What Is PET Printing Film?

PET printing film (also called PET heat transfer film) is a transparent or white polyester-based film with the following characteristics:

• High Precision: Smooth surface for high-definition printing.

• Heat Resistance: Withstands pressing temperatures (typically 130°C–160°C) without deformation.

• Strong Adhesion: Bonds firmly to fabrics via a hot-melt adhesive layer, wash-resistant.

• Eco-Friendly & Safe: Complies with EU RoHS standards, non-toxic, and odorless.

• 

Common Types:

• Transparent PET Film: For light fabrics, allowing the base color to show through.

• White-Backed PET Film: Features a white coating, ideal for dark garments.

• Elastic PET Film: Contains a flexible adhesive layer for stretchable fabrics (e.g., sportswear).

Applications:

• Apparel: T-shirts, hoodies, jeans labels

• Footwear: Sneakers, canvas shoes designs

• Lifestyle Products: Custom bags, caps, phone cases

• 

How to Choose the Right Printing Method for PET Film?

Tips:

• For dark fabrics, always choose digital printing with white ink or white-backed PET film + offset printing.

• Use elastic PET film for stretchable fabrics to prevent cracking.

PET printed film technology is driving the heat transfer industry toward high precision and sustainability. Selecting the right process based on needs can significantly enhance product competitiveness!
