Transfer Printing

 

Screen transfer is a printing technique used in particular on fabrics.

How does it work?

The logo in vector format is first printed on a special transfer paper with silkscreen inks. At this point the sheet with the printed image is placed on the surface of the object to be customized, and both are inserted into the heat press. Here, pressure and high temperatures will cause the image to transfer to the surface of the object to be customized. Finally, the transfer paper is removed.

Some examples of application on promotional items

The transfer can be applied to fabric products, such as clothing, bags, shoppers, backpacks, umbrellas, aprons and much more.
