Welcome, and how this course works
👋 You’re in — and I’m glad you’re here
Welcome to the Unboxt HTV Course. I’m Chantelle, and I’ve been building a personalised gifts business from my home in South Africa since 2020 — starting with a Cricut, some rolls of vinyl, and far too much tea.
Heat Transfer Vinyl was a game-changer for my business. It opened up a whole new product range — apparel, tote bags, baby grows — things people wear, use every day, and give as meaningful gifts. The profit margins are strong, the demand is consistent, and once you get the hang of it, it’s genuinely enjoyable to make.
This course is everything I wish I’d had when I started. The techniques, the pricing, the mistakes — all of it, laid out so you can skip the expensive lessons I had to learn the hard way.
Let’s build something real. — Chantelle 💛
📋 Who this course is for
This course is for you if you have a heat press (or are planning to get one), want to create and sell personalised apparel and fabric products, and are serious about building a real income — not just a hobby.
This course is not for someone expecting results without practice, or someone who wants to skip the fundamentals and jump straight to selling.
🗺️ How to use this course
To get the best results:
- Follow the modules in order — each lesson builds on the last. The order matters.
- Complete the action task at the end of each lesson — this is where confidence comes from. Hands-on beats reading every time.
- Don’t aim for perfect — aim for progress. Every press teaches you something.
- Revisit sections as your business grows — the pricing and selling lessons will hit differently once you have real orders coming in.
✅ What you’ll be able to do by the end
- ✅ Press professional HTV designs onto apparel, bags, and accessories
- ✅ Understand different HTV types and when to use each one
- ✅ Price your products properly — in rands, for the SA market
- ✅ Handle custom orders without the chaos or the costly mistakes
- ✅ Package your products so customers feel something when they receive them
- ✅ Sell consistently through WhatsApp, Instagram, and beyond
⚠️ A quick reality check
HTV takes practice. Your first press might not be perfect — and that’s completely normal. What matters is that you keep going. The people who build successful businesses from this aren’t necessarily the most talented. They’re the most consistent.
You don’t need perfect designs, expensive equipment, or everything figured out. You just need to start — and this course will walk you through every step.
🎯 Your first action task
Before moving to Lesson 2, take 5 minutes to write down:
- Why you want to start this business — your honest reason, even if it’s just “I want extra income”
- One product you’d love to press and sell first
- What success looks like to you in 90 days — even if it’s just R500 extra a month
Save this somewhere. On a hard day, your “why” will matter more than any technique in this course.
