Heat Transfer Decals
What is Heat Transfer Decal Decorating?
Heat transfer decal decorating is a dry process that uses preprinted decals to decorate a particular part. Heat transfer decals provide a high quality screened image that is permanently bonded to a part by way of the hot stamping process. Before the decals can be applied to a part, the part to be decorated is analyzed so that the proper ink - lacquer - carrier construction is selected. The heat transfer decals are then printed on large gravure or screen printers on large sheets.
The cost of the heat transfer decals is dependent on size, number of colors in the image, and quantity ordered. Since the heat transfer decals are preprinted, single color or multicolor images can be transferred to the part in one hit. In addition, since multicolor images can be printed in one hit, heat transfer decals can be a cost-effective method for medium to large runs. Heat transfer decals can be applied to many substrates such as plastics, wood, coated metals, glass, painted products, leather, fabrics, and rubber.
