As technology has advanced, so too has the range of printing methods at our disposal.
Each printing method can be suited to different needs.
The range of printing options means businesses can choose which one to use to best meet their requirements.
This is printed using a single-colour film, available in many colours and types. The design is transferred to a plotter that cuts the foil in a mirror image, and then the design is transferred to the material using industrial presses at high temperatures.
Why flex foil?
What you should know:
Flock foil has a fine suede texture and great colour depth due to the fine cellulose fibres on its surface. The print is fixed onto the material using an industrial press at a high temperature.
Printing with flock foil (up to 420 microns) is even several times thicker than with flex foil (50-170 microns).

What you should know:
This technique involves transferring the digital print from the film to the product using industrial presses at a high temperature. The method is ideal for most materials for hard-to-reach areas.
Why DTF?
What you should know:
Sublimation printing is a typical method of printing on sportswear.
It is done with special inks, applied to transfer paper and then, under pressure from a high-temperature press, onto clothes made of white polyester fabric.
Sublimation is a chemical process. When the transfer paper is pressed against the fabric in a heated press, the dyes contained in the inks are heated and change their state of aggregation from solid to gaseous, and the fabric fibres open up. As a result of these changes, the dyes penetrate the fibres instead of being deposited on the surface.
When the effect of the high temperature ceases, the fibres close again, permanently absorbing the sublimation dye. The result of the process is an image ‘printed’ into the fabric – clear and very durable, but not perceptible to the touch.
