What Is Heat Transfer Printing in Custom Clothing?

Heat Transfer

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.

What Makes It Versatile?

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

How We Do It at Mingxing?

We offer both vinyl cut transfers and DTF/Digital heat transfers. All pressing is handled in-house for durability and precise placement.
