The front of this silicone PU heat transfer vinyl is yellow, the back is blue. It can be used to achieve a double color effect in designs. By layering the vinyl in a specific way, it is possible to create designs that appear to be two different colors. This can add depth and dimension to logos and other graphics.
In addition, the vinyl’s silicone polyurethane material and flexibility make it suitable for producing small batch three-dimensional logos. The vinyl can be cut and shaped to create raised or embossed designs that stand out from the surface of the fabric, adding a tactile element to the design.
The combination of the double color effect and the ability to create three-dimensional logos makes this type of PU heat transfer vinyl a popular choice.
