Iron On
Iron On, also known as heat transfer vinyl or heat transfer vinyl, is ideal for personalizing textiles quickly and permanently. In this category you will find different variants - from simple single-colored films to shiny Metallic effects and patterned samplers. The foil is suitable for many DIY projects: printed T-shirts, personalized baby bodysuits, decorative cushions, fabric bags or homemade accessories.
What is Iron On suitable for?
Iron On is particularly practical if you want to produce small runs, individual pieces or personalized gifts. Heat transfer vinyl adheres reliably to cotton, many blended fabrics and pre-washed clothing; there are special, gentler variants for delicate fabrics. There are both permanent and easily removable types - depending on how permanent you want your design to be.
How to apply Iron On
Application is easy and fun. This procedure is generally recommended:
- Mirror the design (for text) and cut out with a cutting machine or scissors.
- Weed out the excess film so that only your design remains on the carrier film.
- Position the motif on the clean, dry fabric and fix with an iron or heat press - use protective paper or baking paper.
- Allow to cool or remove according to the manufacturer's instructions; repress if necessary.
Important: Test pieces are useful because adhesion and appearance vary depending on the material. Always observe the care instructions and washable limits of your chosen film.
