Our base plates for the STX cap press have been wrapped in teflon to protect the plate and make it easier to slide the hat on

The reason dye is released from the shirt is from the way sublimation is done. High heat opens up the cells in the garment for the sublimation ink to enter into. As the garment cools the cells close locking the colour in. That's why when we then heat press a transfer on, the heat reopens the garment's cells allowing some of the ink to be released. The ink used in our high quality transfers is heat resistant so it is very unlikely for the ink from the transfer to bleed into the garment.

Hello! Do you know the material of the bags? Since you are familiar with it Cricut vinyl should be fine for your natural fabrics. Cricut vinyls can struggle with your more intricate designs though and I'm not sure how they perform on synthetic materials. Would depend on your heat press as well.

Hello, we only make the transfers to go onto the bags - we don't do the decorating. We sell the transfers to decorators, uniform shops etc If you are looking for a supplier who can provide you with branded string book bags send us through your details and we can put you in touch with a decorator in your area.

Cold peel transfers have a more matt finish once pressed onto the garment and, in my opinion, a nicer feel. It is also easier to press - our hot peel transfer needs to be peeled immediately after pressing so is less forgiving. The hot peel suits a lot of our customers from a productivity perspective as it it a quicker process from press to peel. Whereas we have a lot of customers who prefer the cold peel as it allows more consistency with the peel as you can set the garments aside and peel once the garments have cooled back down to room temp.

That is a great tip Shawn. Definitely worth being on the safe side with expensive team wear.

Second press is recommended however not required. The second press will give the transfer a nice natural texture that blends with the garment however if you have a large run you need to do you probably won't have time to do a 2nd press and that is totally fine. Hand feel is a beautiful, soft, semi-matte finish.

Hi Josh, great question. I will consult our lamination gurus on Monday and will get back to you asap.

Hi Josh, our team have suggested to try adding more pressure. Also check if there is any bald spots on your roller. Typically when you don't loosen the roller when you're finished with it you can get bald spots causing it to not be an even laminate.

@@velflex.australia ah alright, thanks for the help!

Hello, great question. Most of our vinyls are a 12 second press @ 150°C using medium pressure (6 bar). When pressing onto synthetic garments you can reduce the press time as synthetics heat up a lot quicker than natural fabrics. Our UltraColour digital screen printed transfers only require a 10 second press. When you order our transfers you will receive pressing instructions specific to the product ordered.

From the prints we've done solid colours have looked excellent. Some transfer films can make the transfer appear a little grainy but once pressed it's barely noticeable. The film we have settled on produces excellent results. I'll find some close up photos of solid colours to send through.

Depends on what the zip is made from. Some zips can handle heat better than others. If you zip looks like its plastic then it probably will melt. In this video Zoe used an application pad to raise the transfer area of the left chest so there wouldn't have been heat applied directly to the zip in this case anyway.

Hello! Would you like the price for the CJV150 unit or price for individual heat transfers?

My cost is around. 0.78 a Square foot. USD

Hi Andrew, we sure do. www.velflex.com.au/search?keywords=silicon

Great question! In terms of longevity and stretch, Screen Print and our UltraColour transfers are more durable due to the white vinyl base layer, whereas DTF and DTG use pigment inks which aren't as solid. Longevity depends on how much wear the garment gets, how often it goes through the wash and the quality of the transfer press onto the garment. Screen print and UltraColour usually lasts 50+ washes. DTG and DTF are wash tested for a little less than that but you can still typically expect them to last as long as the garment.

We sell the Flexible Application Pads in 2 sizes on our website - Large (for shirts etc) is $95+GST; and Small (for caps) is $32+GST

Hi Ezra, can you please clarify what you mean? We recommend the numbers be around 20cm high and the letters 5-6cm high.
