Basic steps of using reflective heat transfer vinyl

Heat transfer reflective film is a perfect way to make you and your children safe at night-time. Unlike the standard reflective tape that has to be sewed to the clothes, applying the film will take a few minutes. You can do it even at home.

How to use it?

High temperatures (100 – 150 °C)  make heat transfer retroreflective tape stick safely to the fabric. Applying it on the clothes will take just a few steps.
 
 
  1. Cut off as much of the reflective film as you need;
  2. Here are two sides: the darker one is for the heat transfer effect. The face side is for sticking the film to the clothes.
  3. Smooth out the fabric and put the heat transfer film on it;
  4. Before applying the heat transfer film, put the thin cotton material between it and a heat transfer machine or an iron. Reflective  tape transfers to the fabric in 4-5 seconds;
  5. Wait for the upper layer to cool off and remove the protective film;

Just five easy steps – and any item can become reflective.

 

To what kind of fabrics does the vinyl stick?

The polyurethane-based film perfectly sticks to the backpack textiles, rainwear fabric, cotton, and stretch materials. Using a cutting plotter, you can cut out any images, logos, and inscriptions.

 

What is the material of the film? How long will it last?

The film is made of polyurethane. It sticks very safely. More than 40 delicate washes are possible without any changes in the reflective effect.

The light-reflective heat transfer vinyl has a range of advantages:

  1. Reflects light from more than 250 meters distance;
  2. It is an easy way to make the heat transfer in five steps;
  3. Fits for almost all kinds of fabric;
  4. It has a pleasant grey color during the day and a snow-white reflection in the dark;
  5. Washing does not affect its reflective properties;
  6. Flashes immediately even if the light is dim;
  7. Makes you more visible/noticeable by the road;
  8. Reflective film feels good to touch on the item;
