WHAT ARE HEAT TRANSFERS?

Heat Transfers turn your designs into garment decorations. They are manufactured using ink, printed onto a carrier and sent to you ready to be applied to a garment using a heat press.

They can be applied to any textile/ fabric that can take heat. Heat transfers are used to get a soft finish, that feels like part of the garment. And to get vibrant colours, neons and metallic finishes from your designs.

With Custom Heat Transfers, all you need to do is provide artwork. Once you are happy with your design, add it to the uploader and we will bring it to life. Then in your own time press on demand by fusing it under a Heat Press for 10-12 seconds.

There are two types of transfer: Screen Printed & UltraColour. Both will last the lifetime of the garment.

WHAT IS A HEAT PRESS?

A Heat Press is a machine that applies your custom design in the form of a heat transfer to a range of garments and accessories including t-shirts, jerseys, sweatshirts, bags, caps and more, allowing you to create your own products.
