Apparel Heat Transfer Production Technician

What a typical day looks like

You start by reviewing the production board, staging garments and transfers, and dialing in your press for the day’s mix of fabrics. You verify temperature, pressure, and dwell time, run a quick test, and then move into steady production—aligning left-chest logos, full-front graphics, names, and numbers with exact placement. Throughout the shift, you inspect every piece, correct anything that’s off, keep materials in order, and own each job from setup through final pack-out.
