To ensure your designs look professional and stand the test of time, we strongly recommend using a heat press for all our transfers. While a household iron might seem convenient, it cannot provide the consistent, high-pressure heat required to properly bond the adhesive to the fabric. Using an iron often leads to uneven application, which may cause your transfer to peel or crack after washing. For a durable, long-lasting finish that you can wear with confidence, a heat press is the way to go!
