Of all the decorating methods available, heat transfer vinyl is one of the least expensive. Heat transfer vinyl is either a polyurethane (PU) or poly vinyl chloride (PVC) material that comes on a clear carrier sheet. Designs are cut from the material while leaving the carrier intact for application. Heat transfer vinyl is available in a wide selection of colors and finishes such as glitter, flock, glow in the dark, and even patterns. Once your design is cut, the excess material that isn’t part of the design is removed or “weeded” away. Weeding is the process of taking a tool and pulling the excess material away from the carrier. When your design is cut and weeded, you can heat apply it to a variety of fabrics using a heat press on the correct fabric setting for a look that’s one of a kind every time! Heat transfer vinyl is so durable that, when applied properly, will outlast the shirt’s fabric. It can be used to create multiple color designs but is restricted to 3 layers max with normal heat transfer vinyls. Heat transfer vinyls cannot be used for full color pictures or anything with gradients, but it is great for creating special effects with its glitter, flocked, holographic, glow in the dark, and 3D puff options. Although each color still has to be cut separately, the final results creates a "wow factor" because of the special effects vinyl used. Layering of special effects vinyls are dependent on the type of vinyls used. Please consult our team of experts when creating designs using special effect vinyls.

Foil Vinyl
Foil gives a metallic finish for a fashionable effect on any garment or promotional piece. It is available in 26 colors and created for a long lasting effect. It is not recommended as a base layer in a multicolored design but can be pressed in different ways to accomplish different effects. With the standard application method a true mirror like finish can be achieved. A matte finish can be attained with a second application that will give the foil a less mirror-like, more matte finish. A distressed finish can be achieved by crumpling the foil and then applying heat. This result is a custom “crackle” like finish that’s still shiny and reflective. Or a multi-color effect can be achieved by applying the base layer as a distressed foil and once it’s cooled, applying a different color piece of smooth foil to fill in the voids.
