Common Applications

Fashion apparel, spirit wear, promotional garments, logos, lettering and metallic accent graphics.

Choosing This Material

Use Metallic for fashion, spirit wear and promotional graphics where a chrome-style finish is the design feature. Metallic appearance is a decorative effect and should not be confused with retroreflective safety material. For actual nighttime retroreflection, choose a reflective HTV.

Cutting, Printing & Heat-Press Guidance

Use the production workflow specified for this exact material family. For cut HTV, mirror the artwork before cutting, perform a test cut, weed the excess material and heat apply with even time, temperature and pressure. For printable material, verify printer, ink, contour-cut and masking compatibility before production. Always test the actual garment because coatings, dyes, fabric blends and heat sensitivity vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as standard matte HTV?
No. This material has a specialized finish, construction or performance purpose. Select it because that characteristic is appropriate for the finished garment.

Can I use it on any garment?
No heat-transfer material should be assumed compatible with every textile. Confirm the garment fabric and test unfamiliar, coated, sublimated or heat-sensitive garments before production.

Should I test before a production run?
Yes. Test cutting or printing, adhesion, heat tolerance and finished appearance on the actual garment whenever possible.
