Why custom transfers?

Quality

Custom heat applied transfers last just as long as direct-printed garments and often provide a more attractive finish that feels part of the garment.

Press on demand

If you are unsure how many of a particular garment you will need to make then screen printed transfers take the risk out. You only need to apply the transfer to the garment as and when you need it. If you do not use the transfer on your current range, they will be ready for the next one.

2-day turnaround
