  • Which clothing vinyl to use for polo shirts

    Posted by Martin Pearson on 21 June 2019 at 11:53

    OK so I don’t do clothing or workwear so don’t have a clue about what vinyls are available or would be best for a simple cut vinyl job 😆 😆

    I have an old heat press that I aquired years ago, dug it out the cupboard the other day & tested it & it appears to still work OK. Just thought I would put my name on a couple of polo shirts & possibly something on a couple of t shirts for the Grand Kids but haven’t got a clue what vinyl to use. There seems to be an abundace of different clothing vinyls vailable.
    Nothing fancy, just a plain solid colour vinyl will do

    We use Grafityp for all of our textile vinyl. They do a good range, so you should be able to find something suitable.

    As Jamie says… Grafityp.

    I always use the siser PS range.

    have tried the cheap stuff and even the magicut & xpres films… I’ve never had a failure on Siser and have recently dumped all other stock following a small number of failures, for which I was accused of not applying properly.. done garments for 15 yrs, I think I know…. :bangshead:

    Anyway, Siser PS.

    We used siser ps for years then switched to victory. Like others have said other brands don’t come close to either. Took a long time for victory to convert me over, but we have regular customers and I’ve not seen any difference and no one has said anything. Swapped about a year and half ago. Customer service is good to whilst where saving a few pennies a meter.
