Printable Technical Textiles is specialist in durably printing technical textiles. SolidskinTec is a unique printing process that guarantees high quality durable prints that resist wear and tear, repel dirt, and maintain their appearance for years.

Printable Technical Textile raises the bar in printed technical textiles. The development of our SolidskinTec printing process allows us to offer the most durable solution for printed technical textiles intended for long-term use.

SolidskinTec is a unique process that fuses inks and a special polyurethane varnish into the textile. This process results in a product that is durable and dirt-resistant, with colors that stay bright for longer.

How we began

We began printing side curtains for trucks. Major European trailer manufacturers and transportation companies have relied on our SolidskinTec for years because our printed truck side curtains are the highest quality and most durable on the market.

New markets and applications

Other markets such as leisure, architecture, and the event industry, saw the need for high-quality, technically durable, printed textiles that were guaranteed to last. We have worked with companies worldwide to provide solutions for a variety of needs, such as tensile architecture, textile facades, tensile structures, and sunshades. Other examples are in the leisure industry with trampoline parks and festival tents. Our prints with SolidskinTec are even used for outdoor furniture, bicycle bags and boxing bags.

Changing the industry

Our experts are happy to share their passion and extensive knowledge about the use of printed technical textiles. We work with partners in the technical textiles industry to advise on the selection and printing of industrial textiles.

A unique production process

Our Solidskin Technology, or SolidskinTec, is the result of 15 years of research and development. Textile pre-treatment, high quality printing, and a unique polyurethane varnish form the basis of our technology. Prints produced with our SolidskinTec process are UV-resistant, dirt-repellent, and withstand wear and tear.

Printable Technical Textiles
