Siser® Metal is a polyurethane heat transfer vinyl with a genuine brushed metal appearance and a smooth, flat surface — not a glitter, not a foil. It reads like machined metal on the garment, which is why it turns up on athletic wear, band merch, and anything that needs a hard, premium edge.
At 63 microns (2.8 mils) it is one of the thinner specialty films Siser makes, so it stays soft on the shirt and weeds cleanly on fine detail. It ships on a pressure-sensitive carrier that holds small pieces in place while you position the design.
