How it works
Vinyl & heat transfer at Glacier Clothing
The design is cut from sheets of colored vinyl and applied with heat and pressure. Solid shapes and one or two colors give the crispest result, which makes vinyl a natural fit for names, numbers and simple wordmarks.
Heat transfers can also go where embroidery cannot, like a jacket cuff (1–1.5″ wide).
Fabrics that work well
- Cotton and poly blends
- Nylon and technical shells
- Fleece
