Always turn inside out before washing – this protects the motif

Washing temperature: max. 30 °C

Gentle wash cycle / easy-care program recommended

Do not use fabric softener

No bleach or aggressive cleaning agents

Do not tumble dry!

Air drying is best for print durability

✅ Ironing

Iron inside out

No direct contact between motif and iron

Alternatively: Place baking paper over the motif

• For “Free to measure” : Please create motif 1:1 in cm (e.g. 25 cm wide → file also 25 cm wide)
• For meterware : Create file in 56 x 100 cm format – this will ensure maximum use of the area

1. File format

• SVG , PDF or AI (pure vector files)
• No pixel graphics such as PNG or JPG

2. Motif design

• Do not mirror
• Create outlines only – no fills required
• No gradients, shadows or shading
• Simple, closed shapes without open paths
• No delicate details! Puff-Flex stretches when pressed – fine lines may be lost
• Clear, striking designs with clear spacing are ideal

3. Technical specifications

• Minimum line thickness: 2 mm
• Please convert fonts to paths/curves
• No effects, transparencies or groupings

4. Color information

• Colour selection is made when ordering – the motif itself is created without colour specification (only outline)

💡 Tip: Make sure there is enough space between lines and elements – when Puff-Flex swells, it can close small gaps!
