Digital Transfer
About the Technique
Digital transfer is a versatile branding technology where the design is printed in high resolution onto special transfer paper, and then applied to the product using heat press.
This allows full-colour graphics, gradients, illustrations and photographic detail that are difficult to achieve with screen printing or pad printing.
One of the key advantages of digital transfer is its flexibility – it can be applied to varied shapes, fabrics and accessories, including items that cannot be printed directly in a flat press.
Visual Result
The final image is vibrant, smooth and high-contrast, retaining clarity in even the smallest details.
The finish forms a thin, consistent coating that remains stable and durable during use.
