Guide to Thermal Vinyl Printing

What is Thermal Vinyl printing?

Vinyl is an ideal solution for colorful logos and artwork or photo-realistic designs.
It also works great when you need to print a design on a garment or substrate that doesn’t lend itself to being screen printed due to placement or type of fabric.

Thermal vinyl printing is a decoration method which gives excellent reproduction logo’s especially those with intricate detail. This is a gloss white polyurethane material which contains blockers to prevent colour migration (bleeding).
