The Process of Vinyl Heat Transfer Printing

How it Works?

Vinyl heat transfer is known for its accuracy and resilience, making it a preferred method for adding detailed designs to clothing. It is particularly effective on materials like cotton, polyester, and blends, commonly used for sports jerseys, custom t-shirts, singlets and corporate apparel because they can handle frequent washing and extensive wear. The technique involves cutting designs from a coloured vinyl sheet and using a heat press to permanently bond them to the fabric, keeping the design intact over time.

step-1-design-creation

Design Creation

The design is created and printed onto a vinyl heat transfer material using a vinyl cutter or printer.

step-2-preparing-the-t-shirt

Preparing the T-Shirt

Place the pre-sewn t-shirt on the heat press, ensuring it is flat and wrinkled-free.  

step-3-Positioning the Vinyl

Positioning the Vinyl

Carefully align and place the vinyl transfer on the t-shirt with the adhesive side facing down.

step-4-Applying Heat and Pressure

Applying Heat and Pressure

Use the heat press to apply heat and pressure, bonding the vinyl design to the t-shirt.

step-5-Peeling Off the Backing

Peeling Off the Backing

After the heat pressing, the carrier or backing sheet is peeled off, leaving just the vinyl design to the t-shirt.

step-6-Post-Press Finishing

Post-Press Finishing

Additional trimming or finishing may be required to refine the edges of the printed t-shirt.

step-7-Durability of Vinyl

Durability of Vinyl

Heat transfer vinyl is robust and endures many washes but may peel or crack over extended wear.

step-8-Final Product Quality

Final Product Quality

The result is a t-shirt with a vibrant, textured vinyl design applied on top of the fabric rather than embedded into it like with sublimation.

Potential Limitations of Vinyl Heat Transfer Printing

What are the Possible Disadvantages?

  • Not good for bulk orders in terms of cost-effectiveness, due to the labor needs of the process.
  • Because of the cutting process, vinyl transfers are not the best choice for designs with rough, transparent or jagged lines.
  • Available colour choices are limited to the stock of vinyl that we have. Because of this, colour matches are not always possible.
  • Designs have to be supplied in vector format or converted before they can be cut.
  • Artwork must be supplied in or converted to a vector format before cutting can take place.
  • Artwork approvals are only provided for orders of 15 units and over.
