Adhesive vinyl is further categorized into three categories based on the strength of the adhesive backing. Adhesive Vinyl is never applied with heat.
Adhesive vinyl will not adhere to fabrics, textiles, or textured surfaces. Most designs require the use of transfer tape to transfer the design to its final destination without misshaping it. To use adhesive vinyl simply cut out a design, peel off the paper backing, and stick your custom decal to any smooth, hard, flat surface. HTV is ideal for creating custom apparel designs that are both durable and washable.Īdhesive vinyl, also known as peel and stick vinyl, self adhesive vinyl film, adhesive film, decal vinyl, craft vinyl, sticker vinyl, sign vinyl, permanent, removable or wall vinyl is a thin flexible material with a pressure sensitive adhesive backing similar to a sticker. When applied with the proper heat temperature and the correct pressure, the heat activated adhesive forms a strong bond on porous surfaces such as fabrics, leathers, and other textiles. It is a specialty material designed with a unique heat-activated adhesive on the back. You may also see it referred to as Heat Set Vinyl, Hot Transfer Film, Iron On Fabric, or Heat Press Vinyl. HTV is the abbreviation of Heat Transfer Vinyl. Heat Transfer Vinyl goes by many different names, but they all mean the same thing.
