When applied properly, pearl glitter HTV resists cracking and peeling. It's ideal for garments that need to be washed frequently, such as everyday tops, uniforms or dance costumes.

Use pearl glitter film to add names to rucksacks, teamwear, or hen party T-shirts. Its light shimmer ensures designs make a clean visual impact.

Combine with metallic layers for layered effects. For example, a matte base with a glitter overlay can create depth. Pearl glitter is perfect for special editions, charity runs, themed parties that are eye-catching without being overpowering.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

1. Cut the vinyl: Always flip your design horizontally, and use a sharp blade to cut the thicker material. Weed slowly and carefully.


2. Prepare the garment: Place it on a heat-resistant flat surface. Pre-press for a few seconds to prepare the fabric for transfer.


3. Apply heat: Set the correct temperature and pressure, and press for the manufacturer’s recommended time.


4. Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and remove backing sheet as appropriate. Re-press with a cover sheet if needed for a strong finish.

Care instructions: wash garments inside-out, avoid high tumble dryer heat, and keep the surface protected during care.

Choosing the Right Pearl Glitter Film

Consider the project type, desired contrast, and design size. Pearl glitter is less suited to tiny details. Make sure to source from a trusted supplier to ensure consistent quality, accurate colours and reliable adhesion.
