# 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**.
