Heat transfer labels

(also known as HEAT SEAL and TAG LESS) are one the most popular labels in the apparel market. From simple camp labels through name labels, swimwear, athletic, dancewear, lingerie, babywear to a brand label, heat transfers have become the “I want it now” product.

There are a variety of heat transfer labels offered by many manufacturers. It may be difficult and confusing to search for the right one. To start the search for right transfer label, you need to know your fabric composition (content). Not all transfers label are the same and work the same. Some require higher heat and more pressure to adhere while others require the garment to be preheated in order to work properly.

Heat transfer labels are very durable and can withstand dozens of wash/dry cycles without fading, cracking or splitting. Any type of design can be made as a heat transfer. No commercial grade equipment is needed for the application process, just a simple household iron will be sufficient for most types. For specialty transfers, high volume orders and faster processing, a commercial heat press is recommended.

What Are Heat Transfer Labels?

Heat transfers are also known as heat press transfers, tag-less, sew free label or iron on labels. It is a process that imprints a design onto an item through the use of heat and pressure. Often the design is printed onto a paper or a synthetic carrier and then applied to the desired item, most commonly textile products that are going to be in direct contact with the skin, such as underwear, swimwear, sportswear & t-shirts.

Heat transfers are designed to last the lifetime of a product and this longevity is often vital when it comes to clothing; if the transfer is not a focal point of the garment then it is likely to contain important information such as brand, size, washing instructions, fabric content and other product details.

How Do You Apply Heat Transfer Labels?

  • Heat Transfers Garment tags can be applied using a household iron or commercial heat press.
  • The application will vary depending on the fabric composition as well type of the transfer label.
  • Always follow the manufacturers applying instructions.

HOUSEHOLD IRON – Using a household iron is very simple and does not require any technical skills. However make sure to test on a swatch or piece of similar fabric before full transfer application on your garment. This way you can avoid any mishaps and errors and you will be knowledgable about the pressure and time involved. Please note that not all heat transfers labels can be applied by household iron. Please contact your transfer manufacturer for specific instructions if you are unsure.

MANUAL HEAT PRESSES – Using manual heat presses are easy to use and suitable for those who print regularly but in smaller quantities. Place the garment and heat transfer label on the press and apply the print by lowering the upper platen until it locks into position. The press gives you some help with applying pressure, but some manual pressure is required. Again, it is always a good idea to do some testing prior to your project to make sure the press and transfer are working properly.

PNEUMATIC HEAT PRESSES -Pneumatic heat presses use a compressor instead of a manual handle or lever. Buttons and digital settings control the pressure, heat and timing of your printing operation. You do not need to use manual power with a pneumatic press. High frequency heat presses are widely used by athletic wear companies and any project with high volume manufacturing.

Investing in a commercial heat press machine will provide a very cost effective and practical method of the application of your tagless transfers. When investing in a heat transfer machine it is vital that you spend your money wisely, ensuring that you get the best machine for your money, one that will produce high-quality transfers at a fast rate.

Three main key components to consider when using commercial heat press are:

  1. Time = amount of time, in seconds, that heat must be applied to the garment
  2. Temperature = optimal degree at which transfer will adhere to the garment
  3. Pressure = amount of downward force needed when applying heat

Here are some key factors when choosing the right heat press:

  • Space = How much space do you have in your work area?
  • Production = How much/often will you use a heat press?
  • Size = What type of garments are you decorating?
  • Experience = How much experience do you have working with a heat press?
  • Cost = How much do you want to invest in your heat press equipment?

The paper is passing through a dryer where the ink heated until it has sets just enough to be dry to the touch.
