SUPACOLOR USA, Gardena, California, has introduced highperformance, water-based heat transfers that can be applied to nearly
all fabric types, according to the company.
Made in the United States, the transfers feature unlimited colors
and gradients, no traps or borders, elasticity and rebound capabilities,
and can be shipped as quickly as one day. There is no setup fee or
weeding needed, and the eco-friendly transfers don't contain PVC
and are under review for OEKO-TEK-100 certification.
The company offers transfers for apparel, headwear and promotional
products. The Supacolor Wearables and Sub Block transfers are suitable
for all fabric types, except those with waterproof coatings. They have
been tested in more than 50 domestic washes and feature good stretching
capabilities, according to the company. Supacolor Wearables transfers
are not suitable for use on fabrics that will experience dye migration,
while Supacolor Sub Block transfers inhibit dye migration.
Supacolor Headwear transfers will bridge the seam of a six-panel
cap without cracking and is suitable for a wide range of cap fabrics
with only one press needed in most cases, according to the company.
Supacolor Promo transfers, which have no stretch, are meant to be
applied to items that won't be washed, including tote and cooler
bags, umbrellas and more.
The transfers are available to dealers at the company's website
and via its distributor network. To become a Supacolor dealer, email
