In this cost article, we will explore the key factors that impact the pricing of our heat transfers and shed light on our value-based pricing approach.

The type of heat transfer logo you choose can significantly influence its pricing. Various factors come into play here, such as the type of fabric you plan to apply it on, the complexity of the design and the desired effect.
KEY FACTOR #1: Heat Transfer Technique
There are different heat transfer options available, offering unique features and benefits. Let's take a closer look at some of these techniques:
- FLAT PU: Eco-friendly FLAT PU heat transfers are water-based PU logos. They are thin, stretchable, soft and highly durable. You can choose from metallic, matt gloss, temperature/UV/wet colour change effects to bio-based, glow in the dark, embroidery look and more.
- 3D PU: High-quality 3D PU heat transfers achieve a prominent 3D look with optional thicknesses, sharp edges and excellent wash and abrasion resistance. They come with textured, glossy and metallic effects and anti-sublimation backing.
- 3D HF TPU: These labels use high-frequency technology to create a metallic, 3D appearance. They are lightweight and come with multiple finishing options like metalized or matt base, reflective options, textured effects and anti-counterfeit UV prints for added security.
- 3D SILICONE: These logos use innovative printing technologies with optional heights, rounded or sharp edges, available in glossy or matt gloss finishes, multi-level effects and the eco-friendly option of recycled silicone.
- 3D FLOCK: Our 3D FLOCK labels use the LEXTRA® process, a unique screen print process of pre-dyed fibres, offering a soft velvet-like texture and hi-definition graphic effects. Choose from Lextra® Stretch, Lextra® 3D (Obitex/Satin) and Lextra® 4D (multi-color Obitex/Satin).
- 3D EMBROIDERY: These transfers offer classic decorative embellishment without stitching, ensuring maximum comfort and no skin irritation. They also present possibilities of reflective/glow in the dark yarns/fabrics, high volume and chenille for distinctive textures.
- 3D WOVEN: These heat transfer logos offer classic decorative embellishment without stitching, featuring high-definition graphics and transparent, textured, white, colored and rainbow reflectivity.
- 3D LENTICULAR: The patented LENTEX® product creates the illusion of depth and motion through lenticular technology, including flip, morph, zoom, animate effects and fly-eye elements.
KEY FACTOR #2: Logo Execution
As you can see, there are different heat transfer logo options available and as each option offers unique features and benefits, it is challenging to provide exact pricing in this article. However, determining the cost of a heat transfer logo goes beyond just selecting the desired effects and finishes.
Several factors related to the logo's execution and design complexity can impact the overall pricing. The size of the logo, whether it's flat or 3-dimensional, the number of colours required and the order quantity are some of the significant factors considered during pricing. Our experienced team can work closely with you to determine the best combination of elements that align with your budget and vision.
KEY FACTOR #3: Intended Use
Another key factor influencing the cost of a heat transfer logo is its intended application. Whether it's for professional football clubs looking to apply it on sublimated football jerseys, coated rain jackets, softshell jackets, training wear or other specific garments or for large fashion brands in search of brand logos or size code labels and corporate wear companies in need of certified reflective logos for safety vests or flame-resistant options, the intended use case plays a significant role in determining the price.
We take the time to thoroughly discuss your needs and find the most suitable heat transfer solution for your unique application.
