Bulk Waterslide Decal Paper & Sublimation Transfer Paper Wholesale

Paper size is limited by the slitter not the coating machine. The maximum width of our water transfer paper is 700mm. For example, we can cut 700 (width)*1000mm (length) paper. In addition, the regular size is 50*70cm, 60*80cm, 39*54cm, etc.

Below are the GSM of our water slide paper: 160gsm, 170gsm, 180gsm, 185gsm, 195gsm.

Yes. We have the blue color water decal paper. It’s a bit different from other papers. Only the printing side is blue color. And the back side is still white. But it won’t affect the use. It is suitable for printing patterns with white color.

Firstly, the humidity in the printing room is kept at 40% to 50%. Secondly, the storage room should be slightly drier. Try not to exceed 30% of storage humidity. Otherwise, it will affect the application of water transfer paper.

We can fulfil almost all your transfer paper requirements. Besides, our papers are extremely cost-effective. So welcome to buy from us.

Firstly, we can provide free samples for you to test in advance. When the test is OK, then purchase the waterslide decal papier in bulk. Secondly, we can guarantee high quality. Besides, ensure the stability of the bulk papers. For example, the sticker pattern is clear. After baking, there is film shadow and popping phenomenon. Good sliding property. No residue after sliding. In addition, the decal adhesion is good. Third, you can pay the full amount after the production is ready..

We produce the waterslide decal papier fastly. For example, the normal production time for 200,000 sheets is 7 days. So our factory can arrange the shipment soon.

Sorry.  We don’t produce the inks. But we can recommend some manufacturers.

There is one very remarkable feature of paper. That is, it is very sensitive to water or moisture. If not package well, the paper will get damp. In the end, it will affect the effect of the transfer printing.

Usually we pack them in plastic bag and carton. Or pack them on the kraft paper bag. Both of them have good sealing effect. The former is usually 500 sheets/bag. The latter is generally 250 sheets/bag. After production, we pack them onto pallets. Wrap them in plastic film. Then tie them with strapping tape.

It bases on different applications and materials. For example, it doesn’t to bake the decal paper on candles. If for helmet, the baking temperature is not high. But for ceramic decals, we usually need to bake them at high temperature, such as 800℃ or 1300℃.

Yes. It’s safe. Firstly, our transfer paper is safe. We use virgin wood pulp to produce it. It passes SGS certificate. However, it is the ink that needs attention. We must use lead-free ink to produce ceramic decals. Otherwise, there will be harmful substances to release during use. Many poor tableware use inferior stickers. Therefore, we must use high quality tableware. They can pass the lead-free machine test.

Not exactly. Its adhesion is determined by product material and application process. Most water transfer paper pattern is not permanent. Firstly, tattoo stickers only stay on for a few days. Candle sticker patterns are also temporary. Secondly, most water decals can stay on for many years. This is the case with tumblers and mugs decals for example. Finally, there are also permanent ones. 1300C ceramic patterns just never fades. Of course, many 800C ceramic patterns are not permanent.

In summary, permanent decal patterns are in the minority. It has to do with the baking temperature. If want to increase adhesion,we can also spray vanish on pattern after application.

No. The paper surface has water-soluble glue. So water slide decal papier is very sensitive to moisture.  If it gets damp, it will seriously affect the printing effect. Therefore, we must seal the paper well when using and storing. Pay attention to air humidity and ventilate well.

In fact, it easy to distinguish. There is a layer of glue on the printing side. So waterslide decal papier is glossy. On the contrary, the matte side is the back side.

In the case of large sheet decal paper, we tend to use silk screen or offset printers. They aim at high volume industrial sticker production. This can reduce production costs. In addition, it needs to use the water transfer printing inks.

For A3 or A4 decal paper, we usually use inkjet or laser printers. In this case, we focus on printing flexibility. They can print as many patterns as you want. This makes it easy for us to customize DIY decals. Additionally, the inkjet decal paper needs the water-based pigment ink & dye Ink.

There is another kind of using digital inkjet printers. At this point we use small rolls of paper and solvent-based inks.

Some inkjet decal papers need to spay the acrylic aerosol paint. It plays on the function of transfer printing. However, in most cases we use a clear varnish to the pattern surface. It has wide applications in furniture. It can protect the patterns.

Water transfer paper contains different types. We can classify them in different ways.

(1) Classify it in to 3 types according to the printing method. That is, silk screen, printable and digital printing paper.

① The first one is suitable for industrial printing. It is also suitable for offset printing. The price is cheaper than the second one. But it requires us to invest money to purchase the printing machines. It also needs professional staffs to operate the printing. Besides, we also need to buy special water transfer printing ink. We often use them to make helmets and ceramic tableware decals.

② The second printable decal paper is different. It is more suitable for small batch printing. It contains 2 types of paper. That is, inkjet and laser water transfer paper. The price of this paper is relatively more expensive. But it is not necessary to invest a lot of money to buy big printers. Desktop inkjet or laser printers will do. This type of paper has an extra coating layer on top. Therefore, we can directly print the pattern we want. Then it’s very flexible. We tend to use it to make DIY stickers. For example, we usually use it to make mug or tumbler decals.

③ The third one is a kind of roll paper. We can print the pattern on the digital printer. The key point is that the ink is also different. It uses solvent-based ink. Of course, this kind of paper is the most expensive.
