Cricut - Pressing Instructions

  • Placement

    Position your design on the garment. While it's recommended to use Heat-Resistant tape for a Cricut press, it's not mandatory.

  • Press

    Set your Cricut to 320°F and press for 20-25 seconds. This usually does the trick for most apparel. If your transfer isn't sticking well, bump up the Cricut temperature by 15°F to 335°F and give it another shot until you're satisfied. And remember, there's no such thing as overpressing your transfers! Don't be afraid to give your transfers a little extra press. It will only make them more durable.

  • Peel

    Take a peek to see if the design has transferred nicely. If not, don't worry! Just give it another go with a bit more heat and pressure. And hey, you can't really overdo it, so press away until you're happy with the result!

  • Final Press

    Lay the parchment paper on top of your material and give it another press for about 15 seconds. This helps to soften the design and make it extra durable. Go on, give it that little extra love!

How to Wash

For washing, the best bet is to turn your item inside out and use cold water. If you're using an Cricut instead of a heat press, we suggest hang drying. But if you're in a rush and need the dryer, opt for low heat and still keep it inside out. Remember, every iron has its own personality, so play around to find what suits yours best. And just a reminder, you can't really go wrong with pressing your transfers, so no need to stress about that! Give your transfers a little extra press to ensure they're super durable!
