Create sophisticated, professional and eye-catching garment designs with STAHLS' CAD-CUT Soft Metallic Black – Black 5700. This premium metallic black heat transfer vinyl combines a deep black colour with a smooth metallic sheen, giving logos, lettering, numbers and graphic designs an elegant finish that stands out without becoming overly reflective.
Designed for professional garment decorators, print shops, clothing brands, sports clubs and creative businesses, STAHLS' Soft Metallic Black 5700 offers an excellent combination of visual impact, flexibility and comfortable wear. Its thin construction creates a lightweight finish that follows the movement of the garment, making it ideal for everything from small chest logos to larger statement designs.
Soft Metallic Black 5700 is an excellent choice when ordinary black flex vinyl does not provide enough visual impact. The metallic surface reflects light subtly, creating depth and adding a premium look to otherwise simple designs.
Unlike bright silver or gold metallic films, metallic black offers a more understated appearance. It works particularly well for premium fashion, corporate clothing, merchandise and branding where the design should appear exclusive without becoming too dominant.
On black garments, Black 5700 can create an attractive tone-on-tone effect where the metallic reflection makes the design visible as the light changes. On white, grey and coloured garments, the deep black shade creates strong contrast while retaining its elegant metallic appearance.
STAHLS' CAD-CUT Soft Metallic has a material thickness of approximately 63 microns. The thin construction helps the transfer feel lighter and more flexible than many traditional special-effect heat transfer films.
This makes Soft Metallic Black particularly suitable for larger logos, back prints and graphic elements where a thick vinyl could otherwise feel heavy or rigid. The material follows normal garment movement and provides a smooth surface with a professional finish.
Its combination of softness and metallic appearance makes Black 5700 a versatile option for businesses that want to add extra perceived value to customised garments.
STAHLS' Soft Metallic Black heat transfer vinyl can be used for a wide range of commercial and creative applications, including:
The metallic black finish can be used for an entire design or as an accent colour alongside other suitable CAD-CUT materials. It is particularly effective for outlines, lettering and selected design elements where a subtle metallic contrast is required.
CAD-CUT Soft Metallic Black 5700 can be processed using standard cutting plotters designed for heat transfer vinyl. The artwork should be mirror cut before the excess material is weeded away.
A recommended minimum line thickness of approximately 1.5 mm helps provide reliable cutting and straightforward weeding. Very small lettering or exceptionally fine details should always be test cut before production, as the final result will depend on the cutter, blade condition, speed and cutting pressure.
The adhesive polyester carrier keeps individual letters and graphical elements securely positioned while the design is weeded, handled and transferred to the garment.
For a standard single-colour application, the following settings can be used as a starting point:
Position the weeded design on the garment with the carrier facing upwards. Make sure the garment lies completely flat and that seams, buttons, zips or pockets do not prevent even pressure across the design.
Allow the transfer to cool before carefully removing the carrier. As fabrics and heat presses can vary, a test application should always be carried out before starting larger production runs.
STAHLS' CAD-CUT Soft Metallic Black 5700 is suitable for a range of commonly used garment materials, including:
Polyester fabrics should always be tested before production because dyes, coatings and heat sensitivity can affect adhesion or cause dye migration. Testing is particularly important when decorating highly coloured or sublimated polyester garments.
Following the correct washing and care instructions helps preserve the metallic surface, adhesion and appearance of the finished design.
