The Title Isn't Given. It's Earned.

Decorating premium and heat-sensitive apparel is one of the hardest jobs in the transfer business. Standard temperatures scorch. Dye bleeds. Quality suffers. Most transfers aren't built for it.

Supacolor Lo Melt and Lo Melt Blocker are. Here is why they lead the industry with groundbreaking low-cure and bleed-blocking capabilities.

A Hybrid Process No Standard Transfer Can Match

PMS color-matched accuracy with HP digital offset technology. Water-based screen printing durability and solid white opacity. All in one heat transfer.

Supacolor Lo Melt hybrid production process

Lo Melt uses a hybrid production process that combines PANTONE-matched color with water-based screen printing. That combination gives you unlimited color accuracy, exceptional durability, and a soft hand feel that meets the standards of any professional print shop. It is not a compromise between quality and safety. It is both.

Lo Melt Blocker: The Champion for Sublimated and Performance Polyester

Some fabrics don't just need low heat. They need a built-in bleed barrier.

Lo Melt Blocker bleed-blocking backing layer

Lo Melt Blocker takes the Lo Melt base and adds a bleed blocking layer, making it the definitive transfer for sublimated jerseys, performance polyester, and any heat-sensitive garment where fabric dye bleeds under pressure and heat.

Lo Melt Blocker's barrier prevents sublimation dyes from contaminating the ink layer, keeping colors accurate through repeated heavy-use washing. For contract decorators running team uniforms and sublimated sportswear, Lo Melt Blocker eliminates the most common source of failed transfers in the category.

There Is No One Size Fits All Heat Transfer

Not every garment is a standard cotton tee. Some are premium. Some are sublimated. Some are heat-sensitive.
