These ready-to-press transfers make it simple to prepare school shirts for kids, school photos, celebrations and important moments throughout the school year.

Each design arrives ready for heat press application, so there is no need for cutting individual pieces or removing excess vinyl before pressing.

Back to School DTF Transfers vs. Traditional Shirt Ordering
