Speciality Films

Speciality digital print films offer signmakers, garment decorators, and display professionals a way to add striking visual effects to vinyl graphics and textile applications. These films are designed to stand out, with finishes ranging from glitter and holographic effects to brushed metals, mirrored surfaces and patterned textures. Whether applied to clothing, promotional items, signs, or displays, speciality digital print films help bring extra detail and impact to any project. ATC supplies a wide selection of speciality films that combine strong visual appeal with ease of use and long-lasting performance. From garment vinyls with eye-catching textures to self-adhesive films with metallic or patterned finishes, our range provides plenty of creative options for bold and effective designs.

Garment Decoration Films

A number of speciality films are made for heat transfer onto textiles. These films are used in fashion, sportswear, dancewear, and promotional clothing, adding unique finishes that go beyond standard vinyl colours.

Poli-Flex Image Carbon Fibre is a heat transfer film with a slightly embossed surface that mimics the look of carbon fibre. Available in four colours, it brings a modern, textured finish to cotton, polyester, uncoated nylon, and blended fabrics. It’s ideal for branding, sportswear logos, and high-impact designs.

Printable Garment Film, such as Poli-Print 4030, allows full-colour graphics to be printed directly onto a white PU surface using eco-solvent, solvent, or latex inks. Once printed, the design is heat-pressed onto the garment, making this film suitable for custom T-shirts, branded uniforms, and promotional items. It’s compatible with light and dark textiles and offers a clean semi-matt finish with sharp detail.

Pearl Glitter Garment Film creates a sparkling effect with a fine glitter coating. This film adds depth and brightness to designs, making it popular for dancewear, event clothing, and decorative pieces. It applies easily to cotton, polyester/cotton, and polyester/acrylic blends.

Starflex Garment Film has a holographic finish that shifts in appearance depending on light and movement. This film is ideal for garments where visibility and style are key, including performance wear and promotional clothing. It features a heat-activated adhesive and works well on a range of fabric types, including cotton blends.

Decorative Signmaking Films

For vinyl applications beyond garments, ATC also offers speciality films with metallic, mirrored, and patterned effects suitable for flat signage, wall graphics, and displays.

Brushed, Iridescent and Checker Plate Films offer bold finishes that are well suited to decorative signs, shop displays, and promotional graphics. Brushed metal films provide a realistic metallic look, while iridescent films change colour depending on the angle and lighting. Checker plate films mimic industrial textures for a rugged effect, often used in automotive or commercial design.

Mirror Film is a high-shine vinyl that creates a reflective finish similar to polished metal. It is often used for lettering, decals, and display panels where a premium look is required. This film is available in silver and gold options and can be cut using standard plotters for custom shapes and designs.

Metal Flake (Glitter) Films provide a glittery appearance through embedded metallic particles. These are often used for logos, stickers, and display graphics that need to catch the eye. The high-gloss surface adds depth and shimmer to flat designs, making them stand out under direct lighting.

A Creative Finish for Every Project

ATC’s speciality films are selected to give professionals more choice when it comes to adding creative detail to garments, signs, and displays. Whether you’re designing a limited-run T-shirt, a display stand for a retail space, or a one-off decal with impact, our films provide the colour, texture, and finish to bring your ideas to life.

All films are compatible with common cutting equipment and, where required, heat presses, making them suitable for both small workshops and high-volume production.
