Which Flex Film is the Best?
Which Flex Film is the Best?
Which flex film is the “best” greatly depends on what you specifically need – that is, the intended use, the material, and your requirements regarding durability, stretchability, or appearance.
Based on our experience, the following flex films are the best, highest quality brands and types that have proven themselves in every day professional usage:
SUPERIOR 6000 HTV Flex Film – Thin, flexible and PVC-free
The SUPERIOR 6000 HTV is a high-quality, PVC-free flex film distinguished by its exceptional flexibility and thin material thickness. Compared to conventional flex films, it is somewhat thinner and noticeably more supple – ideal for precise detailed work and delicate lettering.
Thanks to its excellent cutting and weeding properties, the film is perfectly suited for use with standard cutting plotters. The carefully chosen colour range includes soft pastels and modern shades – ideal for stylish and creative textile finishing
POLI-FLEX TURBO Flex Film – fast, versatile and vibrant
The POLI-FLEX TURBO is a flex film for textile finishing and has a short pressing time: transferable at just 130 °C in only 5 seconds – ideal for very heat-sensitive textiles.
Compared to the SUPERIOR 6000 HTV flex film, the POLI-FLEX TURBO is slightly thicker.
However, for very delicate designs – especially in neon colours – the greater material thickness may cause slight limitations in detail accuracy. More care is needed when weeding here.
Siser P.S. Film EasyWeed Flex Film - A flex film that has been on the market for many years and has proven itself repeatedly in practice.
However, the recommended pressing time of 15 seconds is significantly longer than that of the SUPERIOR 6000 HTV (only 8 seconds) and the POLI-FLEX TURBO (5 seconds at 130 °C).
Nevertheless, the Siser EasyWeed convinces with its reliability, quite good processability, and a good colour selection – a classic among flex films.
