Buying Guide

Match film type to your project

Choose glitter or specialty HTV for decorative accents and everyday iron-on or standard vinyl for shirts and consistent coverage

Check roll size and coverage

Compare roll width and length (for example 12 in by multiple-foot rolls and multi-roll bundles) to estimate how many projects a purchase will cover

Confirm cutting-machine compatibility

Look for HTV labeled for use with cutting machines to ensure clean cuts and ease of weeding for intricate designs

Assess heat and pressing requirements

Verify whether the film is iron-on or requires a heat press and match temperature/pressure instructions to your equipment

Consider bundle value and color options

Multi-roll bundles and multi-color packs can offer more variety for garment design and reduce the need for frequent repurchases
