Vinyl or film transfer, also known as heat transfer vinyl (HTV), is a popular method for customising and printing designs on t-shirts, polo shirts, and other garments. It involves using a special type of vinyl material that is cut into the desired shape or design and then heat pressed onto the fabric.
The first step in vinyl transfer printing is having our in house design team create or prepare your design in consultation with you. The design is then sent to a vinyl cutter or plotter to precisely cut the design from the vinyl material. A heat press machine is used for the vinyl transfer process, using a sophisticated system to regulate temperature, pressure, and time to properly adhere the vinyl to the garment. The heat activates the vinyl’s adhesive causing it to bond with the fabric fibres.
Film transfer is an excellent choice for a professional and quality finish that is both durable and vibrant on almost any fabric type.
