Inside Shirt Labels

Inside shirt labels including design brand, product information, wash instructions and/or size are becoming increasingly popular. Originally we screen printed these imprints. The drawbacks were immediately apparent.

• The plastisol prints could be kind of scratchy on the neck.
• Dark inks would show through light colored garments.
• Tiny letter were hard to hold.
• Each size would need its own screen, so the set up was laborious, in-efficient and cost prohibitive.

Heat Print

Heat pressing the tags was an obvious solution. Ink is printed on transfer paper, then each tag is cut out and pressed on the shirt.

• The transfers are soft and flexible - very comfortable.
• Only very dark ink on very thin shirts show on the outside. This is because the transfer sits on the t-shirt fibers instead of soaking in.
• By printing onto paper, we are able to hold smaller detail such as garment care info.
• Tags can be laid out with multiple sizes on the same screen. This means one screen and one set up.

The increased efficiency of the process means a lower cost to the same end, which, in turn saves you money!

We are able to apply heat-transfer tags to 16,000 garments per day!
