Give Your Designs a Gentle Glow with Soft Shimmer HTV

Personalising clothing and textiles remains a popular way to express creativity. Of the many types of garment vinyl on the market, pearl glitter vinyl offers a soft shimmer that enhances designs with elegance.

How Does Pearl Glitter Vinyl Work?

Pearl glitter HTV features a shimmering surface that reacts beautifully to light. It’s designed to be pressed onto fabric and performs reliably across popular fabric types.

With a broad shade selection, pearl glitter vinyl is ideal for custom clothing brands, party tops, and gym kits.

Why Choose Pearl Glitter for Garments?

It’s not just about colour—surface effect matters too. Pearl glitter adds depth without heaviness that stays tasteful.

Less harsh than metallics, it captures light from various angles. Its availability in whites, silvers, blues, pinks, and seasonal tones makes it useful for summer wear, school leavers’ hoodies, and more.

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.

Inspiration for Your Next Project

Use pearl glitter film to give plain garments a polished twist. Its soft shine ensures designs stand out subtly.

Combine with matte HTV for layered effects. For example, a matte base with a glitter overlay can lift the entire look. Pearl glitter is perfect for special editions, charity runs, themed parties that are eye-catching without being overpowering.

Using Pearl Glitter Film with a Heat Press or Iron

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

Prepare the garment: Lay it evenly with no creases. Pre-press for a few seconds to eliminate moisture and wrinkles.

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

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 do not iron directly over the design.

What to Consider Before You Buy

Consider the fabric you’re decorating, desired contrast, and design size. Pearl glitter is ideal for bold shapes and text. Make sure to source from a reputable vinyl retailer to ensure consistent quality, accurate colours and reliable adhesion.
