Mix it with matte or holographic HTV. This film works well for limited edition clothing drops while keeping production practical and cost-effective.
Applying Pearl Glitter HTV: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Prepare and cut your design: Flip your layout horizontally. Use a blade suitable for thicker HTV and weed carefully.
- Set your garment in place: Lay it flat on a heat-resistant surface. Pre-press briefly to prepare the surface.
- Apply heat evenly: Use a heat press or iron, ensuring you follow correct time and pressure settings.
- Peel the carrier sheet: Let the vinyl cool for a few seconds, then peel as advised—based on brand instructions. A final press with a protective sheet adds durability.
Wash garments inside-out, avoid high heat drying, and do not iron directly over the vinyl to maintain its appearance.
Things to Consider Before You Start
Check that your chosen vinyl suits the garment and level of detail. For larger logos or bold elements, pearl glitter performs very well. Very fine text or detailed images might not be best suited to this slightly thicker film type.
Buying from a reliable specialist supplier ensures you receive vinyl that works properly every time.
