with release agent. After drying, the patterned film is ironed to the surface of clothes or other

fabrics through high temperature and high pressure, leaving the pattern and tearing away the

waste film to complete the hot stamping process. Therefore, this way, it is called "hot stamping",

also called "heat transfer hot stamping". This way of hot printing, almost suitable for all clothing,

all cloth, the premise is to face different cloth, have to take different printing process. Especially

the high elastic drawstring cloth, the cloth itself has strong elasticity. At this time, if the glue coating

is not used properly, it will be made into clothes and worn. When doing outdoor activities, the

pattern parts will be easy to crack due to the intense stretching and exercise of the limbs, which

will affect the quality of the clothes and eventually the reputation of the ground.

products to do small pattern decoration, it is best. Of course, do luggage products, do not have to

worry about whether it is breathable.
