Holographic Flex - Heat transfer film for fabric

 

Description

 

Holographic flex is an environmentally friendly material used for designs that are computer cut and heat transferred to fabric.

 

Holographic flex is made from a metallized polyester film, providing a shiny prism-like finish which features a rainbow effect. The image shifts as the wearer moves, creating a vivid 3D effect. Unlike other holographic products made from materials like EVA or ethylene, we use a polyester hot-melt which is a more expensive and durable environmentally friendly material. Its key feature is its excellent durability.

 

Holographic flex is washable and suitable for dry cleaning and can be used on cotton, mixtures of polyester/cotton and polyester/acrylic or similar textiles. Not suitable for treated and dyed garments.

 

How to Use Holographic Flex

 

1. Cut your design in reverse (mirror image) using a vinyl cutter.
2. Weed out the excess flex.
3. Place your design in position on your fabric.
4. * Heat press with medium pressure for 10-15 secs at a temperature between 150°C - 160°C.
5. Remove polyester backing film while it is warm.
