Why Transfers?
There are a few different types of transfer printing, but they all involve printing the design onto a transfer then using heat to seal it onto the surface of the fabric.
Transfer printing is a cost-effective method that’s great for even the smallest print runs, or for orders with individual designs or names.
It’s a good option if you need accuracy – for example, for artwork that features lots of intricate detail or small text.
We often recommend transfer printing for items that have an awkward shape, or fabrics with a high plastic content.
When To Use Another Process
Transfer print can be used for both small runs or large volumes – it’s up to you.
The transfer sits on top of the product and will have a small keyline around the edge, which can be either clear or colour matched to the product.
Some people aren’t keen on this finish – if you’d prefer not to have a keyline, you could look into direct-to-garment printing, screen printing or dye sublimation.
