Custom Puff Screen Print Transfers

Make your design pop! Custom puff screen print transfers in ONE puff ink color with raised, 3D texture. Add glitter for extra sparkle. Great for tees, sweatshirts, team gear and hats made of cotton or cotton/poly blends (we don't recommend puff on 100% polyester, so test press first). Bulk price breaks: the more you order, the less you pay per print!

WORKS ON

• 100% cotton

Puff is not recommended for 100% polyester. Check the garment's fabric content before you order and always test press one first.

HOW TO ORDER

1. Pick your pack size (every print in the pack is the SAME design).
2. Choose whether to add glitter.
3. Choose your puff ink color from the Puff Ink Color dropdown (see the color chart in the photos).
4. Upload your artwork on this page and tell us the width or height you want in the notes.
5. Need another design or color? Add it to your cart as a separate pack.

SIZE & PRINT AREA

• Your design can be any size up to 12" x 12".
• Each transfer is one design meant to be pressed in one spot (it isn't meant to be cut apart into smaller pieces).
• We print at the width or height you give us in the notes, so double check your measurement before checking out.

ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS

• We accept PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, PNG, JPG and TIFF files. For the cleanest print, send a vector file (PDF, AI or EPS) or a PSD. If you send a PNG, make it high resolution (300 DPI) with a transparent background. Using Corel Draw? Save your file as a PDF first.
• One solid color only. Bold graphics and lettering work best for puff.
• Keep lines at least 2 pt thick and open spaces (gaps inside letters and shapes) at least 4 pt wide. Skip fine details and small text; they won't puff well.
• Send your art the way it should read on the shirt. Please don't mirror it.
• If you build your design in a design program, convert or flatten your text so the fonts don't change.
• No screenshots or images pulled from social media.
• One design per pack. Designs cannot be mixed within a pack.

TURNAROUND

PRESSING

• Temperature: 350°F (puff needs the higher heat to rise)
• Time: 7 seconds
• Pressure: Heavy
• Peel: Hot, right away

1. Use a commercial heat press. Take off any teflon sheet, cover or pressing pillow; you don't need them, and they keep heat from reaching the transfer.
2. Pre-press the garment for 5-7 seconds to remove wrinkles and moisture.
3. Lay the garment flat with seams, zippers and buttons hanging off the edge of the platen so the press sits evenly.
4. Place the transfer ink side down, touching the garment (double check it isn't upside down).
5. Press at 350°F for 7 seconds with heavy pressure.
6. Open the press and peel right away while hot. Hold the garment steady and pull the paper back diagonally from one corner in one smooth, steady motion.

Pressing tips: Not enough pressure is the #1 reason a transfer doesn't stick, so make sure your press is set to heavy. An infrared temperature gun is an easy way to check that your press is heating evenly and really reaching 350°F. If your press runs a little cool, try going up about 10°F. Household irons and craft presses can't give enough pressure and may affect how well the print washes. Full details: Screen Print Pressing Instructions.

WASH & CARE

• Let your pressed garments lay flat for 24-48 hours to fully cure before folding or washing.
• Wash inside out in cold water.
• No bleach or fabric softener.
• Hang dry for the longest life, or tumble dry low.
• Do not iron directly on the design.

GOOD TO KNOW

• Ink colors may look slightly different on screen than in person.
• Because every order is custom made, custom transfers are not returnable or refundable.
• We are not responsible for transfers that are pressed incorrectly; please test press first.
