Our factory
How we make heat press printing felt
01
Nomex and polyester fibre
We use 100% Nomex, 100% polyester, or a 50/50 blend.
The mix sets how much heat the pad can take.
Send the platen temperature and we will set the mix for it.
02
Carding
Carding opens the fibre and combs out impurities and short lint.
We control temperature and humidity so the web stays even.
An even web is what keeps the finished felt the same thickness from edge to edge.
03
Web laying and needling
The web is cross-laid to the weight you need.
Needle punching builds it from 2mm up to 15mm thick.
A thicker pad cushions more, which helps on uneven or seamed work.
04
Surface finish
The face is kept smooth and even.
That is the side the transfer paper and fabric press against.
A smooth face keeps the press even, with no texture marked into the fabric.
05
Cutting
Pads are cut to standard sizes or to your platen.
Rolls are 3mm × 2m × 30m.
Send the platen size and we cut the pads to it.
06
Needle check
Every finished piece passes through a metal detector.
No broken needle leaves the factory inside the felt.
A broken needle tip left in the felt would mark your rollers or your product.
