How to Get Speciality Metallic & Neon Heat Transfers

Speciality finishes are a simple way to add value to your products at minimal extra production cost.

Heat Transfer Vinyl offers a wealth of speciality finishes such as glitter, shimmer, metallic and glow-in-the-dark. But how can you achieve these types of finishes without spending all your time cutting and weeding HTV? Weeding can take up a significant amount of time making your work days longer and your profits stretching thinner. There is a better way!

Custom Heat Transfers are the simplest way to print artwork onto garments. You upload your artwork online, the transfers arrive fully finished and all you have to do is apply them with your heat press. No cutting. No weeding required!

Heavily textured finishes such as glitter are yet to be achieved using a printed heat transfer and are best kept to simple, easy-to-weed HTV. But if you're looking for metallic, shimmer and neon finishes, come on down. Right this way, sir. Boy, do we have a time-saving hack for you!

What effects can you add to your Screen Printed Heat Transfers? 

Metallic - These are soft and shimmery and come in classic metallic colours such as bronze, silver, gold and rose gold.

Shimmer - These inks are best described as fine glitter dust. They offer a smooth finish but pack a glittery shimmery finish

Fluorescent - More commonly known as neon, not only do these colours pop brightly on a garment but they also glow vibrantly under a UV light.

What markets can you incorporate speciality finishes in to?

Metallic finishes are commonly found in retail and fashion. Shimmer inks are very popular around Christmas time because of how closely they resemble a fine glitter dust but they can also be incorporated into dancewear, cheer attire and childrens clothing. Fluorescent inks are commonly used in summer clothing, safetywear and sports attire. But the opportunities do not stop there! There really are no limits as to where these speciality finishes can be used to add product value.
