• If you're new to the crafting world, getting
  started with vinyl can be exciting, but more
  often than not, you end up getting overwhelmed
  with how many different types of vinyl there are
  to choose from as you are suddenly confronted
  with unfamiliar words like heat transfer vinyl,
  permanent vinyl, HTV, adhesive...so, what do
  these all mean? Let's start by comparing both
  types of vinyl

Heat Transfer Vinyl  

• Heat Transfer Vinyl (or HTV) is a type of craft
  vinyl that is often used on T-Shirts and fabrics
  through a heat-application process. This also
  commonly referred to as "iron-on" vinyl by most
  beginners. Popular types of Heat transfer vinyl
  include Siser EasyWeed, Premium Plus, Glitter,
  and Inkjet Printable. Many who work with this
  type of vinyl use a Cricut machine, weeding
  tools, and a heat press to bring their designs to
  life. One characteristic of HTV is that
  each sheet (or roll) of HTV comes with a carrier
  sheet which allows you to transfer your cut-out
  design to the shirt or fabric of your choice.
  This carrier sheet is often clear or frosty, and
  most importantly, the vinyl underneath
  is NOT sticky. Different types of vinyl will have
  different cut settings heat settings, so you'll
  want to carefully pay attention to the
  instructions for each product.

Adhesive Vinyl  

• Adhesive Vinyl is a type of craft vinyl that is
  often used for decals stickers that is applied
  to a wide variety of smooth hard surfaces.
  Adhesive vinyl falls under two main categories
  Permanent Temporary. Popular types of permanent
  adhesive vinyl include Oracal 651, EasyPSV
  Glitter, and Glow In The Dark, whereas a popular
  type of temporary vinyl would be the Oracal
  631. Many who work with this type of vinyl use a
  Cricut machine, weeding tools, and application
  tape to apply their designs to various surfaces.
  One characteristic of adhesive is that
  each sheet (or roll) of adhesive vinyl typically
  has a white paper backing. Most importantly, the
  vinyl IS sticky. Different types of vinyl will
  have different cut settings, so you'll want to
  pay attention to the instructions for each
  product.
