They are NOT suitable on paper or card-stock.
UV Fusion Transfers are highly durable, they are made to be water-proof, scratch resistant and fade resistant due to the UV curing process.
To ensure the longest possible life for your transfers, it is best to hand wash decorated items.
The initial 24 hours following application are crucial, as this is when the adhesion gains strength. To achieve optimal results, it is recommended to avoid exposure to water during this time.

- Avoid touching the adhesive side of the transfer to prevent fingerprints and ensure proper adhesion.
- Store unused transfers in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality and prevent damage.
- By removing 1-2 cm of the backing paper ( larger transfers) and trimming it, you gain better control during the application process. This approach allows you to adhere the exposed adhesive section first before applying the entire transfer at once.
- Always slowly remove the backing paper, peeling too quickly can cause lifting or damage to the design
- While they are durable, we recommend hand-washing for the longest-lasting results.
- Take your time during alignment. Once placed, the transfer can not be repositioned.
- They work best on any hard, smooth non porous surface including glass, ceramic, sealed wood, plastic, vinyl, painted surfaces (acrylic paint or spray paint work best) and metal.
- For items like glassware, hand-wash with mild soap and avoid abrasive sponges.
- Do not put items that have been decorated in the microwave or dishwasher.
- Avoid using frosted glass.
Clean: Wipe the item thoroughly with 70%–91% Isopropyl Alcohol or warm soapy water (throughly rinse soap away. before drying) This removes finger oils, debris and dust.
Dry: Let the surface air dry completely. Even a tiny bit of moisture can cause the adhesive to fail.
Rub: Lay the transfer on a flat surface and run a felt-edged squeegee or your fingers firmly over the design. This ensures the graphic is fully stuck to the clear carrier sheet.
Trim: If you have multiple designs on one sheet, cut the parts of the transfer you are using, leaving a small border for easier handling and positioning.
Alignment: Before peeling the backing, hold the transfer against your object to find the exact placement.
Marking (Optional): Use a small piece of masking tape as a guide if you are working on a curved surface.
Peel: Turn the transfer face down and peel the white backing paper away from the clear film at a sharp angle.
Check: If any part of the design stays on the backing, press it back down, rub it firmly, and try peeling it again.
Take your time during alignment. Once placed, the transfer can not be repositioned.
For curved items, hold the transfer in a "U" shape. Let the centre touch the surface first, then slowly roll the sides down. This prevents air bubbles.
For flat items Instead of dropping the whole transfer at once, touch one corner down first, then use your squeegee to "sweep" the rest of the design down in one fluid motion.
Pressure: Once it touches the surface, you will not be able to move it. Use your fingers or a squeegee to rub the design firmly from the centre outward to the edges. Focus on those intricate details that need special attention. ( rub more on those areas)
Peel the top clear carrier sheet from one corner at a 45-degree angle ( close to the surface) to prevent any tearing, while using your other hand to hold the item steady.
If any section of the design lifts with the film, lay it back down and rub firmly to secure it. Once the transfer is fully applied, smooth out any bubbles and ensure the adhesive is in full contact with the surface.
Wait: Do not wash the item for at least 24 hours. The adhesive continues to bond and "cure" to the surface during this time.
