Create distinctive, professional and premium-quality garment decoration with STAHLS' CAD-CUT Flock – Dark Grey – 780. This high-quality dark grey flock heat transfer vinyl features dense, ultra-soft flock fibres that produce an elegant velour-like surface with a noticeably raised and tactile finish.
The excellent opacity ensures that Dark Grey 780 remains rich and consistent on light, dark and coloured garments. It is an ideal choice for logos, names, numbers, lettering, monograms and decorative designs where traditional smooth heat transfer vinyl does not provide enough depth or texture.
With its sophisticated dark grey colour, STAHLS' CAD-CUT Flock Dark Grey 780 is particularly suitable for professional workwear, fashion garments, sportswear, club clothing, promotional apparel and premium merchandise. The understated colour combines easily with black, white, silver, red, blue and many other colours, making it a versatile addition to any textile printing workshop.
Dark Grey 780 provides a sophisticated alternative to standard black or lighter grey textile vinyl. The deep charcoal-grey appearance gives logos and lettering a modern, premium character while remaining neutral enough to complement a wide range of garment colours.
This dark grey flock vinyl can be used for company logos, employee names, team numbers, club emblems, slogans, fashion graphics and personalised clothing. Its velvety surface catches the light differently from ordinary smooth heat transfer vinyl, creating additional visual depth and making the finished decoration feel more substantial.
For businesses producing premium branded clothing or merchandise, the combination of colour, texture and thickness can help create garments with a noticeably higher perceived value.
One of the defining features of STAHLS' CAD-CUT Flock is its soft and dense flock fibre construction. Rather than producing a completely flat print, the fibres form a tactile surface that resembles velvet or velour.
At approximately 480 microns thick, CAD-CUT Flock is considerably thicker than many traditional smooth heat transfer films. The additional thickness gives lettering, logos and graphics a distinctive raised appearance without requiring embroidery or other more complex decoration processes.
This makes Dark Grey 780 flock HTV particularly attractive for fashion-inspired garments, premium workwear, club clothing and merchandise where touch and texture are important elements of the finished product.
The sticky carrier used with STAHLS' CAD-CUT Flock helps keep design elements securely positioned during weeding and placement. This is especially useful when producing artwork containing smaller letters, numbers, separate elements or detailed logos.
Once the excess flock material has been weeded away, the required elements remain correctly arranged on the carrier, allowing the complete design to be positioned accurately on the garment before heat pressing.
For textile printers, sign makers and garment decorators, this helps improve consistency when producing personalised clothing, corporate branding, teamwear and repeat orders.
CAD-CUT Flock Dark Grey 780 can be processed using a suitable vinyl cutting plotter. Designs should normally be cut in reverse so that they appear correctly when transferred onto the garment.
Because flock material is thicker than conventional flex vinyl, blade depth, cutting pressure and speed should be adjusted accordingly. The blade should cut cleanly through the flock material without cutting through the carrier.
A small test cut is recommended before starting a complete production run. Correct cutter settings help create clean edges and make the subsequent weeding process faster and more efficient.
Dark Grey 780 is an excellent choice for professional and team garments where a subtle yet distinctive decoration is required. Company logos and employee names can gain a premium appearance, while club logos, player names and numbers benefit from the soft raised surface.
Suitable applications include:
The neutral dark grey shade is especially effective when creating understated corporate branding or combining several garment colours within the same clothing collection.
Flock heat transfer vinyl is an excellent way to introduce texture into textile designs. Rather than relying solely on colour, designers can use the velour surface to create contrast between smooth and flocked elements.
STAHLS' CAD-CUT Flock Dark Grey 780 can therefore be used as the primary material for an entire design or as a carefully selected decorative element that highlights lettering, logos or individual graphic features.
Its elegant charcoal-grey appearance works particularly well for minimalist branding, streetwear, premium merchandise, monochrome designs and corporate clothing where a refined finish is preferred.
Cut the design in reverse using a suitable vinyl cutter, then weed away the unwanted flock material. Position the finished design on the garment with the carrier facing upwards and check that the artwork is correctly aligned before pressing.
Recommended application settings are:
Use an even, reliable heat press to ensure consistent temperature and pressure across the complete design. Seams, zips, buttons and other raised areas should be kept away from the pressing area whenever possible, as they may prevent even contact between the heat platen, flock vinyl and garment.
Always check the garment manufacturer's temperature recommendations and perform a test application when working with unfamiliar fabrics.
STAHLS' CAD-CUT Flock Dark Grey 780 is recommended for:
Different fabrics, coatings and dyes may react differently to heat and pressure, so testing is always recommended before larger production runs. Extra care should be taken with highly dyed or sublimated polyester garments, where dye migration can potentially affect the final appearance.
The finished flock transfer can be washed at temperatures of up to 60°C. For the best long-term appearance, follow both the garment manufacturer's care instructions and the recommendations for the heat transfer material.
STAHLS' CAD-CUT Flock – Dark Grey – 780 combines excellent opacity, dense flock fibres and a sophisticated dark grey colour with the professional performance required for high-quality textile decoration.
