Heat Transfer Vinyl On Wood

HTV takes less time and effort to apply.
Weeding HTV is easier and any mistakes, such as accidentally ripping a part of the design, can be fixed during application.
It requires a heat press machine to work with.
Looks more like the sign is painted on the wood rather than a sticker.
HTV may not be as resilient and work well for indoor wood signs or those that will be put up in protected outdoor areas.

Permanent Adhesive Vinyl On Wood

Applying is not a time-consuming procedure either.
You need transfer tape for perfect application.
Looking up close you will be able to gauge that it is a sticker. Won’t give a sleek, painted look.
It might peel up at the edges if not sealed properly.
If your sign will be exposed to the outdoors or a lot of detrimental elements in the environment, permanent adhesive vinyl may offer better durability.
