SUPERIOR Trikot-Flex Flex Film for Polyester

SUPERIOR Trikot-Flex is a blockout flex film specifically designed for football strips, softshell jackets and other 100 % polyester textiles that tend to resublimate and discolour conventional flex films.

SUPERIOR Trikot-Flex film for polyester has a very low pressing temperature of only 130 °C, lower than other blockout flex films for polyester. As many polyester textiles are very sensitive to heat, SUPERIOR Trikot-Flex is not only suitable for polyester, but also for other sensitive textiles and functional fabrics. SUPERIOR Trikot-Flex also has a block-out barrier layer!

Tested for harmful substances! Tested by TÜV Rheinland according to the extended legal requirements for textile and leather products in Germany and EU 11/2010 as well as REACH relevant parameters.

Perfect for Jerseys and Teamwear

SUPERIOR Trikot Flex is the ideal choice when designing sportswear. It adheres reliably to polyester and blended fabrics – just what you need for short-term or season-long use in training and matchday gear.


Why Choose SUPERIOR Trikot Flex?

Clean Cuts and Easy Weeding

The even material thickness ensures precision during cutting – even with detailed text and fine elements. That means less effort and more consistent results.

Matte Finish for a Professional Look

Its matte surface gives your designs a high-quality appearance. The finish looks great on textiles and feels smooth to the touch.

Washable at up to 60 °C

Even after repeated washing, your design stays firmly in place. The film withstands washing cycles up to 60 °C, making it ideal for sportswear that’s regularly laundered.
