Re: flex or flock ?? -for promo t-shirts

Post by kris_hm »

Hi,
I've got my first big order on promo t-shirts. It's going to be small company name on the front and large website address on the back. Blue tees and white writing
I can't decide should I go for flex or flock :/
I found flock more durable and has stronger glue but afraid that white flock will discolour after washing (as I've seen it before)

what would you use??
thanks

On tees I personally would go for flex.

Flock look great but for promo tees i go for flex. Cheaper and quicker to print.

Another vote for flex here. It is more durable and no chance of it discolouring.

I agree with those above. Hot peal flex is strong and durable enough for any promo tees.
Unless by using flock you can convince the client to part with more cash due to a perceived increase in value, I don't think it is worth the extra hassle you sometimes get weeding it (or is that just me:rolleyes:)

I'd agree that Flex is cheaper, but many of my customers like the more expensive look to flock on t-shirts, especially on non white t-shirts.
Although when it's multiple colours within their logo it's not as easy to layer.
