Default using 2 different types of vinyls in one design

HI,
I am working on some t-shirts that have eco-film and glitz in the same design. The pressing instructions say that one should be pressed at a much higher temperature. I would love to press both at the same time, but fear the eco-film will burn. Can I do this? If I have to press separately which one should I press first. Any help is appreciated.

I use quite a few diffeent vinyls together on my shirts , don't worry too much to be honest . If worries about one in particular it woul be sensible maybe to press that one last if you think it may burn .It is only getting its normal temp and press time then.

press the one that requires the most heat first.

Don't overlap different vinyls (per mfg). They may seperate.
