What Is Heat Transfer Printing in Custom Clothing?
What Is It?
Heat transfer printing uses pressure and heat to apply designs (from vinyl or printed film) onto garments. It allows for bold color, sharp edges, and design flexibility.

This method supports name/number personalization, reflective finishes, and one-off graphic placement — all without full-screen setups.
