Heat Transfer Projects
A flexible way to bring designs to apparel and personalized pieces.
Heat transfer is a customization process where an appropriate design is applied to an appropriate item using heat. It can be a versatile option for names, lettering, graphics, and certain design styles that may not be suited to other methods.
Rather than a single fixed look, heat transfer can adapt to a range of project types — from a single personalized piece to coordinated apparel for a group.

Choosing a Method
Heat transfer or embroidery?
Embroidery and heat transfer create different appearances and may be appropriate for different projects. Embroidery produces a stitched, dimensional finish, while heat transfer applies a design to an appropriate item using heat. The right choice depends on the item, design, and the look you want.
