Custom Glitter Screen Printed Heat Transfers are perfect for decorators and teams who want bold glitter sparkle with a true screen printed feel, not a stiff plastic patch, using their own print-ready artwork. These transfers deliver dense glitter coverage so custom logos, numbers, and mascots shine on the field, court, stage, or in the stands and stand out across different garment colors.
Created for everyday production workflows, Custom Glitter Screen Printed Heat Transfers press smoothly between 300°F and 330°F on cotton, polyester, blends, and most fabrics that can handle this heat. With a roomy 12″ x 17.5″ max size, free shipping, and a quick 2–4 business day turnaround once artwork is ready, they are ideal for cheerleading squads, dance teams, sports groups, and spirit organizations wanting custom sparkle on uniforms, practice gear, and fan apparel.

Step-by-Step Application
-
Prepare Your Heat Press. Set the heat press to 300–330°F with 40 PSI / firm pressure. Use a traditional heat press. Do not use a Teflon sheet or any kind of cover.
-
Pre-Press the Garment. Position the garment and pre-press for 5 seconds to remove surface moisture and wrinkles before applying the transfer.
-
Position the Transfer. Place the transfer printed side down where you want the design. Avoid seams, zippers, and uneven surfaces unless the product is specifically designed for those areas.
-
Apply Heat & Pressure. Press for 12 seconds at 40 PSI / firm pressure. Maintain the recommended pressure for the full pressing time.
-
Peel the Carrier Hot. Peel the transfer paper immediately while hot. Do not wait for the transfer to cool.

Inspect the Transfer. Check that the design is fully bonded, including edges and fine details, before continuing production.

Artwork Requirements
Artwork Requirements
Print-Ready Basics
For the best results, submit clean, print-ready artwork. Glitter screen-printed transfers work best with bold designs, solid shapes, and clear details. Your artwork should be prepared at the intended printing size, with accurate colors, spelling, and layout.
- Upload artwork at the exact size you want printed.
- If resizing is needed, include the required width and height in your order notes.
- Submit artwork in the correct orientation, not mirrored.
- Use a transparent background unless the background is intended to print.
- Check spelling, alignment, and design details before uploading.
Accepted File Formats
Vector artwork is preferred for sharp edges, accurate sizing, and clean printing. High-resolution raster artwork is also accepted.
- Preferred Vector Files: PDF, AI, SVG, EPS
- Accepted Raster Files: PSD, PNG, TIFF, JPG
- Raster Resolution: At least 300 DPI at final print size.
- Canva Users: Export your artwork as PDF Print for the best available quality.
Color & Design Setup
Glitter screen-printed transfers are best suited for clean, solid-color designs. The glitter particles create a sparkling finish that works especially well with bold lettering, logos, graphics, and larger design elements.
- Solid Colors: Use clean, solid artwork with clearly defined shapes.
- Glitter Colors: Select from the available glitter ink colors shown in the product configurator.
- Fine Details: Avoid extremely thin lines, tiny text, and intricate details that may not reproduce cleanly.
- Special Effects: Gradients, fades, shadows, and transparency effects may not reproduce as intended.
- Color Notes: Specify important color requirements in your order notes.
Minimum Detail & Text Requirements
Glitter screen-printed transfers require larger minimum details than standard plastisol transfers. To prevent small details from filling in, breaking, or losing definition, artwork must meet the following minimum tolerances.
| Requirement |
Minimum |
| Printed Line Thickness |
2 pt / 0.028 in |
| Negative Space |
4 pt / 0.056 in |
Artwork below these tolerances may print heavier, fill in, or lose important details. Bold lettering and larger solid shapes are recommended for the best glitter finish.
Convert all fonts to outlines or shapes before uploading. In Adobe Illustrator, convert text to outlines. In Adobe Photoshop, convert text to shapes.
Before Uploading Your Artwork
- Review your design at its intended finished size.
- Convert fonts to outlines or shapes to avoid substitutions.
- Remove unwanted backgrounds, effects, and stray design elements.
- Ensure printed lines are at least 2 pt thick.
- Ensure negative spaces are at least 4 pt wide.
- Use bold shapes and clear lettering for the best glitter appearance.
- Upload your artwork through the product configurator.
- Include any important sizing, color, or production notes.
Files created in basic design programs, screenshots, and low-resolution images may require additional artwork preparation before production.
