How to Press Your T-Shirt - Perfect Press Guide

Getting the Perfect Press

Follow these instructions to achieve professional results every time you press your custom designs.

Pressing Instructions

Temperature: 300°F
Time: 10 seconds
Pressure: Medium to firm
Peel: Instant peel (hot peel)

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Preheat your heat press to 300°F and allow it to reach full temperature
  2. Prepare your garment by pre-pressing for 2-3 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles
  3. Position your transfer on the garment exactly where you want the design
  4. Press for 10 seconds with medium to firm pressure
  5. Peel immediately while the transfer is still hot (instant peel)
  6. Allow to cool completely before wearing or washing

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Design not adhering properly? Increase pressure or add 1-2 seconds to press time
  • Transfer film not peeling cleanly? Ensure you're peeling while hot and at the correct angle
  • Colors look faded? Check that your temperature is accurate with a heat gun
  • Wrinkles in the design? Make sure to pre-press your garment first

How to Use Build a Gang Sheet

Our Build a Gang Sheet feature allows you to maximize your transfer sheet and save money by combining multiple designs on one sheet.

A gang sheet is a single transfer sheet that contains multiple designs arranged efficiently. This allows you to:

  • Order multiple designs in one sheet
  • Reduce waste and save on costs

How to Build Your Gang Sheet

  1. Select your designs - Choose all the transfers you want to include
  2. Choose your sheet size - Select from available gang sheet dimensions
  3. Arrange your designs - Use our builder tool to position each design on the sheet
  4. Review and optimize - Make sure you're using the space efficiently
  5. Add to cart - Complete your order with your custom gang sheet


Gang Sheet Tips
