Description: 3D Effect Puff Photoluminescent Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)

1. Overview

The EVERYGLOW® 3D Effect Puff Photoluminescent Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) represents the next generation of garment decoration technology. This innovative glow in the dark heat transfer film combines a dramatic dimensional “puff” expansion with advanced photoluminescent pigments. Upon heat application, the vinyl expands to create a raised, 3D texture that stands out from the fabric, providing a tactile experience while emitting a brilliant, sustained glow in total darkness.

The Photoluminescent heat transfer vinyl material is specifically designed for high-end streetwear, fan merchandise, and creative apparel designers who want to combine structural depth with luminous visibility.

2. Key Features

Dimensional Expansion: The film “puffs” up when heat-pressed, transforming flat designs into embossed-style 3D graphics.
High-Intensity Afterglow: Loaded with premium strontium aluminate crystals, providing 8–10+ hours of visible glow (available in Neon Green and Aqua Blue).
Unique Tactile Feel: Offers a soft, foam-like raised surface that is lightweight and flexible on the garment.
High Contrast Visibility: The 3D profile catches ambient light from various angles, enhancing both the daytime shadow-effect and the nighttime glow.
Superior Adhesion: Engineered to bond securely with cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics, maintaining its 3D shape through repeated wear.

3. Technical Specifications

Property	Typical Value

Finished Thickness	Up to 500+ microns (after heat expansion)
Glow Duration	Class B/C Performance (8–12 Hours)
Standard Colors	Natural White (Glows Green) / Aqua White (Glows Blue)
Carrier	Non-Sticky / Pressure Sensitive Polyester Liner

4. Application Instructions (CRITICAL)

To achieve the perfect “puff” effect and ensure the glow performance is maintained, follow these specific parameters:

Cut Profile: Cut in Reverse (Mirror Image). Ensure blade depth is sufficient for the slightly thicker initial film.
Temperature: 145°C – 155°C (290°F – 310°F). Note: Too much heat can “collapse” the puff.
Pressure: Firm Pressure is required to ensure the expansion happens uniformly.
Time: 8–12 seconds.
Peel: HOT PEEL. Remove the carrier immediately after the press opens to allow the material to expand freely without restriction.

5. Primary Applications

Streetwear Branding: Raised, glowing logos on oversized hoodies and t-shirts.
Fan Merchandise: Concert and event apparel where the 3D texture adds a premium “retail” look.
Creative Typography: Making text and slogans pop off the fabric with both physical height and light.
Outerwear: Adding luminous, dimensional accents to caps, bags, and jacket backs.

6. Care & Maintenance

Wash Inside Out: Always wash the garment inside out to protect the 3D raised surface from abrasion.
Temperature: Machine wash cold or warm.
Drying: Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not use high-heat drying cycles.
Ironing: DO NOT IRON directly on the puffed vinyl. The heat from a household iron will flatten the 3D effect permanently. Iron from the reverse side if necessary.
