Heat Press Instructions for Spangle Transfers

Follow these simple steps to ensure proper adhesion.

Remove the transfer backing, position the design adhesive-side down, press at 315°F for 15 seconds, let it sit for 15-30 seconds, and peel warm.

We recommend watching the video above for step-by-step pressing instructions

1. Prepare the Spangle Transfer

Carefully peel off the transfer's backing, ensuring that only the spangle design remains on the clear adhesive sheet. Handle the transfer gently to prevent shifting or misalignment. Before applying, check that the design is intact and free from dust or debris to ensure a smooth and even press.

2. Position the Transfer

Place the transfer adhesive side down onto the garment in your desired location, ensuring it is properly aligned. Smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles to create an even application and prevent lifting during pressing. If necessary, use heat-resistant tape to keep the transfer securely in place. Use our Alignment Ruler Set for more precise placement.

3. Press

Set the heat press to 315°F, and apply medium to firm pressure for 15 seconds. If you're using our Silicone Upper Platen Cover, set your heat press to 330°F.

4. Peel the Transfer

Allow the garment to sit for 15-30 seconds, giving the adhesive time to set. Then, carefully peel the carrier sheet while it is still warm, using a smooth and steady motion to prevent lifting. After peeling, inspect the design to ensure all spangles have adhered properly for a flawless finish.
