Heat Press Print For Work Uniforms

What is heat press print?

Heat press print is a popular method for transferring designs onto various materials, such as personalised t-shirts, hats and bags. It’s a viable alternative to other garment customisation options including embroidery and screen printing.

The heat press print technique involves the use of custom heat transfers, which are pre-printed designs on special transfer paper. During the heat transfer printing process, the design is placed onto the material, and a heat press machine applies high pressure and heat to embed the design permanently.

Heat transfers offer a cost-effective solution for producing high-quality, durable prints with vibrant colours and intricate details. Whether you're a small business owner looking to create custom work uniforms for your staff or a large mining company seeking heavy-duty workwear solutions, heat transfer printing provides an accessible and versatile option. Using heat press print, you can achieve professional results with designs that stand out and last through multiple washes for years to come.

How does heat press print work?

The process begins with custom heat transfers, which are one-off images or designs set on special transfer paper with heat-resilient dyes. The heat transfers are placed onto the fabric with the design facing down, and a heat press machine applies high temperature and pressure to fix the design onto the material. The design is embedded deep into the fibres of the material and permanently bonds to the fabric.

This process is quick and effective. And since the designs are durable, they look great wash after wash, making heat transfer perfect for uniforms. As a wide variety of materials can be used, heat transfer printing is also versatile and can work for a wide range of garments and other items.
