Buy adhesive vinyl - flex, flock & adhesive vinyl
Adhesive vinyls are a versatile material for anyone who wants to get creative with a cutting machine and iron or transfer press. In our selection at your Stoffschwester you will find the common variants such as heat transfer vinyl, flocked heat transfer vinyl and adhesive vinyl - each with its own look and possible uses.
What are the different films suitable for?
Heat transfer vinyls are thin, supple and ideal for textiles that stretch, such as T-shirts or jogging bottoms. Flocked heat transfer vinyls have a velvety, slightly raised surface and give motifs a high-quality look - especially nice for retro styles or detailed logos. Adhesive vinyls are available as self-adhesive versions for stickers, signs and lettering as well as special adhesive vinyls for textile transfers.
What is the best way to process adhesive vinyl?
- Cutting: Always cut mirror-inverted when heat transfers to textiles are involved.
- Weeding: Weed out fine motifs with a suitable weeding needle or tweezers.
- Application: Depending on the film, apply with a transfer press or iron; pre-press the textile before pressing and allow to cool after pressing if necessary.
- Testing: Test on a scrap of fabric before the final application in order to optimally adjust the cut, pressure and, if necessary, temperature.
What makes adhesive vinyls special?
Adhesive vinyls combine easy handling with great design freedom: layer several colors, create fine details or use different surfaces such as matt, glossy or velvety. When processed correctly, many films are wash-resistant and durable. At your Stoffschwester, we will be happy to advise you on the right choice of film and processing tips for your project.
