Economy Transfer Paper Floating Teddy Bears for Orthotic Thermoplastics

Economy transfer paper Floating Teddy Bears is designed to apply colourful, engaging patterns to thermoplastic materials used in orthotic fabrication. This heat-transfer paper enables clinicians and technicians to create customised orthoses with vibrant finishes.

During the heating process, the design transfers into the surface of the thermoplastic material, producing a deep and long-lasting colour. The result is a smooth, homogeneous finish that resists scuffing and wear while maintaining the structural integrity of the orthotic device.

Key Features

• Heat transfer paper for thermoplastic orthotic materials
• Floating Teddy Bears design for custom finishes
• Creates vibrant, long-lasting colour during heating
• Maintains smooth, scuff-resistant surface
• Suitable for most thermoplastic materials
• Supplied in 5 metre rolls

Applications

This transfer paper is widely used in orthotic workshops to customise AFOs, braces and other thermoplastic devices. The playful teddy bear design makes it especially suitable for paediatric orthoses, helping improve patient acceptance and engagement.

It provides a quick and effective way to personalise orthotic appliances without affecting performance, strength or durability.

Application Guide

1. Cut a template from your thermoplastic material.
2. Cut a piece of transfer paper slightly smaller than the template to avoid contact with the heating plate.
3. Heat the thermoplastic material to its operating temperature.
4. Place the transfer paper face down onto the heated material using minimal pressure.
5. Smooth the paper to remove bubbles or wrinkles (approx. 15–20 seconds).
6. Allow the colouring process to occur at 170–220°C (optimal ~210°C).
7. After 15–45 seconds, remove the paper and continue forming as required.

Caution

• Transfers may bleed or rub off onto fabrics or skin when handled.
• Colour tones may vary depending on material, temperature and processing method.
• Avoid contamination (dust or moisture) between paper and material.
• Do not allow the design to contact heating elements.
• Always use appropriate protective equipment when handling heated materials.
