heat transfer puff vinyl
Heat transfer puff vinyl is a specialized material designed to create raised, three-dimensional designs on fabric surfaces. This innovative textile decoration technology combines the durability of traditional heat transfer vinyl with a unique expansion property that creates an eye-catching raised effect when heat is applied. The material starts as a flat vinyl sheet containing heat-activated expanding agents. When subjected to specific temperature ranges typically between 305-320°F, these agents cause the vinyl to expand and create a soft, cushioned texture that rises above the fabric surface. The technology behind heat transfer puff vinyl ensures excellent adhesion to various fabric types, including cotton, polyester, and cotton-poly blends. The material features a pressure-sensitive carrier that enables easy weeding and positioning of designs, making it ideal for both simple and intricate patterns. Professional crafters and businesses particularly value its versatility in creating custom apparel, sports uniforms, and promotional items. The puff effect adds a premium tactile dimension to designs, making them stand out from standard vinyl applications and screen printing methods.
