FLEX VS FLOCK VINYL

I always get a question - what is flex and flock when I ask my customers that how they want me to print their t-shirt, using flex or flock? They have no idea what I'm talking about, they only want to see their name or logo on their t-shirt, sweat-shirt or hoody. 

Today I decided to write this post about flex vs flock.

Well both these printing methods cut from sheet of vinyl and use heat press machine to press into your t-shirts. Both are suitable for texts and logos.  Vinyl and heat transfers are a quick way to make one or more shirts or other items instantly.

I prefer this method more than screen printing.

If you really want to ensure the best from your garment, using flex and flock would be a better option. Most people like screen printing or heat transfer, but both these printing methods can disappoint you, while flex and flock last.

I don't think you like to have a cracked screen printed t-shirt.

So why flex and flock are much better than screen printing or any other methods you're currently using?

What is Flex

Flex vinyl is available in many colors with a smooth glossy, slightly shiny finish. It's flexible and suitable for stretchy fabrics. Flex doesn't rely on ink like screen printing, sublimation or direct to garment printing.

Tip:
If you want your print/design to last long, make sure you don't iron on print.

What is Flock

Flock also available in many colors with velvety finish, it furry heat transfer vinyl that feels similar to suede and almost like embroidery. If you don't have an embroidery machine, flock is a perfect alternative. You can use flock almost on every garment. It's also good for hat and caps. Flocking will really set your apparel line apart from the rest.


So if you want to print logo, lettering or simple graphics – flex and flock are suitable for this.
