Abstract
Heat transfers are provided that have indicia for labeling or enhancing the appearance of performance fabric material, such as apparel including sportswear fabrics with elastomeric characteristics. The label assembly includes a support portion with a label carrier layer and a release coating, along with a transfer portion over the support portion release coating that includes an ink design and a hot melt adhesive layer. The hot melt adhesive layer securely transfers the ink design to the fabric at relatively low temperature and pressure conditions for a relatively low dwell time.
