Wide-format specialist Papergraphics has secured an exclusive deal with Italian heat transfer vinyl films manufacturer B-Flex to supply its media range to the UK.

“At a time when the personalisation market is booming, especially garment personalisation, we feel there is no better time to be offering this diverse range of transfer films to our customer base," said Alistair Travis, business development manager, who's is heading up B-Flex sales for Papergraphics.

"The award-winning B-Flex range creates an excellent opportunity to add a new revenue stream with very little investment needed, helping [customers] reach a myriad of markets including workwear, sportswear and fashion wear."

It also encompasses a range of specialist materials for stretchy, nylon, soft-shell, polyester and other heat-sensitive garments as well as reflective and glow-in-the-dark B-Flex materials for workwear and activewear. While for fashion applications glitter, gloss, mirror, foil, 3D and flock heat transfer vinyls are also available.

The films are available in widths of 500mm, 750mm and 1,000mm either by the linear metre or on 25m rolls.
