Custom heat transfer labels for plastic buckets
Heat transfer film is a decorative material used to apply vibrant, durable graphics onto plastic products like plastic buckets.The process involves custom heat transfer labels, which are printed designs on a carrier film. During application, heat and pressure are applied. This causes the ink layer to release from the film and permanently adhere to the bucket's surface. The result is a high-quality, seamless finish that is resistant to fading, scratching, and chemicals.

Heat transfer film FAQ
Q:Why does the base color of the product or the color of the film become darker after printing?
1) Your product color is too dark,and the white base of the thermal transfer film is not thick, resulting in the product color showing through after printing.You can use 2 or even 3 layers of white on the design artwork.
2）Thicken and deepen the white ink,or use high-concentration white.
Q:How to ensure that the colors of design drawings are more standard?
1) For the electronic draft, the customer confirms the color and size. If there is a 5% difference between the product and the design draft, the customer will be informed in advance.
2) Use Pantone color cards to compare color numbers with customers.
Production process
Heat transfer film production steps:
1. Make Cylinder
A printing cylinder (or gravure roller) is engraved with the desired design. The cylinder’s surface is etched with tiny cells that hold ink for pattern transfer. Precision engraving ensures accurate color reproduction and print consistency.
2. Printing
The PET (or other substrate) film is fed into the printing machine. Ink is applied to the engraved cylinder and transferred onto the film in layers (depending on color requirements). Each color is printed separately, with registration marks ensuring alignment.
3. Drying
After printing, the film passes through a drying tunnel (hot air or UV curing). This step evaporates solvents and solidifies the ink to prevent smudging. Proper drying ensures adhesion and color fastness.
4. Cutting
The printed film is cut into rolls or sheets based on customer requirements. Precision slitting machines trim edges and divide the film into desired widths. Some films may be pre-cut into specific label sizes.
5. Quality Inspection
Visual and machine inspections check for defects (misprints, color shifts, scratches, etc.).
Adhesion, color accuracy, and durability tests are performed.
Only approved films move to the next stage.
6. Packaging & Shipping
The finished heat transfer film is carefully wound onto cores or stacked as sheets. Protective packaging (plastic wrap, carton boxes) prevents damage during transit. Labels with product details (size, material, batch number) are attached before shipping.
This streamlined process ensures high-performance PET heat transfer films for applications like bucket paint bucket heat transfer, apparel labels, and industrial branding.
