WASHING & CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Caring for your direct to film pressed garment is simple. If the transfer is applied and cared for properly, it can last the life of the garment.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after pressing a garment to perform a wash and dry cycle. Washing t h egarment inside out is the best way to prevent premature wear and tear. Cold wash only. Hang or tumble dry.
