Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How are heat transfer labels applied?
Heat transfer labels are applied using a commercial heat press — no sewing required. The tagless label is positioned on the garment, then heat and pressure bond it permanently. Set your heat press to 320F or home iron to medium cotton setting. Press firmly for 15 seconds and let cool completely. That's it.
Q: Are heat transfer labels durable?
Yes. When properly applied, heat transfer labels are permanent and withstand commercial laundering. They're flexible and withstand cracking or fading over time. Our heat press labels are the standard labeling method for t-shirts, activewear and performance apparel brands.
How to Apply Heat Transfer Labels:
Attaching our heat transfer t-shirt labels is a breeze, whether you're using a heat press or a standard home iron. First, adjust your heat press to 320F or set your iron to a medium cotton level, ensuring there's no steam. Then, apply a firm pressure (around 10lb pressure) for about 15-20 seconds. Give the label some time to cool off entirely before you gently remove the plastic layer. To ensure the best adherence, avoid washing the garment for the first 24 hours after application.
Full Size T-Shirt Transfers
In addition to tagless labels for the neck area, we can also produce full size heat transfers for the main print on the front or back of t-shirts. Full size heat transfers don't have color limitations and can accommodate full color or photographic designs. Any heat transfer label over 6 inches is considered a full size transfer and are custom quoted based on your exact size, design and quantity. Use our contact us page to attach your design and request a price quote for heat transfers over 6 inches.
Why choose our heat transfer labels?
Our heat transfer labels are the top choice for tagless t-shirt branding. They are compatible with an array of t-shirt materials, like 100% cotton and cotton/poly blends, and suit almost any fabric that endures high iron or heat press temperatures. Our labels' plastisol ink is designed to flex with the garment, ensuring durability and resistance to cracking, making them perfect for sportswear. Additionally, they come pre-cut, eliminating the need for manual trimming and streamlining the application process.
Raised Silicone Heat Transfer Labels:
Raised silicone heat transfer labels are a popular choice in the apparel industry for adding a brand's logo to garments in a way that is both durable and tactile. Made from silicone, these labels can be heat-pressed onto fabric, creating a 3D effect that is visually appealing and easy to feel. They are renowned for their resistance to high temperatures, stretching, and washing, making them ideal for items like sportswear and outdoor apparel. The raised aspect of the label not only adds a unique texture but also enhances the brand's visibility and perceived quality. Use our contact us page to attach your design and request a price quote for silicone heat transfers.
Heat Transfer Label Size Versions
Our heat press labels for t-shirts offer some key options not possible with other suppliers. Most important, we offer the option to split your heat press labels into specific size versions (ex. S, M, L, XL). This allows you to get the best price for the total quantity ordered instead of requiring separate orders for each artwork version. If you need size versions, our artists will create the different versions for you when creating your digital proof if not already included in your artwork file. Simply select the number of versions required and list the sizes along with the quantity of each in the comment section. You will be able to check your size versions are set up correctly when you receive your digital proof for approval.
