Heat Press Guide (Performance Tops / Stretch Knits)

Below are reference settings. Final parameters should be confirmed with your sample and fabric.

General Heat Press Reference

• Temperature: 130–150°C

• Time: 8–15 seconds

• Pressure: medium

• Peel: hot peel or cold peel (confirm by sample)

• Optional re-press: 2–3 seconds with a protective sheet (improves bonding & edge finish)

Notes for Stretch Jerseys / High-Stretch Knits

• Use a protective sheet to reduce gloss marks on technical knits

• Avoid excessive pressure to prevent knit flattening or shine

• Always test on dark dyed fabrics first for best appearance and bonding stability

Simple Application Steps

1. Pre-press fabric 2–3 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles

2. Place logo in position (follow sample orientation)

3. Press at recommended settings

4. Peel carrier film as specified (hot/cold peel per sample)

5. Optional: re-press 2–3 seconds using a protective sheet

Common Issues & How to Prevent Them

• Shine marks on fabric: lower pressure slightly, use protective sheet

• Edge lifting: confirm peel type, add short re-press, ensure proper pressure

• Weak adhesion: confirm fabric compatibility (coating/DWR may require testing)

• Distortion on stretch fabric: avoid over-stretching fabric during placement; test best settings

Fabric Compatibility (Important)

Works well on many performance knit fabrics, including polyester jersey and blended stretch knits.
For coated, DWR-treated, or special-finish fabrics, adhesion can vary-testing is strongly recommended before bulk production.

If you share your fabric composition and finish, we can recommend the most suitable construction and press settings.

Durability & Care Recommendations

Durability depends on fabric, application settings, and wash conditions. For best results:

• Wait 24 hours after pressing before first wash

• Turn garment inside out; gentle cycle; avoid bleach

• Low tumble or hang dry preferred

• For team kits or frequent-wash programs: request PPS testing and we'll recommend the best construction

FAQ (Running / Cycling Brands)

1) Is this suitable for running tops and cycling jerseys?
Yes-this product is designed for performance apparel applications. We recommend sample testing on your exact knit fabric for best results.

2) Rainbow or Honeycomb-which is more "high impact"?
Rainbow is the most expressive and eye-catching. Honeycomb is technical and premium-looking with strong structured reflection.

3) Will it feel stiff on lightweight jerseys?
It's designed to be thin and low-bulk. Hand-feel depends on logo size and fabric weight; we can suggest optimal sizes and constructions.

4) Can it be applied on poly-spandex / nylon-spandex?
Often yes, but bonding varies by finish/coating. Sample testing is recommended for nylon blends and specialty finishes.

5) How do we avoid gloss marks on performance knits?
Use a protective sheet, avoid excessive pressure, and confirm settings by sample.

6) What press settings do you recommend for sports jerseys?
Use the reference settings (130–150°C, 8–15s, medium pressure) and confirm peel type by sample.

7) Hot peel or cold peel-how do we know?
Peel type depends on construction; we confirm it during sampling and provide a simple application note.

8) How can we prevent edge lifting?
Confirm peel type, ensure correct pressure, and add a short re-press with a protective sheet if needed.

9) Can you provide a sample card for our design team?
Yes-sample card options are available (share your preferred effects and logo size range).
