Flock is a material that when applied to a garment has a furry raised texture and is available in a range of colours.

How do you print using flock?
We take your design and convert it to a series of curves. We then plot cut the curves out of the flock material before heat applying the design to your chosen garment. As this method uses a plotter to cut the design out of a single colour flock material we cannot use this method for printing photos or files made up of pixels.

Why should I choose a flock print?
Flock is very nice to the touch and helps your design jump off the T Shirt or garment. It is best suited to less complex designs as it is a lot thicker than flex.

What products are available in flock?
Nearly all of our clothing range is available for flock print including caps and the organic tote bags.
-
Can I upload a file for flock print?
No, you can only upload files in the following format: .jpeg; .gif and .png. As these are all raster file types (made up of pixels) we cannot cut these out of a single sheet of flock. To print using flock we need files that are made up of curves which tell our plotter where to cut so only text and the designs we have supplied are eligible for sparkle or glitter print.

What are the care instructions for flock print?
Flock can be washed up to 60 degrees centigrade (always check garment care instructions). To keep your design looking its best we recommend that you wash the garment inside out, do not tumble dry it or iron directly over the print. It is not suitable for dry cleaning.
As flock has a furry texture you may find that it attracts stray fluff over time. We find that using a sticky roller (like ones used for removing dog hair) or a strong sellotape removes any fluff and does not damage the print.
