How to Transfer Patterns? How Much Transfer Vinyl Cost?

Oct 29, 2025

When you want to add a nice pattern to a cup or phone case, or accurately transfer a pre-cut sticker onto a target object while doing crafts, it’s easy to make mistakes, get sticky, or even ruin the pattern. That’s where transfer film comes in handy. It’s like a “transfer assistant,” making pattern transfer simple and smooth.

 

Transfer Film Product Features

 

1. Materials

Common transfer film materials include PET and PVC with backing paper, as well as transfer paper and transfer film without backing paper.

 

 

 

2. Sizes

Transfer film comes in many sizes, commonly 1.22m/61cm/30.5cmx50m/80m/100m, and DIY sizes such as 0.305mx1.52m/5m, etc.

 

Specific Functions of Transfer Film

 

1. Precise Pattern Transfer

Whether it’s text cut from a lettering film, cartoon stickers, or decorative patterns, simply place the transfer film on top, press gently, and the film will firmly adhere the pattern. Then, peel off the transfer film along with the pattern, align it with the desired location, press down, and finally slowly peel off the transfer film. The pattern is precisely applied to the target object without any crookedness.

 

2. Protecting Patterns from Damage

During the transfer process, the transfer film completely encloses the pattern, preventing it from being smudged or scratched by fingers during movement, and also preventing breakage. For example, when applying small letter stickers, without transfer film, they are easily difficult to pick up or break into pieces during application. With transfer film, these problems are eliminated.

 

3. Adaptability to Various Surfaces

Transfer film can be used on many different surfaces, such as plastic, metal, glass, paper, and fabric. Various wall advertisements use transfer film to transfer patterns and text.

 

 

Cost Breakdown of Transfer Film

 

1. Low Material Costs

The raw materials for making transfer film are inexpensive, and the production process is relatively simple, resulting in low basic costs. Furthermore, unused sheets can be cut and reused, preventing waste. Compared to hiring a professional to transfer patterns, making your own transfer film saves considerable money.

2. No Additional Equipment Costs

Whether for personal use or small businesses, transfer film doesn’t require specialized machines. A pair of scissors is sufficient for cutting sizes, eliminating the need for additional equipment.

 

3.  More Cost-Effective Bulk Purchases

Bulk purchases, such as buying several large rolls of transfer film at once, often receive discounts, resulting in lower average costs per unit. Small shops making handmade jewelry or custom stickers can further control costs and increase profits by buying transfer film in bulk. Professional manufacturers like ours can also help cut large rolls to the required width if needed.
