Textile Transfer Vinyl is one of the most popular and accessible techniques in the world of textile customization. It consists of using heat-adhesive vinyl sheets in colors that are cut with a cutting plotter following the desired design, and then transferred to the garment using a heat press.
The process is simple and efficient: first, the graphic is designed on the computer and sent to the cutting plotter, which precisely cuts the vinyl following the design contours. Next, the excess material is removed (a process called "weeding"), leaving only the design we want to transfer. Finally, it is placed on the garment and heat and pressure are applied with a heat press for a few seconds. Once cooled, the protective plastic is removed and the design is perfectly adhered to the fabric.
This technique is especially valued for its versatility, speed, and low initial cost. It is ideal for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and workshops that need to produce customized designs quickly, especially for names, numbers, corporate logos, and designs with few colors. It offers professional results with a very accessible equipment investment.
