STAHLS' CAD-CUT SportsFilm – Mid Grey 740: Professional Heat Transfer Vinyl

Create sharp, professional and durable textile designs with STAHLS' CAD-CUT SportsFilm – Mid Grey 740. This versatile grey heat transfer vinyl is made from flexible polyurethane and is designed for both intricate details and larger graphics. It is an excellent choice for lettering, names, numbers, logos, sponsor graphics and decorative designs on a wide range of garments and textile products.

As one of STAHLS' popular heat transfer films, SportsFilm combines easy cutting, reliable weeding and fast heat application. The elegant Mid Grey 740 shade provides a modern, professional appearance that works particularly well on both light and dark fabrics. Its high opacity and matt finish help create clean, consistent results for professional textile printing, garment decoration and custom clothing production.

Thanks to its adhesive polyester carrier, CAD-CUT SportsFilm is especially useful for detailed artwork. Small letters, fine lines and intricate elements remain securely positioned on the carrier during weeding and application, helping you achieve accurate results with less handling and greater control.

• Short application time: Can be applied in as little as five seconds at the recommended temperature.
• Multi-layer compatible: Suitable for creating multi-colour designs by layering different colours.
• Thin and flexible: At only 80 microns thick, the material provides a comfortable feel on the garment.
• Washable up to 60°C: Designed to withstand regular use and washing when correctly applied.

Ideal for detailed textile designs

The adhesive carrier makes STAHLS' CAD-CUT SportsFilm particularly suitable for detailed heat transfer applications. Once the design has been cut in reverse, the unwanted vinyl can be weeded away while the required letters, shapes and graphic elements remain held on the carrier.

This makes grey heat transfer vinyl an excellent option for professional garment decorators, sign makers, sports clubs, businesses, associations and creative users. Use it for player names and numbers, company logos, sponsor branding, slogans, workwear graphics, club clothing and personalised merchandise.

Create multi-colour heat transfer designs

CAD-CUT SportsFilm Mid Grey 740 can be used in multi-layer applications, giving you greater creative flexibility when producing multi-colour logos and graphics. Combine the neutral mid-grey shade with other SportsFilm colours to create eye-catching branding, sportswear graphics and personalised textile designs.

When applying multiple layers, short pressing times between individual layers are recommended, followed by a final press once the complete design has been assembled. This helps minimise unnecessary heat exposure to the garment while ensuring a consistent finished result.

How to apply CAD-CUT SportsFilm

For professional results, cut the design in reverse using a suitable cutting plotter and weed away the excess material. Position the design on the garment with the adhesive carrier facing upwards and apply it using a heat press.

CAD-CUT SportsFilm can be applied using either of the following recommended settings:

• 130°C for 10 seconds using medium pressure.
• 150°C for 5 seconds using medium pressure.

Medium pressure is recommended, corresponding approximately to levels 4–6 on a Hotronix® heat press. The carrier can be removed hot immediately after pressing. Always follow the textile manufacturer's care and heat recommendations, and test the material before starting a larger production run.
