Flex Print
Characteristics of Flex:
- high durability
- no color-fading in the laundry
- smooth, even surface of the print
- to be ironed inside out, do not iron directly on the print
Flex retains its colors long throughout a life of regular washing at 40°C. As with all printed fabrics, please wash and iron inside-out.
Flex compared to Flock:
Both techniques have the same high standards in regard to quality, that is, maximum durability and no color fading. Only difference is the look and feel of the material. While Flex is very smooth, Flock is a little bit fluffy.
Details of print Technique:
A large computerized blade is used to cut designs out of a smooth, thin material. This design is then pressed onto the fabric, using high pressure and temperatures. This print type is suitable for almost all fabric types and due to its sleek and shiny surface, looks and feels amazing.
