Siser Hi-5 Textile | Cut-Only Heat Transfer Vinyl

Siser Hi-5 Textile is a high-performance cut-only heat transfer vinyl (HTV) engineered for today’s technical textiles and modern garment decoration workflows. It is a soft, thin PU film on an adhesive polyester backing, specifically developed for application onto polyester-based technical fabrics, performance wear and garments made with cotton/elastic fibre blends. If you work with activewear, sports kits, branded uniforms or stretch garments, Hi-5 is designed to give you professional results with speed, comfort and durability.

One of Hi-5’s biggest advantages is its low-temperature, ultra-fast application. It applies in just 5 seconds, helping reduce the risk of heat press marks, fabric scorching and fibre damage — common issues when decorating delicate performance textiles. This makes Hi-5 an excellent choice for printers and garment decorators who want reliable adhesion without over-pressing the garment, especially when working with thinner polyester fabrics or technical sportswear.

Hi-5 is also known for its exceptionally soft feel and thin finish. Once applied, the film blends into the textile rather than sitting on top like a heavy layer. That makes it ideal for garments where comfort matters, such as gym wear, running tops, training kits, and premium fashion tees. Designs remain flexible and wearable, even on stretch fabrics, making it suitable for both professional sportswear production and custom garment personalisation.

Another major benefit is how well Hi-5 performs in layered designs. Because it’s lightweight and easy to handle, it’s a strong option for multi-layer graphics, logos and colour builds, allowing you to create clean, detailed designs without adding bulk. Its self-adhesive backing improves cutting accuracy and makes weeding significantly easier — especially with fine text and intricate shapes — helping reduce production time and errors.

Ideal for:

• Polyester technical fabrics and performance wear
• Sports kits, training tops and activewear
• Cotton/elastane blends and stretch garments
• Logos, names, numbers and multi-colour designs
• Jobs requiring low-temp, quick press application
  

If you want a premium heat transfer vinyl that offers fast application, soft feel, low temperature pressing and clean layering performance, Siser Hi-5 Textile is a standout choice for modern garment decoration — especially on fabrics where standard HTV may leave marks or feel too heavy.
