Give Your Designs a Gentle Glow with Soft Shimmer HTV
Personalising clothing and textiles remains a popular way to express creativity. Of the many types of garment vinyl on the market, pearl glitter vinyl offers a soft shimmer that enhances designs with elegance.
How Does Pearl Glitter Vinyl Work?
Pearl glitter garment film features tiny reflective particles in a smooth finish. It’s designed to be transferred with heat and bonds securely to cotton, polyester or blends.
With a broad shade selection, pearl glitter vinyl is ideal for promotional wear, sports kits, and keepsake gifts.
Why Choose Pearl Glitter for Garments?
It’s not just about colour—surface effect matters too. Pearl glitter adds light-catching interest that suits many aesthetics.
Softer than chunky glitter vinyl, it captures light from various angles. 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 remains flexible. It's ideal for garments that need to be washed frequently, such as everyday tops, uniforms or dance costumes.
Inspiration for Your Next Project
Use pearl glitter film to add names to rucksacks, teamwear, or hen party T-shirts. Its dimensional sparkle ensures designs are readable at a distance.
Combine with matte HTV for layered effects. For example, a matte base with a glitter overlay can lift the entire look. Pearl glitter is perfect for boutique collections or single-run prints that are eye-catching without being overpowering.
Using Pearl Glitter Film with a Heat Press or Iron
- Cut the vinyl: Mirror your design before cutting, and use a sharp blade 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: Use a heat press or iron, and press for the manufacturer’s recommended time.
- Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and peel warm or cold as instructed. Re-press with a cover sheet if needed for a strong finish.
