Decorating apparel remains a popular way to express creativity. Of the many types of garment vinyl on the market, pearl glitter vinyl offers a subtle gleam that enhances designs with elegance.
What Makes Pearl Glitter HTV Special?
Pearl glitter garment film features a shimmering surface that reacts beautifully to light. It’s designed to be transferred with heat and performs reliably across popular fabric types.
With a broad shade selection, pearl glitter vinyl is ideal for custom clothing brands, party tops, and gym kits.
Why Choose Pearl Glitter for Garments?
It’s not just about colour—surface effect matters too. Pearl glitter adds light-catching interest that stays tasteful.
Softer than chunky glitter vinyl, it brings movement to flat shapes. Its availability in whites, silvers, blues, pinks, and seasonal tones makes it useful for festive jumpers, bridal party clothing, branded merchandise.
When applied properly, pearl glitter HTV holds up well to regular wear. It's ideal for garments that need to be washed frequently, such as everyday tops, uniforms or dance costumes.
Smart Ways to Work with Glitter Vinyl
Use pearl glitter film to add names to rucksacks, teamwear, or hen party T-shirts. Its soft shine ensures designs make a clean visual impact.
Combine with matte HTV for layered effects. For example, a shimmer accent atop a plain design can create depth. Pearl glitter is perfect for boutique collections or single-run prints that are memorable and wearable.
Using Pearl Glitter Film with a Heat Press or Iron
- Cut the vinyl: Mirror your design before cutting, and use a glitter-compatible blade setting to cut the thicker material. Weed slowly and carefully.
- Prepare the garment: Place it on a heat-resistant flat surface. Pre-press for a few seconds to prepare the fabric for transfer.
- Apply heat: Set the correct temperature and pressure, and press for the manufacturer’s recommended time.
- Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and remove backing sheet as appropriate. Re-press with a cover sheet if needed for a strong finish.
