Key Features
Market Leader Since 2006 — Developed and refined over 20 years, POLI-FLEX® Premium is the benchmark cut HTV for professional garment decorators across Europe and North America.
Made Entirely in Germany — Every roll is produced start-to-finish at POLI-TAPE's German facility, from raw polymer to finished film. No outsourced components.
Clean Cut & Easy Weed — Consistent film thickness and smooth PET carrier make Premium an ideal choice for fine lettering, small text, and detailed artwork.
80°C Wash Durability — Industrial-grade wash resistance for workwear, hospitality uniforms, and any application requiring long-term durability through frequent laundering.
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 — Every color tested and certified free from harmful substances. Safe for children's garments and direct skin contact apparel (cert. D22-2125 Hohenstein).
PVC-Free & VEGAN — Formulated without PVC and certified VEGAN by V-Label. A responsible choice for eco-conscious decorators and brand compliance requirements.
Laser Cuttable — Compatible with CO₂ laser cutters. No special tooling required. Use your existing laser setup without adjusting for a new film.
Layerable with Standard Films — POLI-FLEX® Premium Standard colors can be layered. Metallic finishes must be applied as the top and final layer only.
Layering Rules
Standard colors: Can be layered freely — press multiple colors on top of each other. Metallic colors (Silver, Gold): Apply as the last/top layer only. Never press a second film on top of a metallic finish. When layering, press each layer at 320°F / 15 sec. For the final top layer, ensure full pressure is applied.
