In flock printing, the design is printed using a thin foil from which the respective design—consisting of specific, suitable colors—is cut out. This foil is then pressed onto the respective textile product under high pressure and temperature using a heat press.

Flock printing is considered one of the more refined printing techniques due to its high-quality and durable print results. The applied design achieves a soft and velvety texture.
