PU Heat Transfer Vinyl (PU HTV) is a premium heat transfer material made from polyurethane, designed for high-quality custom apparel and fabric-based crafting. It delivers a soft, lightweight feel, excellent stretch, and long-lasting durability, allowing designs to move naturally with the fabric without cracking, peeling, or fading, even after repeated washing.
Crafters and professionals choose PU HTV because it cuts cleanly, weeds easily, and handles detailed designs with precision. You can cut it using craft cutters, then apply it using heat and pressure from a heat press or household iron. Once applied, the adhesive activates and permanently bonds to the fabric, creating a smooth finish that feels like part of the garment, not a layer on top.
PU HTV works exceptionally well on cotton, polyester, and fabric blends, making it ideal for both everyday wear and professional-grade apparel.
