transfers may crack or peel over time, especially if not cared for properly.
• Feel: Transfer prints sit on top of the fabric, which can give a slightly heavier or less soft feel.
• Heat Sensitivity: Some transfers are not suitable for heat-sensitive fabrics.

Perfect For:

• Custom t-shirts and sweatshirts
• Promotional items and gifts

Care Instructions for Transfer Printed Items

• Machine wash inside out, in cold water.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
• Tumble dry on low or air dry.
• Iron on reverse side only, if needed.
• Complex, multi-colour designs
