With a patterned effect, Trends flex is perfect for giving a new dimension to your textile creations. With a thickness of 50 microns, this film offers optimal flexibility while ensuring durable adhesion on various supports.
For a successful transfer, set your heat press to 160°C. Apply the film for 20 seconds with medium pressure. This method ensures perfect adhesion while preserving the texture of the fabric for aesthetic and professional results.
To guarantee the longevity of your creations, it is recommended to wash textiles at a maximum temperature of 60°C. When ironing, always iron inside out to protect the design and maintain its brilliance.
The Trends cutting flex offers a striking patterned finish that adds depth and texture to your designs. This unique style is ideal for clothing, accessories, or decorations, bringing a modern and dynamic look that attracts attention.
This product, certified EVE Vegan, provides an environmentally friendly option for your textile personalization projects. By choosing this film, you can create with confidence, knowing that your choice aligns with your values.
The Trends cutting flex is available in 19 colors.
1. Cutting the Film in Mirror Mode
- Before cutting, configure your cutting machine to work in mirror mode. This step is essential, as the marking will be applied in reverse to ensure it is correctly oriented once transferred onto the textile.
- Use a flex blade suitable for cutting heat transfer flex, and precisely adjust the blade depth according to the material's thickness. This ensures a clean cut without damaging the polyester backing layer.
- Verify that the blade setting optimizes precision, especially for fine details of the design. It is advisable to perform a test cut before starting production.
2. Weeding
- After cutting, proceed with weeding by removing the excess material around the cut design.
- Use specific tools like a hook or tweezers for precise weeding, ensuring that only the desired design remains on the polyester backing.
3. Positioning and Transferring the Design onto the Textile
- Place the textile on the heat press, ensuring that the surface is clean.
- Position the design (with the polyester backing still in place) on the desired area of the textile.
- Protect the marking with silicone paper to avoid direct contact between the heat press platen and the polyester film.
- Set the heat press to 160°C, apply medium pressure, and press for 20 seconds. The combination of heat, time, and pressure ensures that the design adheres well to the textile.
4. Removing the Polyester When Cold
- Allow the textile to cool completely before removing the polyester backing.
- Once the textile has cooled, gently peel off the polyester backing, ensuring that the flex marking remains well adhered to the textile. Pulling the backing off slowly at a low angle reduces the risk of the design lifting.
By following these steps, you will achieve a professional-quality, durable, and well-applied marking on the textile.
- Follow the care instructions specified on the garment: The recommendations for the fabric on which the film has been applied must be followed to ensure its durability.
- Wait 24 hours before the first wash: This allows the film to properly adhere to the fabric and prevents it from peeling off or deteriorating prematurely.
- Iron only on the reverse side: To protect the transfer and avoid damage from direct heat, it is essential to iron the garment inside out.
- Storage: The film should be stored in optimal conditions, namely in an upright position, away from direct light and humidity, for a maximum of one year. Improper storage may alter the film’s properties, such as its adhesion or elasticity.
- Washing: The garment can be washed at a maximum temperature of 60°C. It is recommended to wash it inside out to prevent the transfer from being exposed to friction, which could damage it.
- Do not use harsh products: Detergents containing bleach or other aggressive chemicals can deteriorate the film and affect its durability.
- Tumble drying: Tumble drying is allowed, but it is advisable to check the fabric’s compatibility with this drying method.
- Dry cleaning: Not recommended. Dry cleaning could alter the quality of the transfer.
These recommendations are essential to ensure the quality and longevity of the marking on personalized textiles.
