Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)


What is HTV?
Great for Personalization
Easily customize names, numbers, and slogans.
Fast Turnaround
Minimal setup makes it perfect for small batches or rush jobs.
Clean Finish
Sharp lines and bold colors with no bleeding.
Flexibility
Preferred
HTV is a vinyl material cut into designs and heat-pressed onto garments using a heat press machine.
Ideal for cotton, polyester, and blends—great for custom tees, jerseys, and promotional wear.
Yes, it holds up well with proper care and can last through many washes without peeling.
It’s best for bold shapes and text—fine details may not cut or press cleanly.
Limitations of HTV
HTV is not ideal for intricate, multi-color designs or large prints. It may crack, peel, or fade over time and requires precise heat application to avoid damaging delicate fabrics.
Limited for Complex Designs
Not suitable for detailed, multi-color artwork or photo prints with gradients and fine shading.
Size Restrictions
Large HTV designs may feel stiff, reduce breathability, and affect the garment’s movement.
Durability Over Time
Repeated washing and heat can cause vinyl to crack, peel, or fade with time.
Heat Sensitivity
Some delicate fabrics may scorch, shrink, or wrinkle under high temperatures required for application.
