North America Thermal Transfer Material Market Size is Expected to Reach $2166 Million by 2028

Thermal transfer material is a special type of material widely used in heat transfer printing technology. Thermal transfer printing is a technique that transfers patterns or text from one material to another through heating and pressure. This technology does not require the use of ink or other chemicals and is therefore considered an environmentally friendly printing method.

Thermal transfer materials have the characteristics of bright colors, clear patterns, washability, and wear resistance, which can meet the personalized, aesthetic, and practical needs of users. They are widely used in the printing and decoration of industries such as clothing, shoes and hats, luggage, and leather products.
