Learn More About Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)

What Is Heat Transfer Vinyl?

Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) is a thin polyurethane material designed to be cut into graphics, lettering, and logos using a vinyl cutter. After weeding away the excess material, the design is transferred onto a garment using a heat press.

HTV is one of the most popular decoration methods for custom apparel because it produces vibrant colors, excellent durability, and crisp detail without the need for screens or inks.

What Is HTV Used For?

Heat transfer vinyl is commonly used to decorate t-shirts, hoodies, team uniforms, workwear, bags, hats, and promotional products. It is ideal for custom names, numbers, logos, and short production runs where screen printing may not be practical.

Why Choose Poli-Flex HTV?

Poli-Flex® heat transfer vinyl from POLI-TAPE is known for its soft feel, easy cutting, excellent weeding characteristics, and long-lasting durability. It adheres well to cotton, polyester, cotton/poly blends, and many performance fabrics when applied according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Poli-Flex HTV is available in a wide range of colors and specialty finishes, making it suitable for everything from everyday apparel to athletic uniforms and promotional garments.

Using HTV with a Vinyl Cutter

HTV is designed to be cut using vinyl cutters from manufacturers such as Siser, Roland, Graphtec, and others. Once cut, the excess material is weeded away before the design is transferred to the garment using heat and pressure.

Choosing the Right Heat Transfer Vinyl

The best HTV depends on the garment material, application requirements, and desired finish. Standard polyurethane films are suitable for most apparel, while specialty HTV products are available for stretch fabrics, reflective graphics, metallic finishes, glitter effects, and other decorative applications.
