• Press for approximately 12 seconds. 
• Use medium to firm pressure. 
• Ensure the transfer receives even heat across the entire design. 

• Remove the carrier film immediately after opening the heat press. 
• Do not allow the transfer to cool before peeling. 
• Peel smoothly and consistently. 
• If the carrier film does not release properly, repress for several seconds and peel again. 

For the softest feel and maximum durability:

• Cover the design with parchment paper, butcher paper, or a Teflon sheet. 
• Press again for 3–5 seconds. 

To maximize the life of your custom apparel:

• Wait at least 24 hours before the first wash. 
• Turn garments inside out before washing. 
• Wash with cold or warm water. 
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. 
• Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry when possible. 
• Do not iron directly on the printed design. 

Heat presses vary by manufacturer, age, pressure settings, and calibration. Fabric blends can also react differently to heat. The settings above are intended as general guidelines and may require minor adjustments depending on your equipment and materials. We recommend testing one transfer before beginning large production runs.
