Create distinctive, professional and eye-catching textile designs with STAHLS' CAD-CUT Soft Metallic – Purple 5280. This premium metallic purple heat transfer vinyl features a smooth, reflective finish that catches the light and gives logos, lettering, numbers and creative graphics an elegant metallic appearance.
Soft Metallic Purple 5280 combines a rich purple colour with a sophisticated metallic sheen, making it ideal for fashion garments, personalised clothing, sportswear, dancewear, promotional clothing and merchandise. Whether you are producing individual garments or larger commercial runs, this purple HTV provides an attractive professional finish while remaining thin, soft and flexible on the textile.
With a material thickness of only 63 microns, STAHLS' Soft Metallic creates a lightweight transfer that moves naturally with the garment. This makes it an excellent alternative to heavier speciality vinyls where comfort, flexibility and a premium appearance are equally important.
Soft Metallic Purple 5280 delivers a rich purple colour combined with a smooth metallic surface. When light reaches the finished design, the reflective finish gives the artwork additional depth and creates an elegant premium appearance that stands out from conventional matt heat transfer vinyl.
Purple is particularly effective for designs associated with creativity, luxury, individuality and modern fashion. It can be used as the main colour in a design or as an accent alongside white, black, silver, gold and other compatible colours.
On black and darker garments, Purple 5280 creates a strong and attractive contrast. On white and light-coloured textiles, the metallic purple colour remains vibrant and clearly visible, making it suitable for a wide variety of garment styles.
At just 63 microns thick, CAD-CUT Soft Metallic is exceptionally thin for a decorative effect vinyl. The lightweight construction helps the finished print feel soft and flexible rather than heavy or rigid.
This makes the material particularly suitable for large back prints, chest logos, lettering and decorative graphics. Larger areas of vinyl remain comfortable to wear while still providing the distinctive metallic effect customers expect from a speciality heat transfer material.
The flexible construction also makes Soft Metallic Purple 5280 suitable for garments that experience normal movement and light stretching during use. Highly elastic or performance textiles should always be tested before full production.
STAHLS' CAD-CUT Soft Metallic Purple 5280 can be used for both commercial and creative textile decoration. Even relatively simple typography or graphic shapes gain a more exclusive appearance thanks to the smooth metallic finish.
Popular applications include:
The metallic purple appearance makes Soft Metallic Purple 5280 particularly attractive for fashion collections and personalised garments. Use it on T-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies to create striking chest prints, back graphics, sleeve details, slogans and monograms.
For businesses offering personalised textile printing, the material provides an easy way to expand the range of premium finishes available to customers. The metallic effect can transform an otherwise simple design into a product with a noticeably more exclusive appearance.
Soft Metallic Purple 5280 can also be used for club logos, names, numbers and decorative elements on suitable sports and leisurewear. The metallic finish offers a more distinctive alternative to standard solid-colour flex vinyl and works particularly well for dance clubs, performance teams and event clothing.
Technical polyester garments should always be tested before production because coatings, dyes, stretch characteristics and heat sensitivity can affect adhesion and the finished result.
CAD-CUT Soft Metallic Purple 5280 can be processed with standard cutting plotters designed for heat transfer vinyl. The artwork should be mirrored before cutting so that the design appears correctly after heat application.
Blade pressure, cutting speed and blade depth should be adjusted to suit the cutting machine and condition of the blade. The objective is to cut through the Soft Metallic film without cutting through the polyester carrier.
A small test cut is recommended before starting production. After cutting, remove the unwanted vinyl around the artwork using a weeding tool or fine tweezers.
The pressure-sensitive polyester carrier helps keep letters, numbers and individual graphic elements securely positioned during weeding, handling and application. This is particularly useful for designs containing several separate elements where maintaining the correct spacing is essential.
Once weeded, the complete design can be positioned directly onto the garment before pressing.
Cut the artwork in mirror image and weed away all unwanted material. Position the finished transfer onto the garment with the carrier facing upwards and ensure that the design is correctly aligned before applying heat.
Recommended standard settings for a single-layer application are:
Ensure that the heat press provides even temperature and pressure across the entire design. Seams, zips, pockets, buttons and other raised areas can prevent consistent contact between the heat platen, vinyl and garment. A suitable heat press pillow can help compensate for uneven garment surfaces.
STAHLS' CAD-CUT Soft Metallic Purple 5280 can be suitable for:
Always perform a test application before commencing a large production run. Textile coatings, dyes, construction and elasticity can influence adhesion, colour migration and heat resistance.
