Thermochromic & Photochromic HTV That Brings Designs to Life

SHINHAN colour-changing and specialty glitter heat transfer vinyl colour chart


In a market where differentiation matters, color-changing Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) offers brands a powerful way to create interactive, memorable products. Our factory specializes in both Thermochromic HTV and Photochromic HTV, delivering advanced materials that respond intelligently to temperature and sunlight.

What Is Thermochromic HTV?

Thermochromic HTV changes color when exposed to temperature variations. As heat is applied—through body warmth, environment, or touch—the vinyl reveals a new color or pattern, then returns to its original state when cooled.
This makes it an ideal solution for fashion apparel, sportswear, and promotional products, where visual impact and user interaction are key. With precise activation temperature control, our thermochromic HTV is engineered for durability, wash resistance, and consistent performance.

What Is Photochromic HTV?

Photochromic HTV reacts to sunlight and UV exposure, remaining clear or lightly colored indoors and transforming dramatically outdoors. This instant visual shift creates excitement and novelty, making it especially popular for lifestyle products, kidswear, and creative merchandise. Our materials are designed for fast response times and long-lasting color-change effects, even after repeated exposure.

Why Work With Us?

We are not just a supplier—we are a factory-direct manufacturer with in-house R&D and production. This allows us to:

  • Customize colors, activation temperatures, and performance levels

  • Ensure stable quality through strict production control
