The Ultimate Guide to Custom Clothing with HTV Printing

What is HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl)?

AtPrint Tuning, we believe great designs deserve the perfect print technique. One of the most popular and versatile methods we use isHTV – Heat Transfer Vinyl. Whether you’re a small brand, an event organizer, or just want to personalize your gear, HTV offers a durable, vibrant, and professional finish.

🔥 What is Heat Transfer Vinyl?

HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl)is a specially designed vinyl material that can be cut into shapes, letters, or custom graphics and then applied to fabric using heat and pressure. Once transferred, it adheres firmly to the textile, creating a clean and long-lasting design.It's perfect forcustom t-shirts, hoodies, caps, bags, and more!

✂️ HOW DOES HTV WORK?

Here’s a quick look at how we apply HTV to your chosen product:

1. Design Creation - Your custom artwork is prepared in vector format for precision cutting.

2. Cutting the Vinyl - The HTV sheet is fed into a cutting machine that slices out your design.

3. Weeding the Design - Excess vinyl is removed, leaving only the artwork.

4. Heat Press Application - Using a high-pressure heat press, the vinyl is transferred onto the product at high temperature (typically around 150–160°C).

5. Cooling and Finishing - After the transfer, we peel off the backing sheet and allow the product to cool – and it’s ready to go!
