How To Apply Our Iron On Transfers

Looking to personalise clothing at home with an iron on transfer? Follow our simple, reliable steps to get perfect results using just your household iron. 

What You’ll Need:

Your iron on transfer

A flat pressing surface either an ironing board, kitchen marble worktop or any firm surface that is heat resistant.

A household iron (no steam setting)

Garment or fabric (100% cotton or cotton blend is ideal)

Parchment paper (included for heat protection)

Step 1: Preheat the Iron

Set your iron to the highest temperature suitable for cotton (around 160–180°C) and ensure that the steam function is turned off. Allow it to heat up for 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare Your Garment

Lay your fabric flat and give it a quick press for 10 seconds to remove any creases. Ensure the area where your iron on transfer will go is smooth and clean.

Step 3: Position the Transfer

Place the iron on transfer face-down (design side touching the garment). Make sure it’s properly aligned and centred.

Step 4: Apply Heat

Cover the transfer with the included parchment paper. Firmly press down with the iron  for 12 seconds and apply a firm even pressure.

Step 5: Repeat for Full Coverage

Lift the iron and move to the next section of the transfer. Repeat the pressing action until you’ve covered the entire design.

Step 6: Cool & Peel

Let the garment cool for 30–60 seconds until it is warm to the touch before slowly peeling away the backing paper. If any parts lift, re-cover with parchment and apply pressure again for 5–10 seconds.

Step 7: Final Press (Optional)

For a more durable finish, place parchment paper over the applied iron on transfer and give it a final 5-second press..

Aftercare Tips:

Wash inside out on a cold or 30°C cycle

Do not tumble dry

Iron inside out—never directly on the transfer

Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners
