What is vinyl printing?

What Is Vinyl Printing?

Vinyl printing (heat transfer vinyl, or HTV) is a method where your design is cut from coloured sheets of vinyl, the excess material is removed by hand, and the design is heat-pressed onto the garment. It gives a clean, solid-colour finish with sharp edges, ideal for names, numbers, logos and text.

Because each design is cut individually, vinyl is perfect for personalisation. Every shirt in a team order can carry a different name and number, with no setup screens and no minimum order.

Artwork Guidelines

  • Vector files work best: AI, EPS, SVG or PDF.
  • High-resolution PNG files are also accepted, and we can prepare them for cutting.
  • Keep designs to solid colours. Gradients and photos suit DTF printing better.
  • Very thin lines and tiny text may not cut cleanly, so we will advise if anything needs adjusting.

Caring for Vinyl Prints

  • Wait 24 hours before the first wash.
  • Wash inside out at 30°C.
  • Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
  • Line dry or tumble dry on low. Never iron directly on the vinyl.
FAQs

Vinyl Printing FAQs

What is vinyl printing?

Vinyl printing, also called heat transfer vinyl (HTV), cuts your design from coloured vinyl sheets and heat-presses it onto the garment. It creates clean, solid-colour prints with sharp edges.

Is vinyl printing good for names and numbers?

Yes. Vinyl is the most popular method for names and numbers because each item can be personalised individually, making it ideal for sports kits and team wear.

How long does vinyl printing last?

Quality vinyl is flexible and resists cracking and peeling. With the right care, such as washing inside out at 30°C and not ironing directly on the print, it lasts for many washes.

What finishes are available?

We offer matte, metallic, glitter and neon vinyl finishes in a range of colours.

What is the difference between vinyl and DTF printing?

Vinyl uses cut sheets of solid colour and is best for text, names, numbers and simple logos. DTF prints full-colour designs onto film, so it suits detailed artwork, gradients and photos.

Is there a minimum order for vinyl printing?

No. Vinyl needs no screen setup, so we can print a single item as well as full team or staff orders.

Do you offer same-day vinyl printing in London?

Yes, same-day printing and delivery is available across London for urgent orders. Contact us early in the day to check availability.

What file format should I send?

Vector files such as AI, EPS, SVG or PDF work best. High-resolution PNG files are also accepted, and our team can prepare them for cutting.
