Low Temperature Transfer

Protect delicate, heat-sensitive synthetics from scorching and dye migration with our specialized low temperature transfers.

Low-Temperature Adhesive Technology

It is specifically developed for materials that cannot withstand high heat press temperatures, while still ensuring a high-quality and durable print. The transfer is finished with a polyester adhesive layer that begins to melt at approximately 130 °C, enabling safe and efficient application. The key advantage of low temperature transfer lies in its special polyester adhesive layer, which activates at lower temperatures. This means:

  • reduced thermal stress on the material
  • lower risk of fabric damage
  • minimized risk of visible heat press marks
  • improved control when working with sensitive materials

The lower transfer temperature preserves the structure and appearance of the material.

Compatibility with Various Techniques

Low temperature transfer can be combined with different transfer types. It is most commonly used in combination with:

  • Cool Peel transfer
  • Water based transfer

This approach combines the benefits of low transfer temperature with premium print quality and durability.

Examples of Applications

Low temperature transfer is suitable for printing on heat-sensitive materials such as:

  • non-woven textiles
  • umbrellas
  • backpacks and bags
  • jackets
  • caps
  • cotton bags

In certain cases, it can also be used for printing on cardboard or paper, although prior material testing is required.

Application Instructions

For optimal results, we recommend the following parameters:

  • Temperature: 130–160 °C
  • Time: 9–12 seconds
  • Peel: hot or cold (depending on the transfer type)

Exact settings are adjusted according to the material and the selected transfer combination.

Frequently Asked Questions

A low temperature transfer is a heat transfer solution designed to be applied at lower pressing temperatures. It allows safe printing on heat-sensitive materials while still delivering durable and high-quality results.

The transfer uses a special polyester adhesive layer that begins to melt and activate at around 130 °C, allowing effective bonding with the material without exposing it to excessive heat.

Lower temperatures reduce the risk of damaging delicate fabrics and help preserve the original structure, color, and surface appearance of the material.

They reduce heat stress on fabrics, lower the risk of textile damage, minimize visible press marks from the heat press plate, and provide better control when printing on sensitive materials.

Yes. When applied with the correct parameters, they offer strong adhesion and long-lasting durability comparable to traditional transfer solutions.

They are ideal for heat-sensitive materials such as non-woven fabrics, umbrellas, backpacks, bags, jackets, caps, and cotton shopping bags.

Yes. They are often used for technical or coated materials that could deform or lose their structure when exposed to higher temperatures.

In some cases, low temperature transfers can also be used on materials like cardboard or paper. However, compatibility testing is recommended before production.

Low temperature technology is most commonly combined with cold peel (CP) transfers and water-based transfers to achieve both lower application temperatures and high print quality.

Yes. Because they require less heat, the risk of leaving visible press plate marks on the material is significantly reduced.

Yes. Lower temperatures provide better control and reduce the risk of stretching, shrinking, or damaging lightweight and delicate textiles.

Typical transfer settings include 130–150 °C temperature, 9–12 seconds pressing time, with hot or cold peel depending on the transfer type used.

Yes. Exact settings may vary depending on the fabric type, coating, and the specific transfer combination used.

They are widely used in promotional products, accessories, workwear, outdoor products, and technical textiles that require careful heat application.

Low temperature transfers are the best choice when working with sensitive materials, technical fabrics, coated textiles, or products where minimizing heat exposure is essential.
