In our last blog post, we gave you a sneak preview of the new SEF films in our range. As promised, we’d now like to take a closer look at them today and show you the wonderful benefits these films offer.

On Instagram and other social media platforms, we’ve shared some DIY tips on the fantastic designs you can create with the new films. You can read all about it here and find the relevant specifications in the technical data section on yow.shop.

1. Snake-print T-shirt

This film really stands out with its elegant snakeskin look and gives your outfit that real wow factor.

This film is part of the FantasyFlex range, so there are no limits to your imagination. This range also includes zebra stripe patterns, graffiti designs, kaleidoscope patterns and much more. Are you looking for crazy films for crazy designs? Then this range is just the thing for you! But this range of foils also allows you to create elegant or simply eye-catching looks.

Thanks to its glittery finish, the Atomic Sparkle range combines very well with other foils, but even on its own it lends textiles a uniqueness that all the colours in this range can offer.

2. Metallic-effect T-shirt

Now we come to the big highlight: the puff films. As the name suggests, the film puffs up after hot transfer and not only looks cool, but feels great too.

The MetalFlex film in Candy Pink isn’t just any old pink film – no – with its shimmer and sheen, it can be used anywhere and never goes out of fashion.

3. Colourful T-shirt

The easiest way to create a colourful T-shirt is to use light colours that complement each other, but of course the design is also key here. The yellow and white puff foil creates the perfect 3D effect, whilst the plain FlexCut foil in Candy Pink rounds off the natural look.

4. T-shirt with a 3D look

In our opinion, this look really takes the biscuit! The 3D effect is created here using several different films. Simply press them onto the fabric layer by layer to create a completely new design. Feel free to give it a go with other colours or foil ranges. With boundless creativity and SEF’s new range of foils, anything is possible.

If you’re as excited as we are, then you’ll love the rest of the films in this range too. The only tricky bit is having to choose between the different colours 🙂
