Flex foil and Flock foil
1. Flex foil: this is a dyed foil intended for marking clothes, on the inner side coated with a glue which is activated under the influence of higher temperatures, technique: cutting out graphics with the use of a plotter and heating with a webbing press into the substrate,
possible: simple vector characters, logos, letters; possible marking in several colours, but the most common is monochromatic marking, marking available even for a single item, intense colour marking
impossible: marking with small letters (minimum height of letters 5 mm) full colour graphics
Stability: high
The price depends on the number of colours of marking, labelling surface, the complexity of graphics, price usually ranges from 4 - 8 PLN / pc plus VAT for one colour of marking.
2. Flock foil: it is a (dyed foil - to cut or white one- for printing) suitable for marking clothes, on the inner side coated with glue which is activated under the influence of higher temperatures.
Techniques:
a) cutting plotter - monochrome graphics
possible: vector characters, logo, letters; possible marking in several colours, but the most common is monochromatic marking, marking available even for a single item
impossible: marking with small letters (minimum height of letters 5 mm) full colour graphics
Heating graphics into the substrate using a press, marking available even for a single item
Stability: high
b) printed with a print plotter print and cut with a cutting plotter - full colour graphics
possible: full colour graphics, small elements, the disadvantage is a significant stiffening of the fabric surface,
marking available even for a single item
impossible: obtaining intensity colour as a flex film
Heating graphics in base using newspapers,
marking available even for a single item
impossible: hindered full colour graphics,
Durability: average, likely fading under the influence of washing
Price depends on the surface labelling, and the technique a) also on the number of marking colours, the complexity of the design, usually the price ranges between 6 - 15 PLN / pc VAT for monochromatic marking.
