What's the right formula for you?

We know it can be tricky to figure out which formula will be right for your application needs because there are so many choices to choose from.

Before we ever recommend a product there is some basic key information that we need to know:

  • What is the fabric content of the garment?
  • What color is the garment? If dye migration or opacity is a concern, this is very important.
  • How many colors are in your artwork?
  • Is your artwork single image or multiple images/logos/imprint locations?

Koozies, Canvas, Totes, Fleece:

You will need to know what fabric the item is made of in order to continue. Koozies are traditionally wrapped in 100% Polyester, but you will need to verify that information before ordering.


 

TRI-BLENDS:
We do not have a heat transfer formula option that is specifically formulated for tri-blend apparel. Any formulas you suspect may work will need to be tested on the tri-blend apparel before placing an order. If you haven't already, please order your sample pack here. Athletic may work for your Tri-Blend, but we recommend thorough testing before ordering for use on a Tri-Blend.
