Understanding transfers versus finished garments

Finished garments

We supply the garment, print it and deliver the finished item. This is the easiest option if you don't own a heat press.

Transfers only

We print the designs on film and you press them onto your own garments. Popular with print shops, resellers and anyone with a heat press. Transfers are often arranged on a gang sheet to use the film efficiently.

Pressing your own transfers

1. 1Pre-press the garment for a few seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
2. 2Place the transfer, printed side down onto the fabric.
3. 3Press using the settings supplied with your transfers — typically around 150–165 °C, medium-firm pressure, 10–15 seconds. Always follow the instructions for the specific film.
4. 4Peel the film when the instructions say (hot or cold peel).
5. 5Optional: cover with a protective sheet and press again for 5–10 seconds for a more durable, softer finish.

• Test on a spare garment first, especially on new fabric types.
• Store unused transfers flat, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
