Plastisol Transfer

The professional standard for durable textile finishing with brilliant colors

What is Plastisol Transfer?

Plastisol transfer is a professional screen printing-based method. The motif is printed in mirror image onto special transfer paper using PVC-based plastisol inks. The finished transfer is then heat-applied to the textile.

The result is an extremely durable, brilliant print that withstands even frequent industrial washes - making it ideal for workwear, uniforms and team apparel.

Advantages of Plastisol Transfer

Why leading companies rely on this method

Brilliant Colors

Opaque colors that shine even on dark textiles. Excellent color matching to corporate designs and Pantone specifications.

Extreme Durability

Withstands industrial washing at 60°C. No cracking, peeling or fading even after years of intensive use. Boil-wash resistant transfers available on request.

Fine Details

Sharp contours and precise reproductions. Small fonts, fine lines and complex logos are no problem.

Economical at Volume

The screen preparation is quickly amortized over larger quantities. From approx. 50 pieces, plastisol is significantly cheaper per unit.

Storable Transfers

Produce transfers in advance and apply as needed. Ideal for JIT delivery or seasonal demand peaks.

Fast Application

Application in seconds with a heat press. Easy even for decentralized finishing or last-minute customizations.

Cost-Effective at Higher Volumes

The initial costs for screen preparation (per color) are distributed across the entire quantity. The more pieces you order, the lower the cost per unit - making plastisol unbeatable for medium to large volumes.

Tip: For small quantities under 50 pieces, consider DTF transfer - no setup costs and still high quality. Learn more about DTF →
