We offer heat transfer printing on apparel as one of our printing routes for custom orders. The exact route for an order depends on the artwork and the garment, so it is confirmed for each order before production. We do not publish one set of print parameters for every fabric and design. The minimum order is 1pc, so a heat transfer style can be tested first. Peak-season and repeat orders are also accepted. Send the garment, artwork, sizes and quantity with your inquiry so we can confirm the route.
Buyer pain points
- A logo, name or small graphic that needs to sit in an exact position on the garment.
- A short run where a full all-over print is more than the design needs.
- A design to test at 1pc before a peak-season run.
Heat transfer vs all-over / sublimation
- Heat transfer suits placed graphics (chest, sleeve, back) rather than designs that must cover the whole garment.
- All-over and sublimation routes suit designs that run across seams and panels, and depend on the fabric direction.
- The route for an order is confirmed from the artwork, placement and garment.
