Hot Peel Transfer

Maximize your production speed and achieve a smooth, vibrant finish with our premium hot peel transfers, designed specifically for high-volume custom apparel printing.

Key Features of Hot Peel Transfer

It is a versatile technology that combines the advantages of different transfer types and enables professional, durable, and visually refined prints.

Unlike hot split transfer, hot peel transfer includes a special adhesive layer applied over the color layer. This allows the transfer to be used on a wider range of fabrics and ensures that the print remains strong and durable across different materials.

For production, we use:

  • special hot peel transfer paper
  • dedicated hot peel inks

This combination ensures sufficient opacity and strong visibility of white ink, even on dark textiles.

A Balanced Solution Between Hot Split and Cool Peel

Hot peel transfer represents a compromise between hot split and cool peel technologies. It combines the speed and ease of application typical of hot split transfers with the precision and durability associated with cool peel solutions.

The result is a transfer suitable for a broad range of materials, delivering a high-quality finished product.
