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.
