Have you ever noticed how some clothing features a logo or design that is much smoother and sturdier than designs that are created using a traditional screen printed approach? Popular world-wide athletic companies, such as Under Armour, Nike, and Adidas, commonly use a technology called heat transfer vinyl to achieve this effect on their performance gear. Although heat transfer vinyl is most commonly used on jerseys and other athletic apparel, we think it provides an exciting, fresh alternative to embroidery or screen printing for companies and other groups. Recently, we utilized heat transfer vinyl technology to create eye-catching company shirts for Northfork Excavating, based in the Brainerd, Minnesota area.

Here at Krillan, we are excited to offer a wide variety of attention-grabbing colors and textures of vinyl that we can use to customize your apparel and make it your very own. We are also able to utilize glitter, glow-in-the-dark, and reflective vinyls to create an even more fascinating custom design.

Using heat transfer vinyl offers many benefits, such as brighter colors and more placement options, and is the perfect option for low-quantity orders. One thing to note, however, is that heat transfer vinyl technology works best with designs and logos that feature 1-2 colors, since each part of the design is individually cut and layered onto the garment before being transferred using high heat. If you are questioning whether or not heat transfer vinyl is the direction to head for your head-turning custom apparel, contact us and we’ll be more than happy to help you decide what would be the best way for you to achieve your creative vision.
