An Introduction to Rainbow Reflective Heat Transfer Vinyl

Rainbow reflective vinyl is a special material that reflects light back to its source, displaying vibrant rainbow-like colors. It consists of tiny glass beads embedded in a vinyl polymer sheet and comes in sheet or roll formats with an adhesive backing for easy application. This material is suitable for T-shirts, caps, shoes, backpacks, and more. It's created using high-quality PES and TPU materials, ensuring durability and longevity.

How to Use Rainbow Reflective Heat Transfer Vinyl

To use rainbow reflective vinyl, follow these steps:

1. Open your design file and mirror it on your computer.
2. Cut the vinyl with a knife plotter or laser plotter, keeping the transparent layer of the carrier sheet facing down.
3. Weed out any excess material from the design.
4. Use a heat press or home iron to apply the design at 140°C-160°C, applying medium pressure for 8-20 seconds. (Noted: The specific temperature and pressure during application may vary depending on the material. Therefore, to ensure better use of the reflective heat transfer vinyl, it is advisable to inform us of your specific application or provide the base fabric for testing. This will enable us to offer the most suitable instructions for your operation.)
5. Allow the design to cool before removing the carrier sheet.

This process allows you to create eye-catching designs on apparel and accessories, such as bags, caps, and shoes.
