About flocking

So what the heck is "flocking"any way?

Odds are you’ve seen and felt flocking before but you didn't know its name. Remember that fuzzy puppy birthday card and black light posters? That's flocking.

Flocking is a fiber coating process that allows you selectively add dimension and texture to almost any product. From P.O.P displays to greeting cards, posters to gift boxes, adding flocking makes a statement about you and your products.

What can flocking do for you and your products? With flocking, you can add a rich look and feel to any product. Provide texture where none existed before. Improve function by creating a gripping surface on products. Even reduce noise and vibration.

With flocking the applications are endless!
