Flexprinting
Flexprinting
is a hot print process
To print garments,
we use a type of material called "flex". It is a thermo-printable
material which is cut with a precision plotter, then is weeded to take all
the excess material away in order to leave only the wanted logo or number
etc to be printed with a heat press on the desired garment. This technique
gives a very nice mat-aspect print, is tough and wash resistant. This type
of printing has been used for decades to print numbers and letters on sport
jerseys.
Advantages of flexprinting
Flexprinting allows quality garment printing in small quantities. There are no set-up fees for films or stencils, no minimum orders and your order can be processed in a very short period of time.
Inconvenients of flexprinting
Flexprinting does not allow printing logos or letters which have too fine details and we limit our flexprinting service to a one-color only print. Flexprinting can take a lot of time to prepare for large quantities. A smalll quantity of colors are available as compared to screenprinting and no possibility to have an exact Pantone match. If our red is not the righ red for your logo, it will have to be printed by screenprinting.
To know if your logo is compatible with this printing technique just send us an email with your design included and we will inform you as soon as possible.
