Take Your Caps to the Next Dimension With These Game-Changing Products

Searching for a fresh way to decorate hats and accessories?

Soft Foam HTV offers all the benefits of traditional HTV, but with a thickness of almost 0.6mm (600 microns), this speciality HTV adds a raised look and feel to any item it’s applied to. Realease just last year by Stahls' UK, the HTV is fast becoming a popular choice for premium raised finishes across retail and wholesale garments.

Soft Foam

Whats the big deal? And, why does it work so well on caps?

  • Soft, Dimensional Texture: It has a unique soft, suede-like texture that adds a raised, dimensional effect to designs, making graphics stand out more than standard flat HTV. This pops particularly on the curved surface of a cap.
  • Lightweight and Flexible: Despite its thickness, it’s lightweight and flexible, allowing it to conform easily to the structured or unstructured shape of a cap without cracking or peeling.
  • Matte Finish: The soft, matte finish provides a high-end look, making caps look professionally designed and stylish.
  • Easy to Cut and Weed: It cuts cleanly on most vinyl cutters and weeds easily, even for intricate designs, saving time and reducing frustration during production.
  • Versatility: It works on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends, making it a great choice for all types of caps.
