Screen Print Transfers

Key Features

• Ideal for detailed designs and multi-colour prints.
• Can be pre-made and stored for future use, offering flexibility for on-demand printing.
• Works well on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends.

Durability

Screen print transfers are highly durable, often lasting as long as direct screen printing. With proper care (cold washing and avoiding high heat in dryers), the design can stay vibrant for years without significant cracking or peeling.

Puff Transfers

Puff transfers are heat transfer designs created using puff inks. These inks expand and rise when heat is applied, creating a 3D, raised texture on the fabric. Puff transfers are trendy for adding dimension and a unique tactile element to designs.

Key Features

• Creates a 3D, raised effect that stands out visually and physically.
• Works best on flat, smooth fabrics for a clean and bold look.
• Commonly used for fashion-forward designs or to highlight specific elements of a graphic.

Durability

Puff transfers are also long-lasting but require careful washing to maintain the raised effect. Excessive heat, aggressive washing, or stretching the fabric too much can flatten the puff over time. When cared for properly, the design remains intact and vibrant for years.

Care Tips for Longevity

With proper care, these transfer methods can maintain their quality and appeal for many washes, ensuring a long-lasting finish. For both screen print and puff transfers:

• Wash garments inside out in cold water.
• Use mild detergents and avoid bleach.
• Air dry or use low heat in the dryer.
• Avoid ironing directly over the design.
