Set Your Heat Press
Temperature: 290°F/144°C (275°F for 100% polyester)

2
Position the Transfer
Place the transfer design side up on the garment.
Cover the transfer with a Teflon sheet or parchment paper.
3
First Press
Press for 7-11 seconds. Sip some coffee.
4
Peel the Film
Peel the film instantly using a confident, quick, and smooth motion.
Do not peel slowly — this can cause the design to lift.
If using a home or non-commercial heat press, you may need to wait about 15 seconds before peeling.
5
Final Press
After peeling, cover the design again with a Teflon sheet or parchment paper and press for 5 seconds.
This step locks in the print and improves durability.
✅ Your garment is now ready to wear and wash!
