ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for making flocked heat transfers such that, when the resultant flocked heat transfer is applied to a receiving surface such as a garment, no objectionable thermoplastic deposit is left on the garment in the background areas of the flocked graphic design. The method comprises applying the flocked pattern onto a thermoplastic film carrier, placing an open mesh carrier cloth on top of the flocked pattern and film, and then applying a vacuum behind the cloth carrier while heating the sandwich structure to draw the heat softened thermoplastic film deep into the fibers of the carrier cloth of the heat transfer. The carrier cloth has a weave and absorbency so as to accept the thermoplastic material and retain it when the flocked heat transfer is finally applied to a receiving surface such as a garment, so that none of the film transfers to the garment in the background areas.
