Flex printing: High-quality and versatile printing for textiles

Flex printing is a popular printing technique ideal for personalizing textiles. This method combines quality with flexibility and offers a variety of advantages that make it ideal for custom designs and corporate apparel.

1. What is flex printing?

Flex printing involves cutting designs from special, flexible films, which are then applied to the textile. The film is activated under pressure and heat, firmly bonding it to the fabric. This results in a durable and resilient print.

2. Advantages of flex printing

• Durability : Flex printing is very durable and resistant to frequent washing and wear. The colors remain vibrant even after many washes.

• Vibrant colors : The films are available in a variety of colors, allowing for vibrant and striking designs. • Versatility : Flex printing is suitable for a wide range of textiles, including cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics. It can also be applied to various garments, from T-shirts to jackets.

• Easy design : Ideal for simple and clear designs, logos, or lettering. It offers excellent print quality for text and graphics. 3. Applications

Flex printing is particularly suitable for:

• Corporate Apparel : Give your employee uniforms a professional look with your logo or slogan. • Sportswear : Ideal for team uniforms with printed names and numbers.

• Promotional gifts : Personalized T-shirts or bags for events, trade fairs or promotions.

4. The process of flex printing

1. Create design : You design your motif, logo or text that is to be implemented with flex film.

2. Cutting the film : The design is cut out of the flex film using a plotter.

3. Change : Excess film is removed so that only the desired motif remains.

4. Transfer : The design is transferred to the textile using heat and pressure.

5. Cooling and finishing : After cooling, the print is finished and can be used.

5. Care instructions

To maximize the lifespan of flex-printed textiles, the following care instructions should be observed:

• Washing : Wash inside out at low temperatures. Use only mild detergent (e.g. Perwoll). • Drying : To maintain print quality, avoid tumble drying.

• Ironing : If necessary, iron on the inside to avoid direct contact with the print.
