Softshell made easy.

Like polyester, heat is used to set the dyes into softshell fabric. When we press a transfer on, it reactivates the dyes used. Our SoftShell Blocker has a specially formulated layer to trap the dye and therefore preventing the transfer from discoloring.

The top logo has this layer, the bottom does not and you can see the fabric color coming through the transfer.

FAQ

What happens if I use a different heat transfer on a Softshell garment?

Softshell fabric has a water repellent coating. Which means standard transfers won’t adhere to it properly. If you use an alternative to Softshell heat transfers on softshell fabrics, you risk damaging the garment from overheating it, or having a print that doesn’t adhere properly from underheating it.

Do I need a Softshell Blocker for all softshell apparel?

Yes, other transfers may not adhere to the softshell fabric properly and without the blocker layer, the fabric’s dye will bleed into the design.

Can I print Pantone colors with the Softshell Blocker heat transfer?

Yes! We can PMS match any Pantone color so your apparel will be perfectly on brand.

Is there a minimum order required for Softshell Blockers?

Yes, the minimum order for Softshell Blocker transfers is 10 identical pieces.

What heat presses are compatible with Softshell Blocker heat transfers?

Like all of our transfers, the Softshell Blocker is a professional-grade heat transfer that can be used with an air-operated or manual heat press. However, it is NOT designed to be pressed with a domestic iron, or the Cricut Easy Press or any other presses without adequate pressure settings.
