Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand behind every transfer we print. If your order arrives with a print defect or doesn't match your approved file, contact us within 14 days with a photo and we'll reprint or refund the affected items - no hassle.

Because we print custom-to-order, we can't accept returns for buyer's-remorse or design errors in your uploaded file. Double-check your art before ordering.

Pressing Instructions
  1. Pre-press the garment - 5–10 seconds to flatten and remove moisture.
  2. Position the transfer - film side down, print facing the fabric.
  3. Press - approx. 300–320°F (150–160°C) for 10–15 seconds with medium-firm pressure.
  4. Peel -  hot peel to save your time
  5. Second press - re-press 5–10 seconds with parchment or a Teflon sheet to lock it in.

Settings vary by press and fabric - always test on a scrap piece first. Wash inside-out, cold, and avoid harsh dryers.
