What is Supacolor?

Supacolor is a hybrid transfer that is one part old school, one part new school, and all parts thin and luxurious! If you can’t decide between our  Custom Heat Transfers or screen print/plastisol transfers, Supacolor is the way to go!  Supacolor heat transfers come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors (available in a range of sizes up to 11.7”x16.5”). Supacolor prides itself in being able to offer millions of colors (including neon colors) and color matching with Pantones. Choose from several different adhesives that are perfectly suited to your needs, from Wearables (for all of your shirts and sweatshirts) or Soft Shell Blocker (formulated specifically for soft shell jackets) to Headwear (which will bridge the gap on the seam of a 6-panel cap)!

Incorporating Supacolor heat transfers into your business is a win/win for you and your customer. You get hassle-free ordering with immediate pricing and no hidden fees and your customer gets beautiful, long-lasting heat transfers to customize almost anything they can think of! 

Types of Supacolor Transfers

Wearables

• Perfect for nearly any fabric (if there is a waterproof coating we recommend a bit of testing first)
• Suitable for cotton, poly/cotton blends, and polyester fabrics
• Not ideal for garments that may have issues with dye migration
• Tested to 50+ washes
• Great stretch and rebound
• No cracking
• Most versatile transfer (when in doubt, start here)

Headwear

• Can bridge the seam of a 6-panel cap making for an easy (dare we say...seamless?) transfer
• Only needs to be pressed once
• Adheres to a wide range of fabrics (if waterproof coating is present, testing is recommended)
• Not ideal for garments that may have issues with dye migration

Sub Block

• Black backing stops dye migration from both dye of the garment and dye sublimation
• Tested to 50+ washes
• Great stretch and rebound
• No cracking
• Perfect for nearly any fabric as long as there is not a waterproof coating
• Use Supacolor test strips to determine if a blocker is required

Soft Shell Blocker

• Uniquely designed blocker specifically for soft shell materials to prevent dye migration
• Less stretch than regular Sub Block Supacolor due to the nature of a soft shell
• Tested to 50+ wash cycles
• Use test transfers to check for migration

Promotional

• Great for products that will not be washed
• Ideal for items such as tote bags, umbrellas, and other promotional items
• No stretch

The Supacolor Advantage

Supacolor is a unique heat press transfer with vibrant colors, a very soft hand, and amazing stretch. When thinking of a one-color design that you would hate to weed, your mind may immediately go to plastisol transfers as an alternative, which may seem like the best choice. However, choosing a Supacolor transfer instead will save you a lot of heartache if you’re trying to color match or just looking for a basic white transfer. Supacolor will outlast a plastisol transfer, and it will feel and look much better while doing it! These transfers stand out because the process is simple and the variety is endless, making them ideal for complex colored designs and those that require Pantone matching! Supacolor transfers are easy to order, easy to press, and easy to sell to your customers! With no hidden charges, lightning fast turn around, and stunning colors, Supacolor is the future of custom heat press transfers.
