Heat Transfers are often referred to as "Iron-ons" or "Decals".
Images are output from an ink jet printer onto special transfer paper which is trimmed and applied to the garment with a heat press. We offer 2 different types of image transfers: one which has a transparent background that works on white or light colored garments, and another which has an opaque white background that works on dark colored garments.
Personalized Heat Transfer Names and Numbers can be custom cut from vinyl and other materials. There is even a style that simulates embroidery applique. This is great for team uniforms and Greek letters for Fraternities and Sororities.
There is no minimum for heat transfers and you can get full color photos and graphics, but you cannot color match and the design must fit on 8.5" x 11" letter size paper. Heat Transfers will hold up to repeated wash and wear if cared for properly but they are not as durable and permanent as screen printed inks.
