Here are six easy, profitable ways to use heat transfers for personalized holiday gifts, complete with design ideas (and links!) your customers will love.
Tote Bags: Print. Fold. Gift.
Use Varsity or DTF transfers to print:
Varsity is ideal for 1–3 color prints, including metallics, and gives a classic screen-printed finish. DTF adds unlimited color and photographic detail for custom art.
Create:
For a more elevated finish, use Digital Hybrid transfers on fabric ornaments or stockings — they deliver ultra-smooth, soft-touch detail with a premium feel.
Everyone loves a custom tumbler, and UV DTF transfers make them effortless to personalize. They stick to glass, plastic, or stainless steel and deliver crisp, glossy detail.
Design ideas that sell:
You can also create matching apparel using Varsity for clean, bold logos or Digital Hybrid for full-color luxury branding sets.
Stockings are an underrated profit maker. With DTF transfers, you can press bright, full-color designs or personalized names directly onto cotton or polyester stockings.
Try:
For something more tactile, use Puff transfers to add a raised, dimensional look that feels soft and festive.
A custom hoodie is the kind of gift that gets worn year-round.
Use DTF transfers for colorful, detailed graphics; Varsity for clean 1–3 color prints with a classic screen-printed feel; or Digital Hybrid for a smooth, luxurious finish that feels premium in hand.
Design ideas:
Hoodies are a proven Q4 best-seller. Bundle them with matching ornaments or totes for an easy upsell.
Don’t forget the details. Tagless Labels make your products look truly professional — perfect for small-batch creators and boutique brands.
Press your logo, size, or care info directly inside each garment for a polished finish that’s soft against the skin.
Pair with matching custom packaging for an unboxing experience that feels premium.
Your heat press isn’t just for production. Use it for creativity, profit, AND connection.
