Heat Transfer labels, also known as “tag-less tags“, are a great option for customers who want to brand their clothing without the bulk of a woven or printed label.
The heat transfer tags use flexographic ink and are Pantone color matched. They are silk screened onto a clear vellum backing and come pre-cut and ready to apply. Heat transfer labels are best on sporty t-shirts, athletic wear or baby items like newborn bodysuits. The heat transfers are easy to apply using a regular household iron or an industrial heat press (recommended for best results).
You can print up to four colors for heat transfer labels on simple designs. We can also source full-color heat transfer printing- ask a sales rep for more information.
The heat transfers are very high quality and stand up through dozens of washes without fading or chipping away.

Most people go straight into production which takes about 10-14 business days. We don’t usually sample heat transfer labels, printed labels or hang tags since they are printed per your digital art proof. We can send you free, general samples that we have produced in the past so that you can test them on your garment. If you need custom samples per your design, please note there is a sampling fee and additional turnaround time.
Yes, we can do size and color splits within your ordering quantity for an additional fee. Please talk to one of our sales reps to see how we can accommodate your needs.
It is important to follow the below instructions exactly the guidelines given by us for secure, strong bonding:
1. Set iron or heat press to 302-320ºF (150-160ºC). Higher temperatures can melt vellum backing. If using a household iron, set the dial between the cotton and wool setting with NO STEAM.
2. Place heat transfer with the adhesive side down onto your garment or item. If the adhesive is exposed to the iron or press, the design will adhere onto the press and will be difficult to remove.
3. If using a heat press, press down for 8 seconds. If using a household iron, press FIRMLY, straight down avoiding sweeping motions, for 8-12 seconds.
4. Please follow the instruction below that has been ‘marked’ specifically for your label.
5. Store unused labels loosely in a box under cool temperatures.
