Flex foil printing is a printing technique in which the motif is cut out of various foils, weeded by hand, and finally pressed onto the textile under pressure and heat. It results in a refined, high-quality print with expressive colours and a matte or a slightly shiny surface, which remains even after frequent washing.
How Flex Foil Printing works
Flex foil printing is a plot printing process in which motifs are cut out of various foils using a so-called "plotter". The motif is transferred to a thin, elastic flex foil, which itself is applied to a transparent transfer foil. Only then is it inserted into the plotter and cut. Everything that does not belong to the motif is removed (weeded) by hand. Then, the motif is pressed into the textile with a thermal transfer press under heat and pressure. If the motif consists of more than one colour, the individual parts are put together, like a puzzle, and pressed onto the textile one at a time.
Glossy, bright designs
The various foils, which are used in flex foil printing, result in smooth, sometimes slightly glossy designs with strikingly bright colours. This printing process is particularly suited for motifs with one to three colours, for example to print names and numbers, company and club logos, or letterings on textiles.
Wear and tear-prone textiles
Products finished with flex foil printing retain their shape and colour for a long time, even after many washes. For this reason, we use this method mainly for printing textiles that need to be stretchable and hard-wearing – such as jerseys.
