Screen Printed Transfer
Screen printed transfer combines the enduring finish of traditional screen printing with the versatility of a heat press application. This advanced method is an excellent solution for both large and small garment printing projects, providing a quick and precise way to apply intricate artwork.
Unlike conventional methods that require a complex setup for each garment, screen print transfers are pre-made, allowing for rapid application while maintaining high-quality results. They are especially well-suited for creating custom logo transfers, delivering sharp, detailed designs with a professional appearance that’s perfect for merchandise, uniforms, and branded apparel.
How Screen Printed Transfers Work
- Design is Printed: The process begins by printing your design onto a special release paper using plastisol transfers. This method ensures strong, vibrant colours and excellent detail, as the ink is applied to the paper first.
- Print is Applied: Once the design is ready, we apply it to your chosen garment using a professional heat press transfer machine. The heat and pressure activate the adhesive. This permanently bonds the ink to the fabric for a consistent, high-quality finish across every single item.
This method is incredibly efficient, making it ideal for quick print transfers and on-demand jobs.
Screen Print Transfers vs. Screen Printing
While screen printing is the most common technique for customisation, it is typically recommended for bulk orders of 50 units or more due to the associated set-up fees. It is known for producing long-lasting prints.
In contrast, screen printed transfers provide a practical and cost-effective alternative for smaller quantities, or for projects where you need to apply designs as needed. This makes them a more economical option, with the added benefit of quicker setup times.
Who This Method Is Ideal For
Screen printed transfers are a versatile solution for a wide range of needs.
- Businesses: It’s perfect for B2B clients who need consistent branding for uniforms or merchandise.
- Sports Teams: This method is an excellent choice for sportswear printing, as it allows for the uniform application of logos and numbers for entire teams.
- Event Organisers: This is a reliable option for event t-shirt printing when a fast turnaround and a uniform, vibrant look are essential.
- Individuals: It’s a great choice for personal projects or small businesses wanting to apply custom transfer prints as needed.
