Thermal Transfer Glitter Vinyl Film - 500mm

Glitter HTV: Choosing the Right Colour and Application Settings

Glitter heat transfer vinyl adds a sparkle effect to custom garments that no other HTV finish can replicate. The metallic glitter particles are suspended in a polyurethane carrier — the result is a durable, wash-resistant transfer with genuine light-scattering sparkle, not a printed metallic pattern.

Our range covers 30+ colours including standard metallics (silver, gold, rose gold), neons, holographics, and seasonal colours. Each colour is a discrete SKU — select the colour you want from the dropdown. All are 500mm wide and sold by the metre.

Glitter HTV Application Settings

Unlike standard HTV, glitter vinyl should be peeled warm (not cold or hot). Waiting until fully cold can cause the glitter surface to pull away from the garment; peeling too hot may stretch the carrier. Aim for 5–8 seconds after press before peeling.

“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Apply glitter HTV at 150–160°C for 15–20 seconds with medium-firm pressure. Peel warm — wait 5–8 seconds after removing from the press, then peel the carrier. If the carrier resists, press for 5 more seconds and try again warm.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Can glitter HTV be layered over other HTV colours?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Yes. Glitter HTV can be layered on top of standard HTV. Apply the base layer first, then layer the glitter on top. Avoid layering glitter under other vinyl — the textured surface does not adhere well to a second layer pressed on top of it.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I cut glitter HTV on my vinyl cutter?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Cut glitter HTV with the glitter side face-down on the cutting mat. Use a sharp blade (45° or 60°) with blade depth set slightly deeper than for smooth HTV — the glitter surface requires more blade force to cut cleanly. Always mirror your design before cutting.”
