Blocker

Polyester and sublimated fabrics are dyed using heat, and when we apply heat transfers we use enough heat reactivate the dyes used. This then over time ‘bleeds’ into the transfer causing discoloration.

The top logo has Supacolors blocking layer, the bottom logo does not and you can see the dark spots of the dye coming through.

FAQs

How do I know if I need a Blocker or not?

If you’re not sure if your fabric will bleed or not, it’s a good idea to use a Blocker just to be safe. It looks and feels the same as the Wearable heat transfer and can be used on all the same gear (and more). The only difference is it has an invisible layer that stops any dye from the fabric bleeding through your design, which can help you avoid costly mistakes. So when in doubt, rock the Blocker.

What fabrics can I use the Blocker heat transfer on?

Blocker heat transfers can be used on nearly everything: cotton, polycotton blends, fleece and all polyesters. This makes it perfect for tees, hoodies, stretchy athleisure wear, cotton tote bags and denim. It is often used on sublimated (patterned) polyester and tri-blend fabrics, which may bleed if you don’t use a blocker.

What fabrics can I NOT use the Blocker heat transfer on?

Blocker heat transfers are not designed for fabrics with waterproof coatings or specialty fabrics that require a low temperature heat press. In those situations, use our Lo Melt heat transfers.

Can I use Blocker heat transfers on headwear?

Yes, but only if you’re printing where the design won’t go over seams (e.g. on a five panel cap). If you want to print over seams, use our Headwear transfers. These are designed specifically for that, and will print beautifully over seams and even mesh without cracking.

Can I use Blocker heat transfers on bags?

It depends. They can work on some bags, but it’s best to use our Promotional heat transfers, as these have been designed to adhere to ALL kinds of bags and other promotional gear.

Can I really print Pantone colors on this heat transfer?

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

Are these heat transfers eco-friendly?

You bet. Like all of our transfers, they’re made from water-based inks, not plastic-based, and are OEKO-Tex certified, so you know they’re not harmful to you or the planet.

How durable are Blocker heat transfers?

They’re independently proven to last 70+ washes before they show any signs of fading or cracking. For most people, that’s a few years - usually longer than the garments they’re printed on!

What heat presses are compatible these transfers?

All our transfers are 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.
