Standout Pearlescent Metallic HTV Transfers
Electric Vinyl is a specialty heat transfer vinyl known for its bright pearlescent metallic sheen and glossy appearance. It delivers a distinctive look similar to the visual impact of foil transfers while providing a durable, wearable finish.
Electric Vinyl adheres to fabric through heat and pressure, allowing the adhesive backing to bond with the material when properly applied.
It works well on cotton, polyester, cotton blends, and leather, and can be layered to create multi-color designs.
Always test on the intended material before production.
