Description
Reflective heat transfer vinyl (HTV) is a type of vinyl that has a reflective coating on one side. It is used to create designs that are visible at night, making it a popular choice for safety gear, clothing, and accessories.
Reflective HTV is made up of a thin layer of vinyl with a heat-activated adhesive on one side and a reflective coating on the other. The reflective coating is made up of tiny glass beads that reflect light back to the source. This makes the design visible at night, even when it is dark.
Reflective HTV is easy to use. To apply it, you will need a heat press or an iron. First, cut the HTV to the desired size of your design. Then, place the HTV on the fabric or garment with the adhesive side down. Use the heat press or iron to apply heat to the HTV, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Once the HTV has been heated, peel away the backing sheet. The design should now be permanently transferred to the fabric or garment.
Reflective HTV is a versatile material that can be used to create a variety of projects. It is a good choice for projects that will be used in low-light conditions, such as safety vests, running clothes, and bike helmets. Reflective HTV is also a good choice for projects that will be displayed in dark areas, such as signs and banners.
Here are some of the benefits of using reflective HTV:
- Visible at night

Here are some of the drawbacks of using reflective HTV:

Overall, reflective HTV is a good choice for a variety of projects. It is visible at night, easy to use, and durable. However, it can be expensive and not as flexible as other types of HTV.
Here are some tips for using reflective HTV:
- Use a heat press or an iron that is set to the correct temperature for the type of HTV you are using.

- Peel away the backing sheet while the HTV is still hot.
- If the HTV does not adhere properly, you may need to apply more heat.
- Be careful not to overheat the HTV, as this can cause it to melt.
With a little practice, you will be able to use reflective HTV to create beautiful and durable projects.
