2. Durability For Days

Screen printed transfers can be extremely durable. Choose a product formula option that uses an adhesive powder, which will create a strong grip on the garment once applied. Howard Multi-Purpose is an option that will provide a durable finish that will often outlast the life of the garment itself.

Most custom screen printed heat transfer products from major industry suppliers have been tested through at least 50 wash cycles.

Pro tip: Provide your customers with care instructions to ensure they get the most life out of their custom applications.

3. Very Versatile

With a solution for nearly any garment decorating need, custom screen printed heat transfers are incredibly versatile. These days, almost any fabric substrate can be heat applied. Newer low-temperature application heat transfer products have opened up possibilities for decorating on fabrics that were once considered too heat sensitive. Our newest product option, Evergreen, is a water based formula that applies as low as 270° F.

Pro tip: Delicate fabrics deserve a delicate application. When decorating lightweight cotton and tri-blends, try a hot split transfer like Howard Hot Peel, which does not use a powder adhesive. This provides a super soft hand feel application.

4. Easy Does It

Ordering and applying custom screen printed heat transfers couldn’t be easier. Simply send artwork to your supplier, and they will ship your custom transfers—ready to apply. No need to spend hours cutting and weeding. No exposing and reclaiming screens in a messy shop. All you need is your heat press.

Pro tip: Invest in a high-quality heat press. This is the most essential piece of equipment you purchase. Not only will a quality press help you achieve quality applications, but it will save you time and money in the long run.

5. Efficiency is Key

Time is money. There’s no more efficient use of your time than using screen printed heat transfers. With products like Endure applying in as little as four seconds, you can decorate upwards of 100 garments with a single location in less than one hour, including set up and dwell time.
