Other than the platens themselves, a helpful accessory is a silicone
platen cover that helps guard the garment from any marks or indentation. It changes the heating process by altering the heat delivered to
the garment, so it may make the application take longer, but the extra
time could save your garment. If you are concerned about scorching,
a silicone cover will help keep the garments pristine.
Find the Right Materials
Manufacturers of heat-transfer materials often are improving old
materials and inventing new ones to make your job easier. Changes
to vinyl, adhesives and application instructions can play a big role in
how synthetic performancewear is decorated.
A variety of products are on the market that work with performancewear - from heat-transfer vinyl to screen-printed and digital
transfers. Stay up to date on new and familiar products that have been
adapted solely for decorating heat-sensitive fabrics.
The performancewear trend won't be slowing any time soon. If
you decorate for sports teams, chances are you've already had to decorate on synthetic fibers like polyester. Everyone - from athletes to
couch potatoes - is enjoying the form and comfort of performance
synthetics. Fashion trends point to more innovations with synthetic
fabrics and more customers will be looking to have their preferred
garments customized.
As the garments themselves are innovated, decoration manufacturers
are introducing new products, tools and accessories to decorate these
garments. Stay aware of new solutions to address the unique problems
that arise with synthetic garments. Equipped with knowledge of the
right materials, best practices for decoration, and the correct tools, you'll
be prepared to decorate any performance synthetics come your way. ยช

Ensuring the material you are working with is
durable and will stay on the garment is essential for
decorating performancewear and jerseys.
With a blend of two or more fabrics, always use the fabric with
