Welcome to the latest edition from J-Long, where innovation meets style in heat transfer technologies. Explore a diverse range of cutting-edge effects—from metallic and matte finishes to dynamic, 3D design. Whether you're working on sportswear, fashion, or apparel, discover the techniques tailored to your brands’ personality.
Heat transfer film is a thin, flexible material, often made from TPU, PU, silicone, or foil, coated with a heat-activated adhesive and your chosen design. When heat and pressure are applied, the design—like a logo, text, or image—transfers onto fabric, creating a durable and visually appealing patch or logo. These films support various printing techniques such as silk screen, sublimation, and digital printing to achieve vibrant, detailed results.
Sustainable heat transfers are made from eco-friendly materials. Our product line proudly features options made from recycled silicone, recycled TPU, recycled leather, cork, bio-based inks, and biodegradable components, offering responsible choices for your designs.
These are specialized heat transfer applications that add physical depth and dimension to garment designs. Unlike traditional flat heat transfers, 3D silicone heat transfers create a raised, tactile effect on clothing, enhancing both the visual appeal and texture of the design.
Reflective heat transfer for garments is a technique that applies reflective materials onto textiles using heat-activated adhesives. This process enhances visibility and safety, especially in low-light or nighttime conditions, by reflecting light back to its source, making the wearer more noticeable.
Stretchable Adhesive Heat Transfer
Stretchable adhesive heat transfers for garments are specialized heat transfer vinyls (HTVs) or films designed to adhere to elastic and stretch fabrics while maintaining flexibility, softness, and durability. These transfers allow garments such as activewear, leggings, swimwear, and sports uniforms to retain their stretch and comfort without cracking or peeling of the design.
Embroidery patches with heat-activated adhesive backing, commonly called heat-seal or iron-on embroidered patches, are a popular way to decorate garments without sewing. These patches combine the classic look and texture of embroidery with the convenience of heat press application for a durable finish.
Lenticular heat transfer is an advanced textile decoration technology that uses lenticular lenses to create dynamic visual effects on garments. These effects include images that shift, flip, morph, or appear 3D as the viewing angle changes, offering a captivating and interactive appearance.
Perforated heat transfer vinyl (HTV) is a specialized type of heat transfer film designed with tiny holes (micro-perforations) that provide breathability and a unique textured look when applied to garments. This makes it especially suited for sportswear and activewear, where ventilation and moisture management are important.
Transparent Anti-Migration Blocker
Transparent Anti-Migration Blocker for Heat Transfers is a specialized heat transfer vinyl (HTV) or film designed to prevent dye migration from sublimated or dyed polyester fabrics onto the applied heat transfer design. Dye migration occurs when the dyes in the fabric bleed or transfer into the heat-applied graphic, causing discoloration or blurring of the design, especially on dark or highly dyed garments.
