Default Flex/Flock Print Concern with Shrinking Shirts

Hello,

I'm a spreadshirt user and know that their flex print is actually thremoflex or flock. My concern is that I've been reading on posts that 100% cotton shirts that have been heat pressed with flex/flock material are subject to wrinkling if run through the dryer after wash. I'm concerned because all of my shirts/sweaters etc are either cotton or ringspun cotton and I'm worried that there will be many unhappy customers. Apparently 50/50 shirts are the solution, but I don't think spreadshirt offers 50/50. Any thoughts...or anyone have problems with wrinkled flex prints after wash and dry. Thanks!

I have both of their flock and flex shirts and have not experienced any wrinkling.

Haven't you ordered your own shirts? You can test and tell for yourself.

I wear Spreadshirts everyday (disclosure... I'm the CEO), and I have not experienced any problems like the one you describe. I haven't heard of this as an issue either. If you do experience it, we would want you to return the shirts so we could learn what is happening.

Thanks,
Jana

P.S. My shirt today says, "Drive pushes, passion pulls". :-)

As a seller and buyer of flex printed shirts, I have never experienced these problems.

Thanks everyone for your input. I just placed an order for some of my shirts and will do my own test. Good to hear positive results and I appreciate the input!

I own quite a few shirts using Flex/Flock and I've seen no wrinkling, except one one shirt that's been wash and dried A LOT and even then it's pretty minor.
