WHAT HEAT PRESS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?

As part of the Stahls' group, we are proud to supply the UK with the world's leading Heat Presses from Hotronix®. On our website you will find our range of heat presses including Clam, Swinger, Draw and Air-powered Heat Presses. With functionality and price points to suit any business.

WHAT FABRICS CAN I APPLY TO?

Cotton and cotton polyester blends are the most common fabrics for headwear, especially five and six panel caps. Always test before applying a transfer or a badge on a test item before production. Badge and cap thickness can vary and so the time and temperature that your item requires may also vary. Maximum  wash temperature 40°c, iron on reverse, do not tumble dry or dry clean.
