STEPS TO ORDERING POLY-TRANSFERS

We hope these explanations will be informative and guide you comfortably through the process.  Our staff is always ready to answer your questions and guide you through the process.

STEP 1 - PROVIDE ARTWORK

You will need vector artwork of your logo, preferably as an .eps file.  It should be clearly marked with PMS colors and product sizing.

STEP 2 - HOW WILL THEY BE USED?

The ultimate use of your Poly-Transfers will determine many factors so this is very important to know.  Consult with your customer and make sure you can answer the following questions before requesting a quote.

What type of fabric(s) will they be applied to?

Is your customer okay with a slight, barely visible, glue edge showing around the edge or would they like a clear cut edge?

How will these be applied?  Will they be applying with a home iron or having commercial application?

Will they need reflective properties?

STEP 3 - CHOOSE YOUR BACKING

There are several types of backing available to suit your individual needs, each with it’s own unique characteristics and uses. However your Flex-tags will be used, we have the backing that’s perfect for you.

HEAT SEAL - Suggested when the poly-transfers will be applied to cotton, polyester, performance fabrics or most fabrics.  Discuss this before ordering.

WP HEAT SEAL - This is a heat seal for water proof, water repellent or some coated fabrics only.

If heat sealing Poly-Transfers to a product for the first time, we recommend requesting a sample to check adhesion before ordering if there is any question about which heat seal to use.
