So, what exactly is heat transfer vinyl wholesale?

[Polly Lieberman]

Heat Transfer Vinyl Wholesale, often abbreviated to HTV is a thin flexible film with a heat activated adhesive coating on one side and a clear, usually tacky, carrier liner on the other. Rarely is it actually 'vinyl', more commonly it is produced from film types such as Polyester or Polyurethane, there are also a huge range of colours, textures and special finishes.Generally, unless you have an HTV that is designed to be printed first, the dull adhesive layer sits on the top outer surface of the roll or sheet. Unlike self-adhesive vinyl, the adhesive coating is not tacky, as it is only activated when heated, therefore when you cut your shapes you must remember to reverse the design as you will be turning the material over so that the built in carrier liner sits on top when you heat press or iron your media. This liner is usually tacky, ensuring your design remains in place whilst you apply the film.

HTV is usually kiss cut on a vinyl cutter, but may also be hand and die cut into decorative shapes and letters and heat pressed onto a range of garments and all sorts of textile based and heat resistant surfaces. Some smooth non textured films can be layered on top of each other, however textures, such as glitters and flock for example, will not provide a suitable surface for other films to adhere to so must be inlaid like a jigsaw when reproducing multicoloured designs.
