SEF America FlexTape & FlexTape Plus – Precision Transfer Tapes for Professional Heat Transfer Applications
Achieve flawless transfers with SEF America FlexTape and FlexTape Plus, the essential tools for lifting and applying printed logos and designs onto textiles. Designed with precision and efficiency in mind, these transfer tapes offer reliable performance for both small-scale graphics and complex multi-component designs, making them indispensable in both professional and craft settings.
FlexTape – Strong Adhesion, Easy Removal
SEF America FlexTape is your go-to solution for lifting printed logos off their liners and transferring them onto fabric with ease. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is designed to be strong enough to lift the printed film off the liner, yet gentle enough to be removed easily after heat pressing without leaving any adhesive residue. FlexTape is ideal for use with polyurethane and vinyl films, especially for smaller graphics. For best results, it is recommended to peel the tape warm after heat pressing. This tape is specifically designed for use with FlexPrint Tattoo, ensuring perfect transfers every time.
FlexTape Plus – High-Temperature Performance and Clarity
FlexTape Plus is an advanced polyester (PET) transfer tape with a liner/carrier, engineered for transferring print and cut heat transfer materials to textiles. It can withstand heat pressing cycles as long as 60 seconds at temperatures up to 400°F (166°C), providing excellent protection to your printed graphics during pressing, storage, and transportation. The high tack adhesive ensures that multi-component graphics stay securely in place during the transfer process, while its exceptional clarity aids in the precise alignment of graphics, especially when performing multi-layered heat transfers.
