High Quality Vintage Style Flock Screen Printing In Los Angeles

Trusted by thousands of companies across the U.S.
















The Devil is In the Detail
Elevate Your Brand with Custom Flocking
We offer the traditional electrostatic method of flocking using eco-friendly waterbased adhesives. Flocking screen printing can add a new dimension to your materials. Tiny particles of fiber are applied to a material with an adhesive, adding a suede-like or velvet texture to the surface. We color the fiber according to your designs, and you end up with products that stand out from the rest.
Custom flock printing is a fantastic choice if you’re looking to enhance a wide range of apparel, from everyday staples like custom dri fit t shirts and performance wear to stylish options like custom printed sweatpants. Whether you’re creating branded loungewear, athleisure collections, or corporate merchandise, flocking offers a unique velvety texture that sets your designs apart.
While most are unfamiliar with the process of flocking as a decorating technique, you may be familiar with the texture. It has been used to add fuzzy numbers to sporting branded apparel, but flocking can be applied to a wide variety of garments and materials for a professional appearance. It’s an especially unique option for custom screen printed sweatshirts when you’re looking to add tactile detail and a high-end finish. We specialize in adding a superior level of quality and detail to our flocking, done right here in sunny downtown Los Angeles.
- Less expensive than embroidery
- Covers a much larger area.

Insider Tip: Does your company have specific colors? All we need is a Pantone number and we are able to match that color to your custom flock print using PMS.

What is Custom Flock Printing?
Flocking, also known as flock screen printing, is a specialized process that involves the application of color, adhesive, and small fiber particles, commonly referred to as flock, onto a variety of branded apparel surfaces, such as custom t-shirts, custom dry fit shirts, joggers, and custom printed crewneck sweatshirts. This technique is highly effective in adding a plush, velvety texture to garments, which can significantly enhance their overall look and feel.
Precision is Key
How Does Custom Flock Printing Work?
Unlike traditional ink-based printing methods, flocking involves the printing of adhesive onto fabrics, with the flock fibers being evenly distributed across the adhesive. During this process, the fabric undergoes an electrostatic field that causes each fiber to stand upright, ensuring that the tips of the fibers are embedded into the adhesive. This allows for precise control over the placement and density of the flock fibers, resulting in a highly detailed and visually appealing finished product.


Manual Flocking vs Transfer Flocking: What Is The Best Method for Fiber Flocking?
Manual flocking involves applying adhesive ink directly onto a surface and then using an electrostatic machine to spray small fibers, or flock, onto the wet adhesive. The fibers stand upright and embed into the adhesive, creating a velvety texture.
Transfer flocking, on the other hand, involves applying adhesive to a transfer paper, which is then heat pressed onto the material. The flock fibers transfer onto the adhesive and bond to the material upon cooling.
Flocking transfers can be an economical option for those seeking a low-cost solution, however, the lower quality of the end result can be apparent. As a result, DTLA Print chooses not to offer flocking transfers in order to maintain a focus on delivering the highest quality services to our clients.
Precision is Key
Common Uses for Custom Flock Printing
Flocking, with its versatile and durable qualities, is a fitting choice for a wide variety of projects, particularly for items that are subjected to frequent wear and tear. The clientele for flock printing includes sports and dance teams, corporate, contract and retail workers, online fulfillment services, among others. Common applications for flocking include custom shirts, printed sweatshirts custom, hoodies, and branded tote bags.

Frequently Asked Questions
Haven’t found what you are looking for? Email or Contact us now here
As the flocking fiber is attached to the garment with adhesive, it is less likely to flake off. Nonetheless, it is recommended to handle it with care like any other customized garment. It is suggested to wash the garment inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry to ensure the longevity of the design. In case you choose to use a dryer, it is advisable to tumble dry inside out on a low setting. When in doubt, follow the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
Flocking fiber is a versatile material that can serve a variety of purposes. Flocking fiber is be utilized in the production of custom merchandise, such as hats, tote bags, hoodies, and more. Additionally, it can be used in packaging to enhance the sensory experience by adding a soft, velvety texture to product packaging, such as jewelry boxes and perfume bottles.
At our facility, we offer an extensive range of color options for custom flocking that can exceed your expectations. While choosing the colors for your project, we usually suggest sticking to one or two colors. However, if you prefer more colors, it can be done. Please note that using more colors may increase the complexity of the process, resulting in higher costs.
At the moment gradients and halftones are unable to be flocked; we would recommend ordering a sample to confirm as each design will be different. A minimum line weight of 2mm is suggested.
Flocking is made of small fiber particles, also known as flock, that are applied onto a surface using a specialized adhesive. The fibers can be made from a range of natural or synthetic materials, including cotton, rayon, nylon, or polyester. The specific type of material used can impact the texture, color, and overall appearance of the flocking.
Flocking fiber and flocking powder are both materials used in the flocking process, but they have different properties and applications.
Flocking fiber is made up of tiny strands of natural or synthetic materials, such as cotton, rayon, nylon, or polyester, that are deposited onto a surface using an adhesive. Flocking fibers are often longer and more flexible than flocking powder, which allows them to create a softer and more textured surface.
Flocking powder, on the other hand, is made up of small particles of nylon or rayon that are applied to a surface using electrostatic charge. The particles are much smaller than flocking fibers, which allows for more precise and intricate designs.

Screen Print - Ink Types
Eco friendly inks + screen prints are the true green alternative to screen printing. These inks replace traditional harmful inks and are 100% PVC and phthalate free.
Mostly used for athletic/activewear fabrics such as nylons, spandex, polyesters, rayons, lycra, that have a lot of stretch but can also be screen printed on other blends for different textures. These inks will make your prints stretch with the fabric and do not create cracks or creases when stretched. These should be printed on all sports jerseys, yoga apparel, athletic uniforms, and activewear.
We offer the 3M reflective ink prints as well as a standard reflective print that come in either a water-based (eco-friendly) or plastisol-based ink with the unique ability to reflect once a light source is aimed at the print. Popular uses for this new ink includes police departments, fire departments, E.M.S., and other safety professions. Has recently become extremely popular in the skate, surf, urban, and street apparel industries.
Well known for their soft feel and vibrant colors they produce when printed onto t-shirts and other textiles. When printed water based inks leave no hand feel behind so you can feel the fibers of the garment.
Inks that expands and rises when heated, giving a three dimensional look with a raised feel. Any Los Angeles t-shirt printer can buy inks and print them, but the real beauty and art of screen printing on t-shirts comes when you can mix inks correctly and accurately. Controlling how the puff inks actually puff is one example.
Silk screen t-shirt printing with plastisol is the oldest and most commonly used ink across the market to screen print your custom t shirts. The misconception how ever is that all inks are the same.
Specialty Order Off-Site
Available in both water based and discharge inks. The ink actually cracks in pieces the way you want it to so no two pieces will be alike. Great for vintage washed out looks while still brand new. This is custom silk screen printing at its best.

Perfect for creating custom silk screened T-shirts right here in Los Angeles. High Density inks can be matched to any color and rises in the drying process to create a 3D look. Inks can be raised to your desired height or width and can be printed with other high density inks of different sizes.
