1. Cutting the Film in Mirror Mode
- Set the cutting machine to mirror mode to ensure the design is correctly oriented when applied to the textile.
- Employ a flock blade specifically designed for cutting thick materials like flock.
- Set the blade depth according to the thickness of the flock to avoid cutting too deeply or not enough. Flock is generally thicker than standard vinyl, so precise adjustment is necessary for a clean cut. It is advisable to perform a test cut before starting full production.
2. Weeding
- After cutting, carefully weed out the excess material around the cut design.
- Utilize weeding tools such as a hook or tweezers to remove small unwanted pieces, making sure not to damage the design details.
3. Positioning and Transferring the Marking onto the Textile
- Place the textile on the heat press, ensuring it is properly positioned and the application area is clean.
- Place the flock (with the polyester backing still in place) on the desired area of the textile.
- Cover the design with silicone paper to prevent direct contact between the heat press plate and the polyester film.
- Set the heat press to 160°C, apply medium pressure, and press for 20 seconds. This step allows the flock to adhere securely to the fabric.
4. Removing the Polyester Backing
- Let the textile cool completely before removing the polyester backing.
- Once cooled, gently peel off the polyester backing, ensuring the flock marking stays firmly attached to the textile. Pulling the backing slowly at a low angle reduces the risk of peeling off the design.
By following these steps, you will achieve a well-applied and durable marking with a velvet-like texture and optimal adhesion on the textile.
- Follow the care instructions specified on the garment: The recommendations for the specific textile 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 or deteriorating prematurely.
- Iron only on the reverse side: To protect the transfer and avoid damage from the direct heat of the iron, it is essential to iron the garment inside out.
- Storage: The film should be stored under optimal conditions, vertically, away from direct light and moisture, for a maximum of one year. Improper storage can affect the film's properties, such as its adhesion or elasticity.
- Washing: The garment can be washed at a maximum temperature of 60°C, and it is recommended to wash it inside out to avoid exposing the transfer directly to friction, which could damage it.
- Avoid harsh products: Bleach-based detergents or other harsh chemicals can damage the film and affect its durability.
- Tumble drying: Tumble drying is allowed, but it is advisable to check the textile’s compatibility with this drying method.
- Dry cleaning: The garment can be dry cleaned without risk to the transfer.
These recommendations are essential to ensure the quality and longevity of the markings on personalized textiles.
Gute Folie.
