Choose transfer tape for adhesive vinyl

Select by film finish, tack and usable tape width before applying the cut design.

Start with the vinyl finish

Smooth adhesive vinyl may call for regular transfer tape. Textured media may call for a higher-tack tape, but check the film maker's instructions before substituting it.

Select the format and width

Choose a tape wide enough for the design. A clear grid can help place lettering, and a roll can suit longer work while sheets can suit repeated small applications.

Test pickup and release

Make a small cut using the same vinyl and test the tape and destination surface. Apply and burnish according to the manufacturer instructions before attempting a larger design.

Guide questions

Does high tack work on every vinyl?

Check the exact vinyl instructions. The right tape must both pick up and release the design.

What do the printed grid lines do?

They help position or align a design when you can see it through the tape.

Can I use adhesive transfer tape for iron-on film?

Check the film's own carrier and application instructions first.
