Prepare a clean, flat panel
Check the fabric care label, remove moisture or wrinkles as directed, and keep seams or pockets out of the decoration field. Mark alignment before placing the carrier.
Press without shifting the design
Use the transfer supplier's process for protective sheet, dwell, pressure and peel. If a motif is larger than the press platen, plan how to cover it evenly instead of sliding an unsecured carrier.
Inspect and document
Check every edge after cooling, then test the garment under its intended care conditions. If an area lifts, investigate pressure and contact before changing temperature.
Field exercise
Make the operator handoff explicit
A test may pass in the sample room and fail in a larger run if the production team receives only a temperature number. Pass on the transfer version, garment blank, placement reference, protective layer, full press cycle, peel condition and inspection standard. Demonstrate the process on a production blank and photograph the accepted result. Keep rejected trials with their settings so the team knows which adjustments were already ruled out.
Evidence to retain
- 01Confirm garment and transfer identity before setting up the press.
- 02Mark placement from stable garment references and record any size-specific adjustment.
- 03Inspect after cooling, then perform the agreed care test before declaring the process ready.
