LIMITATIONS:

The following instructions are for polyester or cotton garments.
For best results we recommend using a thermo couple and J wire to measure the glue line and ensure that heat is within appropriate range.
For top and bottom heat presses, covering the decoration with a thermal silicone rubber pad before heat pressing is recommended.
Don’t settle for industry standard screen print or direct embroidery offerings. Truly differentiate your product by adding premium appliques with an expansive range of materials.
