Does anyone know of any cheap suppliers of hot flex? I potentially have a huge bag pressing job coming up (if I can quote a good price) so need to obtain the best possible price on materials. I currently use MDP and I'm struggling to find anyone cheaper - MDP can do hot flex for £4.45 (ex VAT) per metre (25metre log). Anyone know of any suppliers that can do it for less?

Hi,
Have l look at target transfers they have some flex going at £3.85 a metre ,not used myself this has been reduced from £6 a metre think they must be phasing it out for a new line of flex.

Thanks Justin, I should have done that myself instead of reviving an old post.

cheers Gary, I'll take a look. Any reduction is great as it could help secure the job.

Not trying to put you off this material but if you have fine detail or small 1cm text (or smaller) to do , be careful.
The non sticky carrier is a problem.

Thanks for the headsup, not to keen on using non sticky carrier paper myself but the job I would need it for has nothing too small.

the new 123flex from the magic touch is cheaper and very easy to use, - 3 second press hot peel!

Just had a quick look at magic touch's website, that 123flex seems to good to be true!
