Low Temp – Gentle Transfer Films
Low Temp films transfer your design to the textile at particularly low pressing temperatures. This lets you protect sensitive materials and color gradients without compromising on a brilliant, wash-resistant result. Whether a metallic effect or a classic shade – with our Low Temp films you work gently and reliably.
With Low Temp films, the low pressing temperature is what counts in order to protect sensitive textiles and color effects optimally. In the Low Temp category, Print Equipment offers you suitable films for your needs. In the Low Temp category you'll find the right solution for temperature-sensitive projects.
What defines Low Temp films?
Low Temp films are specially formulated PU flex films that adhere securely to the textile even at lower temperatures. A reduced pressing temperature is decisive for protecting sensitive materials and color effects.
The typical use of a Low Temp film is clearly structured:
- The design is cut out of the film precisely with the cutting plotter
- Excess film material is removed (weeding)
- The design is transferred to the textile at a reduced temperature using a heat press
- After cooling, the carrier film is peeled off and the design is firmly in place
Low Temp films thus ideally complement our film range and are a sensible addition to our cutting plotters.
Why Low Temp films are indispensable
Low Temp films play an important role for the gentle handling of sensitive textiles. Only with a reduced pressing temperature can the risk of discoloration or damage be minimized.
The most important advantages include:
- Gentle processing: Lower pressing temperatures protect sensitive materials
- Certified quality: Certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®
- Wide color selection: 93 colors for versatile design creation. Your individual shade is decisive for the choice.
- Good cutting properties: Precise cutting of intricate details on the cutting plotter
- Ideal for sensitive applications: Particularly suitable for metallic and neon effects
This makes Low Temp films indispensable both for classic designs and for sensitive metallic and neon effects.

What to look out for when buying Low Temp films
If you want to buy Low Temp films, you should consider various factors in order to find the right film for your needs.
Important criteria are:
- Pressing temperature: Look for the maximum temperature your textile can tolerate
- Wash resistance: Note the different values for metallic, neon and standard colors
- Color selection: Use the color chart for reliable color selection based on real samples
- Certification: Look for certifications such as STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® where relevant requirements apply
- Textile compatibility: Make sure that the film suits your target textile
The right selection ensures that you work gently and reliably in film transfer.
Low Temp films for different applications
Depending on the color effect, the requirements for your Low Temp film vary considerably. While standard colors are wash-resistant up to 60°C, metallic and neon effects require a particularly gentle pressing temperature and a lower washing temperature of up to 40°C.
The choice of the right film therefore depends strongly on which color effect you want to achieve and which sensitive textile you want to print on. For a reliable result, many businesses rely on the color chart for reliable pre-selection before ordering larger quantities.
