Flocked heat transfer vinyl - Velvety heat transfer vinyl for the cutting machine

Flocked heat transfer vinyls give your projects a warm, velvety look and a pleasantly textured surface. They are particularly suitable for personalized motifs such as numbers, lettering, logos or eye-catching applications on T-shirts, sweatshirts, bags and children's fashion.

What are flocked heat transfer vinyls suitable for?

Flocked heat transfer vinyls are ideal if you want a velvety, slightly raised look that is different from glossy heat transfer vinyls. They work well on cotton and blended fabrics as well as on sweats and denim, depending on the manufacturer's instructions. Popular applications include personalized clothing, club or team shirts, eye-catching bags or small patch effects.

How do you process flocked heat transfer vinyl?

To process, cut the motif mirror-inverted with the cutting machine or by hand, remove excess material (weeden) and position the flocked heat transfer vinyl on the fabric. A transfer press or iron is recommended for ironing on; always follow the film manufacturer's instructions for temperature, pressure and time. Pre-pressing the fabric is often helpful, as is using a protective layer (e.g. baking paper or Teflon film) to protect the surface.

Care and durability

• It is best to wash finished items inside out and on a gentle washing program.
• Avoid bleach and high dryer temperatures to preserve the structure of the flock surface.
• If necessary, iron from the reverse side or work at a low temperature - follow the manufacturer's instructions.
