Cutting, layering and care
Cutting and weeding
Cut mirrored with a 45° blade and light force
Weed at room temperature; fine lines hold well on the thin film
Always use a cover sheet to protect the mirror surface
Layering
Top layer only; the mirror surface does not accept another film
A tacked PU base can create an outline underneath
Care instructions for the garment label
Wait 24 hours before the first wash
Wash inside out at up to 60 °C; no bleach
Tumble dry low; do not iron directly on the design; no dry cleaning
Structure and technology
A metallised polyester film with a hot-melt adhesive on a 100 µm PET carrier.
The thin metallised layer gives the mirror effect; the adhesive bonds at 140 °C so the surface is not dulled by heat.
Made in Yangju and checked for gloss, colour and adhesion on every batch.
Quality and compliance
Every batch is checked for colour difference, adhesion, thickness and surface before slitting and sheeting. Retained samples and production records are kept so reorders match. QC report on request with each shipment.
