What Are Iron on clothing labels, or Heat Transfer Labels?
Iron on clothing tags are also known as heat press transfers, tag-less, sew free label or iron on labels. It is a process that imprints a design onto an item through the use of heat and pressure. Often the design is printed onto a paper or a synthetic carrier and then applied to the desired item, most commonly textile products that are going to be in direct contact with the skin, such as underwear, swimwear, sportswear & t-shirts.
Heat transfers are designed to last the lifetime of a product and this longevity is often vital when it comes to clothing; if the transfer is not a focal point of the garment then it is likely to contain important information such as brand, size, washing instructions, fabric content and other product details.

No commercial grade equipment is needed for the application process, just a simple household iron will be sufficient for most types. For specialty transfers, high volume orders and faster processing, a commercial heat press is recommended.
