Default Anyone Heat pressing their tags?

Is there anyone out there doing this?
Reason I ask is because I currently screen print my tags in the shirts, but it seems like heat transfer would be more efficient way to go about it.

Has anyone else ran into an issue like this? Heat Transfer tags vs. Screen printed tags?

Thanks
Ben

Many of us use plastisol transfer tags. I don't recommend laser/inkjet tags because they will not last as long as the garment, which is an FTC requirement.

We use transfer labels for our own lines and the lines of customers we do fulfillment and printing for. Works great. We use hat presses to do the transfers.

What do you mean by "transfer labels"? Heat transfer labels? Ink jet or laser? What are you using to print them>
