Foil Roll Application Instructions

Updated 4 years ago by Nathan Reedy

First, either apply the above mentioned plastisol heat transfers or direct prints to the garment.
Cut the Textile Foil to the desired shape and place it, color side up, over the area chosen to be "foiled". (If Textile Foil is not placed over the entire design, cover the exposed plastisol ink areas with release paper to shield them from the hot platen).
Heat press temperature should be 280-375F. Pressure: 35 psi to 60 psi. Dwell time: 4-10 seconds over a transfer; 10-15 seconds if applying over a direct print.
Stripping: Foil may be pulled within seconds after pressing the foil and garment with the heat press. Pull time will vary depending on material, heat and adhesive used.
For best results the color of ink used for the heat transfer or direct print to be "foiled" should either be black or a complimentary color of the foil. This will help mask any chipping or tarnishing of the foil with repeated washings.
