Custom Heat Transfer Clothing Label

How Do You Apply Heat Transfer Labels?

• Heat Transfers Garment tags can be applied using a household iron or commercial heat press.
• The application will vary depending on the fabric composition as well type of the transfer label.
• Always follow the manufacturers applying instructions.

HOUSEHOLD IRON – Using a household iron is very simple and does not require any technical skills. However make sure to test on a piece of similar fabric before full transfer application on your garment. This way you can avoid any mishaps and errors and you will be knowledgable about the pressure and time involved. Please note that not all heat transfers labels can be applied by household iron. Please contact your transfer manufacturer for specific instructions if you are unsure.

MANUAL HEAT PRESSES – Using manual heat presses are easy to use and suitable for those who print regularly but in smaller quantities. Place the garment and heat transfer label on the press and apply the print by lowering the upper platen until it locks into position. The press gives you some help with applying pressure, but some manual pressure is required. Again, it is always a good idea to do some testing prior to your project to make sure the press and transfer are working properly.

PNEUMATIC HEAT PRESSES -Pneumatic heat presses use a compressor instead of a manual handle or lever. Buttons and digital settings control the pressure, heat and timing of your printing operation. You do not need to use manual power with a pneumatic press. High frequency heat presses are widely used by athletic wear companies and any project with high volume manufacturing.
