Rhinestone Paper vs Transfer Film: Which to Choose

“Rhinestone paper” and “transfer film” usually refer to the same clear PET film with a light adhesive that holds loose stones while you build a design. The naming differs by region and use.

Are They the Same?

In most cases yes – both are hotfix transfer film. The difference is in width and roll length: craft users say “paper” (small rolls), production users say “film” (wide 40 or 48 cm rolls, 100 yards).

How to Choose

• 24 cm width: small crafts and samples
• 40 or 48 cm width: garments and production runs
• 100-yard rolls: best value for repeat use

Pair It With Templates

For repeated designs, use reusable flock templates with the film to place stones fast and consistently. See our rhinestone templates.
