Flex Soft Metallic A4 – Metallic Transfer Foil for Textiles, Wood, Paper & Cardboard
Brilliant metallic effects in gold, silver, rose gold and more – no cutting plotter or weeding required!
With Ghost Flex Soft (No-Cut) A-Foil Metallic A4, you can give your designs an eye-catching metallic finish. From custom T-shirts, hoodies and tote bags to gift packaging, greeting cards and creative wood projects, this transfer foil offers a wide range of personalization possibilities.
The best part? You don’t need special metallic toner. Flex Soft Metallic works with both Ghost White Toner and suitable Ghost Color Toners. The visible metallic color comes from the selected transfer foil, not from the toner used for printing.
Combined with a compatible laser printer, our B-Paper Pro and a suitable heat press, you can transfer intricate lettering, logos and personalized designs without cutting or manual weeding.

- No cutting plotter required: No cutting or time-consuming weeding.
- Versatile applications: Suitable for textiles and compatible wood, paper and cardboard surfaces.

Metallic Printing with Ghost White Toner or Color Toners
You don’t necessarily need white toner to use Flex Soft Metallic A-Foil.
The transfer foil can be processed with both Ghost White Toner and suitable Ghost Color Toners.
The key is a clean, even toner application. Prepare the areas of your design that you want to transfer as solid shapes with 100% toner coverage whenever possible.
The printed toner color does not determine the final visible metallic effect. Instead, the finished metallic color comes from the selected transfer foil.
You can therefore use white, black or another suitable color toner, provided that your printer and toner are compatible with the transfer process.
Your advantage: Create different metallic colors with a compatible Ghost printing system without having to purchase a separate specialty toner for each effect.

Please note: Transfer performance depends on the surface, coating, heat resistance and pressure. We recommend testing the material before production, especially when working with wood, paper or cardboard.
How Does the Metallic Transfer Process Work?

Create your artwork using suitable graphic design software. Prepare the areas to be transferred as solid shapes with even toner coverage.

Apply the prepared transfer to your textile or another suitable material using a compatible heat press.
Follow the recommended processing instructions for temperature, pressing time, pressure and peeling.
