Heat Transfer

Our heat press services are perfect for producing vibrant, detail-rich prints with low minimums and fast turnaround. Unlike screen printing, which is most cost-effective for larger runs, heat transfers allow for sharp, full-colour results even on smaller orders or technical fabrics.

We run six professional heat press machines in our Dunedin facility, giving us the flexibility to decorate everything from T-shirts and hoodies to tote bags, caps, and uniforms.
