Process Steps
Process Steps for Glow in the Dark Heat Transfer Vinyl
1. Luminescent Material Lamination
Photoluminescent pigment layer is evenly bonded to the PU substrate under controlled conditions. Important: Ensure uniform pigment distribution for consistent glow.
2. Precision Die-Cutting
CNC cutting plotters cut designs with clean edges to preserve glow continuity. Warning: Use sharp blades for clean cuts to avoid glow discontinuity.
3. Release Liner Application
A cold-peel carrier sheet is applied for easy handling and positioning. Note: Ensure proper alignment before heat transfer.
4. Heat Transfer Application
The glow film is transferred to fabric using a heat press at recommended settings. Important: Use medium pressure to avoid damaging the glow layer.
5. Cooling & Activation
After cooling, the liner is removed. The label is charged by light source to activate glow. Note: Allow sufficient cooling time for best results.
