HEAT SEALING SERVICE

When to choose Heat Sealing?

Heat sealing is the most cost effective way of putting your design on a small number of garments or on garments with a lining that are not suitable for screen printing. There are three types of heat seal techniques that we can use.

Screenprinted Transfers : This is where we can add full colour transfers that are printed offsite to any garment. We use this process when a design has more colours that we can print on our carousel or when the garment would not be able to be exposed to the curing temperatures of printed ink. This process allows us to heatseal full colour graphics up to A3 size. Call Aine for more details.

Polyesther Sublimation: Full colour designs gassed into 100% polyesther garments. This process allows us to add logos to polyester garments in up to A4 size. It can also be used to add designs to mugs.


Xpres Cut: This is where your logo is cut out of a foil in one colour at a time and heat sealed onto your chosen garment. This allows us to create a one or more colour logo and apply it to any garment including garments that are lined and not suitable for screen printing. This can be used for applying logos to nylon jackets, bags, umbrellas as well as shirts and sweatshirts. We can overlay two or 3 colours for a multi colour print but each colour is priced as a new logo.
