Step-by-Step Application Guide

- Prepare the garment: Place it on a heat-resistant flat surface. Pre-press for a few seconds to prepare the fabric for transfer.
- Apply heat: Use a heat press or iron, and follow specific instructions for your vinyl type.

Care instructions: wash garments inside-out, avoid high tumble dryer heat, and do not iron directly over the design.
