htv puff vinyl
HTV puff vinyl is a specialized heat transfer vinyl material that creates a unique raised, three-dimensional effect when heat is applied. This innovative material starts flat but expands and elevates when exposed to heat, resulting in a distinctive puffy texture that adds depth and tactile interest to designs. The vinyl consists of multiple layers, including a carrier sheet, adhesive layer, and the expandable vinyl material itself. When heated to specific temperatures typically ranging from 305-320°F, the material undergoes a chemical reaction that causes it to expand up to 3mm in height. This versatile medium is particularly popular in custom apparel decoration, especially for creating eye-catching designs on t-shirts, sweatshirts, sports jerseys, and children's clothing. The material is compatible with most heat presses and can be cut using standard vinyl cutters, making it accessible for both professional crafters and hobbyists. HTV puff vinyl is available in various colors and can be layered with other vinyl types to create complex, multi-dimensional designs. The material's durability allows it to withstand multiple washes while maintaining its raised appearance, making it ideal for long-lasting decorative applications.
