Video transcript

  1. 0:00'Transfer sticker' can mean printed ink or real metal.
  2. 0:05A UV transfer is printed in layers between a backing liner and a clear film: adhesive, white base, colour, then varnish. No background, no heat press.
  3. 0:16Best on smooth, hard, hand-washed surfaces like jars, boxes and tins. Fabric, heat and tight curves are poor fits. Test dishwasher claims.
  4. 0:27Clean without ammonia; avoid cold or heat. Lift slowly, burnish centre out, fold the film back and peel low. The film's tack must stay below the adhesive's grip.
  5. 0:39Full colour or photos? Choose UV. A raised edge and true metal shine? Choose nickel: few tones, no gradients, careful sample approval.
  6. 0:50No metallic ink copies real nickel's edge and reflection.
  7. 0:55Send artwork, surface and quantity; we'll advise printed or metal.
