Heat transfer
Names, numbers and specialty placements.
Perfect for rosters, personalization and one-offs where every piece is a little different.
What heat transfer is
Heat transfer cuts names, numbers and specialty materials from vinyl or printed film, then presses each piece onto the garment by hand. It is the go-to when every piece is a little different, like a roster of player names or individually numbered staff shirts.
Because pieces are applied one at a time there is no per-color setup and no minimum. It also opens the door to specialty finishes, from reflective and metallic to soft-touch, that other methods simply cannot produce.
