Step-by-Step Instructions
1Prepare Your Workspace
Set up your heat press or iron on a stable, flat surface. Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated.
Pro Tips:
- •Use a heat press for best results
- •If using an iron, avoid steam settings
- •Pre-heat your equipment for consistent temperature
2Prepare the Garment
Pre-press the garment for 2 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
Pro Tips:
- •Ensure the fabric is completely dry
- •Remove any lint or debris
- •For new garments, wash first to remove factory coatings
3Position the Transfer
Place the transfer face-down on the garment. Use alignment guides if needed.

5Peel the Carrier
While the transfer is still warm, peel the carrier film in one smooth motion.
Pro Tips:

- •Peel at a 45-degree angle
- •If the transfer begins to lift with the carrier, allow it to cool until it's safe to touch. Finish peeling, then press again for 5 seconds to lock in the transfer
Important: If transfer lifts with carrier, reapply heat and try again
6Final Press (Optional)
Apply a final 5-second press with parchment paper for best adhesion.
