Screen Printed Full Color Hybrid Square Tag-Less Neck Labels
Screen Printed Full Color Hybrid Square Tag-Less Neck Labels are made for brands that want full color neck branding with a soft screen print feel, not a plastic, shiny DTF block inside the shirt. Each 2″ x 2″ square label uses a screen printed backing with digitally printed graphics, so you get vibrant logos and details while still keeping a matte, professional finish that feels comfortable against the skin.
These labels are designed for both comfort and versatility, applying at lower temperatures between 280°F and 320°F that work well on heat sensitive fabrics like polyester, swimwear, and performance wear. They can be applied with a heat press, home iron, or small craft press, making them a strong option for clothing brands, team gear, and private label lines that want retail-ready neck prints without sewn tags or stiff DTF transfers.

Application & Care ➔
Application Instructions
- Set heat press to required temperature and pressure.
- Once temperature is reached, press the bottom platen for 5-10 seconds. (only for first press)
- Set and align garment, then press for 5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
- Set and align transfer, press for required time.
- Peel cold wait at least 30 seconds or until room temperature is reached.
Home iron, Easy/Mini Press Application
- Wool setting on iron or between 300-320 degrees.
- Use a flat surface/matt (ironing boards don’t work)
- Press garment for a few seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles
- Press for at least 12 seconds while applying some pressure
- Wait for about 20-30 seconds to peel.
If you peel while it’s still hot it won’t release from the transfer film but if you wait too long, it will be a rougher release.
A couple degrees over room temperature (after 20-30 seconds) will give you a smooth release.

Tips

Artwork Requirements ➔
Print Ready Basics
You don’t need a label design ready we can create one for you!
We print using CMYK so if the artwork provided is in RGB color it will produce a different color that won’t match what you see on screen.
There is no fading into the garment itself only fading/gradients into any other shape or color.
Your artwork prints as submitted, including size, spelling, and layout.
- Upload the file at the exact size you want it printed.
- If resizing is needed, include the exact width and height in your order notes.
- Artwork is uploaded in the correct orientation and not mirrored.
- Backgrounds are transparent unless a background is intended to print.
Preferred File Types
Vector artwork produces the cleanest edges and most consistent results.
Preferred (Vector)
Also Accepted
For raster files, artwork is provided at 300 dpi at final print size.
Canva Users
If you design in Canva, export your file as PDF Print for best results.
Color Setup
General Purpose transfers are produced using spot colors.
- Use solid colors when possible.
- Only include white when white ink is intended to print.
- If your file colors do not match what you want printed, list the intended colors in the order notes.
Minimum Detail Requirements
To prevent small details from filling in or breaking, artwork meets these minimum tolerances.
- Minimum printed line thickness: 1 pt or 0.014 in
- Minimum negative space: 2 pt or 0.028 in
Artwork below these tolerances may print heavier, fill in, or lose detail.
Text Requirements
All text is converted before submission to prevent font issues.
- Illustrator: convert text to outlines
- Photoshop: convert text to shapes
Converted text is no longer editable as live text.
Effects and Fine Detail Notes
Screen printed transfers are best for clean, solid artwork.
- Gradients, fades, shadows, and transparency effects may not reproduce as intended.
- Thin strokes and tiny “holes” inside letters can close up if they fall under minimum tolerances.
Files Not Accepted
Files from Cricut design tools, Windows Paint, Apple Paintbrush, and similar generic programs often do not separate cleanly for screen printing and may not be usable as submitted.
If anything is questionable, the fastest path is sending the best file available and including the intended print size.
Shipping & Turnaround ➔
Most orders with single-color, vector-ready artwork are produced in 2–4 business days.
Orders with non-vector artwork usually add one extra business day. If the file is low quality or the artwork is complex, turnaround can take longer.
Multi-color orders and higher quantities may also require additional production time.
