Create distinctive, premium and professional garment designs with STAHLS' Puff Metallic Silver Heat Transfer Vinyl – Metallic Silver 818. This specialist metallic silver puff HTV expands during heat pressing to create a soft, raised and three-dimensional surface with an eye-catching metallic finish.
Unlike conventional flat heat transfer vinyl, STAHLS' Puff Metallic Silver 818 adds noticeable depth and texture to logos, lettering, numbers and graphic designs. The combination of a raised puff effect and metallic silver appearance makes it an excellent choice for garments and merchandise that need to stand out.
Ideal for hoodies, sweatshirts, T-shirts, streetwear, teamwear, promotional clothing and branded merchandise, this metallic silver heat transfer vinyl gives simple designs a premium and contemporary appearance while maintaining clearly defined edges.
Metallic Silver 818 combines the dimensional appearance of puff vinyl with a stylish silver metallic surface. The result is a heat transfer material that gives garments additional character, texture and visual impact.
The metallic silver colour works particularly well on black, navy, royal blue, red and other dark garments where the reflective-looking silver surface creates strong contrast. It can also be applied to lighter garments for a more subtle, premium finish.
Use Metallic Silver 818 for brand logos, names, initials, numbers, slogans, monograms, sports graphics, fashion designs and larger decorative elements where an ordinary flat HTV would not provide enough impact.
STAHLS' Puff is designed to expand when exposed to the correct combination of heat, pressure and time. During heat pressing, the material develops into a raised, rounded surface that can both be seen and felt.
This dimensional effect makes puff heat transfer vinyl especially popular for modern streetwear, fashion garments, premium merchandise and personalised clothing. Even a simple wordmark or logo can become significantly more visually appealing when converted from a flat design into a raised metallic print.
For the best result, use strong designs with sufficiently wide lines and larger graphic elements. Very thin lettering and intricate details may not allow the material to expand evenly.
STAHLS' Metallic Silver Puff HTV is particularly effective on heavier garments such as sweatshirts and hoodies. These textiles provide a stable surface that complements the substantial three-dimensional effect of the material.
Suitable applications include:
The metallic silver finish is particularly effective for premium apparel collections, event merchandise, sportswear and branded garments where both texture and appearance are important.
Puff HTV performs best when used for designs with clear shapes, bold fonts and sufficiently large elements. STAHLS recommends a minimum line thickness of approximately 8 mm to support reliable cutting, weeding and development of the puff effect.
Suitable designs include large letters, numbers, monograms, geometric shapes, symbols, bold company logos and contemporary graphic artwork. Small text, thin fonts and highly detailed artwork should be tested before production.
Simple cut lines can also be incorporated into larger areas of the design to create recessed details within the raised surface, producing an embossed or engraved-style appearance.
STAHLS' Puff Metallic Silver 818 can be cut using a compatible vinyl cutting plotter. The design should be mirror cut before application so that it appears in the correct orientation once transferred to the garment.
With a material thickness of approximately 520 microns, blade pressure, cutting speed and blade depth should be adjusted to suit the specific cutter being used. A small test cut is always recommended before beginning production.
After cutting, remove the excess vinyl from around the design. The adhesive carrier helps keep lettering and separate graphic elements correctly aligned during weeding and positioning.
After cutting and weeding, position the design on the garment with the carrier facing upwards. Ensure the design is straight and correctly positioned before placing it in the heat press.
Always test the chosen garment before production, as textile construction, thickness and surface treatments can influence adhesion and the final height of the puff effect.
Ensure that the heat press provides even temperature and pressure across the complete design. Seams, pockets, zips and buttons can create uneven pressure and should be avoided or compensated for with a suitable heat press pillow.
STAHLS' Puff Metallic Silver 818 is not designed for multi-layer applications. Other heat transfer vinyl materials should not be applied directly on top of the puff surface, and puff vinyl should not be pressed over existing HTV layers.
For multi-colour artwork, position individual materials next to each other rather than overlapping them. This allows the puff material to expand correctly and helps maintain an even three-dimensional finish.
STAHLS' Puff Metallic Silver Heat Transfer Vinyl can be suitable for:
Always perform a test application before production, particularly when working with polyester, performance garments or sublimated fabrics. Heat sensitivity, coatings and dye migration can affect the finished result.
