Default what sort of transfer is this

Hi all
im sure this is very simple yet I have no idea what I have and under what category it falls under
I have recently started doing my own shirts and by chance, I was given a new heat press machine by a friend who does a lot of wheeling and dealing in china, bought one for himself and never used it. Anyway, during the recent rugby world cup, he had a contract making rainjackets with each countries logo(which they eventually subcontracted out), so in this box i found a fair amount of plastic sheets with each countries logo on it, which when cut out and placed on fabric and under the press leaves the imprint of the logo on the shirt. What is this called? as he said he could get my logos printed for 10cents each in china and i could just use the heat press to put them on myself. Its just like a transfer and works on dark shirts though i dont need to cut anything out, and just peel the plastic off when its done. As said, im sure its simple, though after much reading, im just not sure which category it falls under
Many thanks
Mark

Are the sheets clear plastic? Are the transfers single colored? What is the temp, pressure and dwell time for application

It sounds like they may be screen printed plastisol transfers. Check out this post a review of 8 different custom plastisol transfer screen printers - samples followup

yes, the sheets are clear plastic, and each sheet has about 40 of each logo on it. And no, they are multi coloured. I had it under the press for about 15 seconds at 190celcius. After its peeled it feels like it has been stuck on rather than say the transfers ive been using with the jetpro paper
