FAQs about Teflon Sheets
What is a Teflon sheet used for in heat pressing?
A Teflon sheet is a reusable, non-stick PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) sheet that forms a protective barrier between the heat press platen and your garment or transfer. It protects garments from scorching and shine marks, keeps excess ink and adhesive off the platen, and helps spread heat evenly across the print area for more consistent results.
Do I need a Teflon sheet for a heat press?
A Teflon sheet isn't always essential, but it's strongly recommended for most heat press applications. Unlike single-use parchment or baking paper, it can be reused press after press, protecting both your press and your garments from scorch marks and adhesive residue. Always check your transfer instructions first, as some manufacturers recommend pressing without a cover sheet.
Are Teflon sheets reusable?
Yes, Teflon sheets are designed to be used again and again. Wipe the sheet clean with a soft, damp cloth between presses to remove any residue from heat transfer vinyl or DTF transfers. Store sheets flat rather than folded, and replace them once they become scratched, creased or discoloured, as damage can show through onto your garments.
What are Teflon pressing pillows used for?
Pressing pillows sit inside or underneath a garment to raise the print area above seams, zips, buttons and pockets. This evens out pressure across the transfer, helping you avoid faint patches and press lines on hoodies, polos, bags and other hard-to-press items.
