Short answer: They often can at a suitable low setting, but high heat can shorten the life of some prints and garments.

What to consider

Air drying or low heat is the conservative choice when preserving decoration matters. The right decision should reflect the garment, printing method, quantity, workplace or event conditions, and how the order will be distributed.

A practical checklist

  • Define the intended use and required quantity
  • Confirm garments, sizes and colors
  • Submit final, high-quality artwork
  • Approve spelling, placement and print dimensions
  • Confirm production, delivery and care expectations
LuxPort tip: Do not iron directly on the printed area.

Protecting the bulk order

Keep one authorized coordinator, a final size matrix and a clearly named artwork version. Save the approved specification for reorders. For deadline-sensitive projects, plan around the in-hand date and allow time for internal distribution.
