Specialty HTV offers heat-activated vinyl with unique visual or tactile effects. Some reflect light with a rainbow shimmer. Others absorb light and glow in darkness. Heat makes some expand and rise, creating a 3D soft-touch finish.
All types work on cotton, polyester, and fabric blends. Each cuts cleanly on Cricut and Silhouette machines. You can apply it with a heat press or household iron.
