What Are Heat Transfer Vinyl Papers?
Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) Papers are printable films that adhere to fabrics, textiles, and other compatible surfaces when heat and pressure are applied. These materials are widely used in garment printing and customization because they deliver vivid prints, durable adhesion, and sharp design quality.
Unlike other transfer papers that come in fixed roll lengths, these HTV papers sold per metre give you flexibility and precise costing — especially important for Kenyan printing businesses, tailors, schools, and startups
