Vinyltryck – mångsidig och hållbar metod för textiltryck

What is vinyl printing?

Vinyl printing is a flexible and simple printing technique used to create sharp, durable motifs on textiles. The method is perfect for profile clothing with logos and slogans, match kits and personal projects. By cutting out motifs in textile vinyl with a cutting plotter and attaching them with a heat press, a result with clear details and long durability is created.

How does vinyl printing work?

  1. Cutting motifs:
    A cutting plotter is used to cut out the motif in textile vinyl. Vinyl is available in many colors and effects, such as glitter, metallic and reflective, making it possible to create unique designs.

  2. Application with heat:
    The back of the vinyl has an adhesive layer that is activated by heat. With a heat press (or iron for simpler projects), the glue melts into the textile and attaches the motif permanently.

  3. Multicolor Prints:
    For multi-colored motifs, each color is cut separately and applied in layers. Alternatively, printable textile vinyl can be used for complex motifs, printed with solvent ink.

Advantages of vinyl printing

  • Versatility: Perfect for both profile wear and personal projects.
  • Effects: Create motifs with glitter, metallic, reflex or other special effects.
  • Durability: Withstands many washes without fading or cracking.
  • Richness of detail: Provides sharp lines and clear colors, even on small subjects.

Areas of use

Vinyl printing works for a variety of products and materials. Here are some examples:

  • Clothing: T-shirts, jackets, caps and pants.
  • Accessories: Aprons, bags and gloves.
  • Special products: Reflective printing for sportswear or glitter printing for children's clothing.

Care instructions for vinyl printing

To make your print last as long as possible, follow these tips:

  • Wash gently: Use mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener.
