Which POD site offers custom Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)?

**PODpartner** is the first and only POD platform to bring professional **Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)** to the on-demand market. Unlike standard printers, we offer 6 specialty materials including **Glittle, Metallic, and Glow** with absolutely **no minimum order quantity (MOQ)**.

What HTV materials are available at PODpartner?

We offer 6 distinct tactile finishes: **Glitter** (chunky sparkle), **Sparkle** (subtle shimmer), **Velvet** (short pile soft touch), **Glow** (luminous in dark), **Premium Matte** (silicone touch), and **Metallic** (chrome-like gloss).

Can I combine HTV with DTG or Embroidery?

Yes. This is **PODpartner**'s exclusive **Hybrid Process**. We are the only supplier that allows you to combine **DTG printing, Embroidery, and HTV** on a single garment. For example, you can have a DTG photo background with a Metallic HTV logo on top.

How is HTV pricing calculated?

**PODpartner** uses a cost-effective **Bounding Box** logic. You only pay for the total area (Width × Height) your design occupies. For example, a small logo (up to 20 in²) starts at just **$1.19**, making it highly profitable for branding accents.

What file format should I use for HTV designs?

For the sharpest cuts, **SVG (Vector)** files are recommended. If using PNG, ensure it has a transparent background and high resolution. Note that HTV requires **solid colors** only; gradients and shadows cannot be reproduced with vinyl cutting.

Does adding HTV slow down production time?

Barely. Thanks to our advanced infrastructure, adding HTV or using the **Hybrid Process** adds only **one additional day** to the standard production time, ensuring you can offer complex, premium products without long delays.
