Heat Transfer Printing
Heat transfer printing applies a pre-made design, vinyl cut graphic, or digitally printed transfer sheet onto a garment using heat and pressure. Because the artwork is prepared separately before it's pressed onto the fabric, this method is well suited to personalization work such as names and numbers, small production runs, and designs that call for specialty finishes like metallic, glitter, or reflective materials.
