Here’s our top four heat transfer product picks for stocking your spirit wear store this school year:
1. Howard Multi-Purpose
Tried and true. Our best-selling Howard Multi-Purpose is a screen printed heat transfer that’s produced using the same plastisol ink as direct screen printing, meaning it provides the same look and feel without the hassle of doing all that work yourself.
Order in bulk and keep inventory in your store to print on demand. Howard Multi-Purpose is a budget-friendly option that can be ganged onto several sheet size options depending on the needs of your specific job.
We recommend using Howard Multi-Purpose to decorate anything from simple tees and sweatshirts to warm-up poly jerseys and uniforms. This product is perfect for classroom apparel, but durable enough for on-field use as well.
2. colorVIBE
Impressive and vibrant. colorVIBE offers a full-color option for decorating a wide range of substrates. Made using a hybrid technique, colorVIBE combines vivid digital printing with eco-friendly water based screen printing.
Available on a 12x18 gang sheet, colorVIBE presents the unique advantage to combine multiple jobs onto a single order, allowing you to save money.
Another distinct advantage to ordering colorVIBE, is the versatility. Not only can you heat press anything from tees and sweats, jerseys and uniforms, but with its low temperature 275F application, you can also decorate paper bags, boxes, polypropylene bags, and other heat sensitive materials.
3. Evergreen
Ideal for use on athletic wear, Evergreen provides incredible stretch and rebound. Evergreen is manufactured using an eco-friendly water based screen printed ink and can be ordered on two gang sheet sizes: 12.5x17.5 or 17.5x23.5, making it a great option for high-volume production.
Evergreen will deliver superior opacity, better edge detail, and the ability to decorate a wide range of end products including traditionally difficult to heat apply items such as coach’s jackets, windbreakers, warm up suits, heat sensitive jerseys, and more.
Another stark advantage of Evergreen is its low application temperature of just 270F for 7-10 seconds with a hot, instantaneous peel. This means the transfer will practically peel itself after the top platen moves away from the lower platen. Again, this makes Evergreen a great choice for polyester and heat sensitive fabrics as well as for high-volume production.
4. Vintage Wash
Something unique to offer your buyers, Vintage Wash is a screen printed heat transfer that provides a retro, bleed-through look. The ink is purposefully thinned out and transparent so that the color of the garment will show through once the transfer has been applied. This creates a lived-in feel that’s one-of-a-kind.
To take it a step further, Vintage Wash looks great with a distressed pattern laid over the top of the artwork. This is an optional step that adds to the retro, vintage vibe.
Like the rest of our transfers, Vintage Wash can be ordered in bulk and kept in inventory to print on demand and can also be ganged onto several sheet size options depending on the needs of your client or job.
