1.

Position Your Design

With Falcon’s LowTemp - Instant Peel films, there’s no need to pre-press your garment. Place your transfer exactly where you want it. This advanced technology allows you to safely apply transfers to technical fabrics, performance wear, polyester, nylon, PVC-coated, and waterproof materials without the risk of heat damage or scorching.

Place your transfer exactly in the exact location on the garment and secure it with Falcon heat-resistant thermal tape to prevent shifting during pressing.

2.

Press the Transfer

Press at 260°F (127°C), medium-high pressure, for 9 seconds

Peel the Film

Peel in one smooth motion after lifting the press.

If you feel resistance, lay the film back down, press for 2–3 more seconds, and peel again.

4.

Final Press & Wash Instructions

After peeling, cover with parchment or Teflon and press again for 5–6 seconds to lock in the design.

Wait 24 hours before first wash. Wash inside-out in cold water with mild detergent; tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Warm/hot washes and high heat drying are possible but may shorten lifespan.
