Good heat press vinyl and vinyl printing will endure years and years of use. While poor quality or even cheap vinyl may be subject to scratching, flaking and peeling through regular use and washing.
The vinyl products we supply are guaranteed to withstand regular wear and tear and regular washing. In many cases, iron-on transfers can last longer than many garment materials!
To be able to prolong the life of your vinyl or iron-on transfer design, you should always take extra care when ironing and washing your garments. Improper or hurried ironing technique may lead to damage or faster deterioration of your artwork.
You must also NEVER use garments with heat press vinyl in a dryer – and you should always turn your clothing inside out and wash on cold to mid-range heat (40˚C at most). These are good steps to take to ensure that your garments withstand years of use and enjoyment.
If for some reason HTV transfer slightly peeled off after washing then you can heat press or iron it over again and it will stick back. Don’t forget to use a protective sheet.
