Screen Printed Metallic Tagless Neck Labels
Screen Printed Metallic Tagless Neck Labels are made for brands that want a bold, metallic inside neck print with a clean, professional finish to stand out. These single color metallic plastisol labels give you bold, high-opacity neck prints that stand out clearly while still feeling soft and comfortable to wear.
Designed for everyday branding, these labels have some stretch, are built for durability, and apply at lower temperatures between 300°F and 330°F. They work on most fabrics that can handle 300°F or more, including cotton, polyester, blends, and other synthetics. Whether you are decorating performance wear, athleisure, or retail apparel, these metallic tagless labels add a premium touch that looks more polished than sewn tags or plastic feeling transfers.

Step-by-Step Application
-
Prepare Your Heat Press. Set the heat press to 300–330°F with 40 PSI / firm pressure. Use a traditional heat press. Do not use a Teflon sheet or any kind of cover.
-
Pre-Press the Garment. Position the garment and pre-press for 5 seconds to remove surface moisture and wrinkles before applying the transfer.
-
Position the Transfer. Place the transfer printed side down where you want the design. Avoid seams, zippers, and uneven surfaces unless the product is specifically designed for those areas.
-
Apply Heat & Pressure. Press for 12 seconds at 40 PSI / firm pressure. Maintain the recommended pressure for the full pressing time.
-
Peel the Carrier Hot. Peel the transfer paper immediately while hot. Do not wait for the transfer to cool.
-
Inspect the Transfer. Check that the design is fully bonded, including edges and fine details, before continuing production.
Important Precautions
- Always perform a test press before starting full production. We are not responsible for damaged garments.
- Must use a traditional heat press capable of maintaining the required temperature and even pressure.
- Do not use a Teflon sheet or any kind of cover.
- Do not apply transfers over seams, zippers, or uneven surfaces unless specifically permitted.
- Confirm that your garment material is compatible with the selected transfer and application temperature.
- Peel hot immediately. Peeling too late may affect adhesion.
Care Instructions

- Do Not Bleach.

Convert all fonts to outlines or shapes before uploading. Very thin lines and small details may fill in or disappear during printing.
Font Recommendations for Small Neck Labels
When designing small neck labels, we recommend avoiding serif-style fonts with very thin strokes, delicate accents, or intricate decorative details. These fine elements may not reproduce clearly when printed at smaller sizes.
Regular-Weight Serif Font Example
Abc
Notice the thin strokes and decorative finishing details.
These small accents, sometimes called serifs, can become difficult to reproduce when the lettering is reduced to neck-label size.
Our Recommendation:
Serif fonts are allowed, but for small lettering, choose fonts with thicker, well-defined strokes and sufficient spacing. Avoid extremely thin decorative accents that may disappear or fill in during printing. Always check the thinnest parts of your letters against the minimum printed line thickness requirements.
Before Uploading Your Artwork
- Review your design at its intended finished size.
- Convert fonts to outlines or shapes to avoid substitutions.
- Remove unwanted backgrounds, effects, and stray design elements.
- Check that your artwork meets the requirements for the selected transfer.
- Upload your artwork through the product configurator.
- Include any important sizing, color, or production notes.
Files created in basic design programs, screenshots, and low-resolution images may require additional artwork preparation before production.
