How do I choose between a flatbed heat press and a roller transfer machine?
Flatbed heat press machines are designed for piece-by-piece processing: cut fabric pieces, finished garments, shoes, hats, bags, labels, and more. With a small pressing area and direct pressure, they are ideal for precise positioning and localized designs.
Roller transfer machines process fabric in rolls, allowing for continuous feeding, and are suitable for batch transfer printing on entire bolts of fabric. Garment factories often equip themselves with both types: roller machines for printing on entire bolts of fabric, and flatbed machines for spot re-pressing on cut pieces and finished garments.
Please send us the fabric type, width, production capacity, and design requirements, and our engineers will provide tailored recommendations based on the equipment configuration.
