How to apply for best results

1. Test the transfer on a scrap piece of fabric to confirm color, placement, and garment compatibility.
2. Pre-press the fabric to remove moisture and wrinkles for a flat, smooth surface.
3. Position the transfer on the garment and apply with a heat press or household iron according to your device’s guidelines.
4. Set the heat, time, and pressure as recommended by the heat press manufacturer to achieve peak color and durability.
5. Allow the garment to cool before handling, then peel the carrier sheet as directed (hot or cold peel depending on the transfer’s instructions).

Care and maintenance tips

• Turn the finished garment inside out and wash in cold water.
• Avoid high heat during the final dryer cycle to preserve color and detail.
• Follow the recommended care guidelines for best long-term results and to keep the design looking vibrant wash after wash.

Batch projects and color coordination

Plan ahead by organizing shirts by size and layout to streamline production and maintain color consistency across the whole crew. Grouping garments by color palette that echoes the gradient—from deep navy to turquoise to sandy neutrals—helps you achieve cohesive looks for every family photo, all while keeping the process efficient for small batches or DIY gear.
