Thursday, 15 August 2024 POLI-TAPE has launched an innovative addition to the FLEX film family POLI-TAPE COLOR UP is a 0.14 mm thick film, which allows any design or motif to be transferred to various surfaces. This versatile vinyl can be decorated with a wide range of common pens and paints, including watercolours, markers, fine liners and felt-tip pens, making it the ideal canvas for creative projects. Photos taken with a smartphone can also be transferred onto a T-shirt or hoodie using POLI-TAPE COLOR UP. Simply print the photo onto the film with a desktop inkjet or laser printer and press it onto the fabric. “Whether printing, painting or drawing, with POLI-TAPE COLOR UP, the only limit is your imagination,” says Renée Kruit, Business Unit Manager at POLI-TAPE. “We are excited to bring this innovative product line to market and look forward to seeing the unique designs and ideas our customers will create.” It has excellent cutting and weeding properties and a very smooth and matte surface. After printing or painting, the design can be cut with a standard plotter, transferred to the fabric using a transfer tape, such as POLI-TACK 870, and pressed at 160°C for 15 seconds. Simple designs can be transferred using silicone paper or Teflon paper without transfer tape. POLI-TAPE COLOR UP boasts excellent wash resistance and durability, ensuring the designs remain vibrant after numerous washes. Its pleasant, soft-touch fabric surface provides additional comfort when worn. POLI-TAPE COLOR UP is certified under the OEKO TEX STANDARD 100. It contains no PVC, plasticisers, heavy metals or formaldehyde, making it an eco-friendly and safe choice for all your creative projects. POLI-TAPE COLOR UP is available in boxes of DIN A4 and A3 sheets and a convenient DIN A4 bundle that includes POLI-TACK 870 transfer tape.
