Textiles & Soft Signage

Soft signage is print on fabric rather than PVC: flags, gazebos, umbrellas, tension displays and backdrops. It hangs better, packs smaller and washes, which is why events and retail have moved to it. Printing is either dye sublimation into polyester or HP Latex directly onto coated fabric.

Fabrics
80g flag, 170-240g gazebo, 260g blockout, 380g canvas
Widths
900mm to 2350mm
Methods
Dye sublimation transfer and direct, HP Latex
Made locally
Gazebo and umbrella fabric, in South Africa

    Print

  2. Step 2

    Fix

    Fix the ink with heat so it bonds into the polyester fibre.

  3. Step 3

    Cut and sew, adding silicone edging where the graphic slots into a frame.
