But you might be wondering, "What materials and fabrics are compatible with these heat transfer logos?"
We have the answers for you!
Standard Fabric Compatibility
Our comprehensive range of heat transfers, have been created to compliment a wide range of applications in the sports, fashion and workwear environments. They are fully compatible with the standard range of fabrics and garments most commonly utilised throughout these three key markets. Among the fabrics that our logos are fully compatible with, regardless of their construction (knit, woven or warp), we have:
- Cotton: The very common natural fibre, known for its comfort and breathability, cotton is a versatile and widely-used fabric in various clothing items items like T-shirts, denim jeans, dresses, casual shirts and undergarments in the fashion industry. Our heat transfer logos adhere perfectly to cotton materials, making them an ideal choice for casual and sporty designs.
- Polyester: This synthetic fabric is popular for its moisture-wicking properties and durability, making it a preferred choice for activewear like football jerseys, athletic shorts, moisture-wicking athletic tops and durable outerwear for various sports in the sport industry. Our logos bond effortlessly with polyester, ensuring your sports garments remain stylish and intact.
- Polyamide / Nylon: With its smooth texture and excellent strength, polyamide is commonly used in sportswear and outdoor apparel like running shorts, windbreakers, rain jackets, hiking pants and swimwear in the sport industry. The embellishment on polyamide can be challenging, but our special heat transfer logos adhere flawlessly to nylon, ensuring long-lasting performance for your activewear designs.
- Polypropylene: This synthetic hydrophobic fiber offers excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, allowing moisture to pass through and evaporate quickly. It's an ideal material for active underwear garments like thermal underwear, base layers and moisture-wicking inner garments in the fashion industry. However, printing on polypropylene can be challenging due to its low melting point. But our special heat transfer logos applied below 100°C adhere perfectly to this technical material, making them an ideal choice for casual and sporty designs.
- Mixtures: Many garments feature fabric mixtures, such as cotton-polyester or polyester-spandex, creating various clothing items like blended t-shirts, comfortable trousers, stretchy dresses and the construction of versatile outerwear like softshell jackets in the fashion and sport industries. Our heat transfer logos bond effortlessly with these materials, offering a perfect combination of comfort and functionality.
Non-Standard Applications: Specialized Solutions for Unconventional Materials
We understand that your creative projects may sometimes involve unique or non-standard materials. Sometimes, a particular heat transfer solution is required for specific situations. For instance, if you have a raincoat or specialized outdoor clothing that is coated to endure harsh weather conditions, it can be challenging to embellish the material.
We also recognize that certain industries, such as the motorsport sector, require flame-resistant garments to ensure safety. These specialized materials demand careful consideration when selecting a heat transfer solution. Whether it's flame-resistant racing suits or protective gear, our expert team is ready to tackle the challenge.
Free In-House Testing for Unique Materials and Fabrics
Our main goal is to seamlessly merge the aesthetics of our branding customizations with the functionality of your fabrics. However, it's essential to be cautious and check if your fabrics have undergone special treatments like durable water repellent (DWR), silicone softener, anti-iron, coating etc. In such cases, we highly recommend conducting pre-testing to ensure optimal results, enabling the identification of the right heat transfers for fabric treatment.
