Read below for a comprehensive guide on where and how to buy the best HTV.

What To Look For When Buying HTV?

Before you embark on your quest to find the best HTV that the vinyl industry has to offer, you must streamline a few factors. These will help you select the right place to buy the HTV from.

Thickness

The thickness of the vinyl is a very important factor to consider when looking to buy HTV. This determines how easy it will be to cut and weed the vinyl. A good vinyl is neither too thick nor too thin. Thick vinyl looks bulky on the fabric and if it is too thin, it will be difficult to apply. Weeding vinyl that is too thin can be extremely difficult and the design might get damaged.

Color

When deciding to buy HTV, it is good to have a color in mind as most of the shades are not available readily. If you are looking for a specific type of color, you should check out the wide variety we offer at Ahijoy. Most places will just offer you basic hues, but we have everything from neon to rainbow available at your fingertips.

Texture And Pattern

Just like color, there is a limited number of stores where you can find a variety of textures and patterns. Compile a list of patterns or textures that you need for your project and research accordingly. Ahijoy has up to 9 different varieties of HTV with further subcategories like our innovative Puff Glow in the Dark HTV.

Size

You can find vinyl in the form of sheets and rolls. What you should buy depends on the quantity you need and the size of the decal. For example, if you need to create a simple decal for a t-shirt, a single sheet of HTV will suffice. However, if you cannot find the size you are looking for, do not worry as Ahijoy does custom sizes as well!

Material

You might think that HTV can only be used on fabrics, but some HTV can be used on wood, acrylic, glass, canvas, cardstock and much more. It should be noted that some HTV can be used with these surfaces, not all. So, depending on what material you use for your craft, choose your vinyl accordingly.

The Wide Variety
