8 Items to Customize with Your Heat Press that Aren’t T-Shirts

2. Jackets

Once considered a challenging application, jackets are now easier than ever with custom transfer options for waterproof substrates like nylon and polyester windbreakers.

Our top product picks: Evergreen, colorVIBE, Endure

3. Hats

No hat is off limits – foam trucker hats, twill snapbacks, brushed cotton caps, and more are all fair game! Our one word of advice: try to stick with a five-panel cap to avoid printing over the seam.

4. Wall Art

If you know how to stretch canvas onto a frame, you can apply transfers directly onto canvas before this process. Otherwise, you can choose to decorate canvas panels or even a high-quality, heavy weight paper that can be matted and framed.
