Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between blockout fabrics and regular digital-print fabrics?

Blockout fabrics feature an opaque intermediate layer that prevents printed designs from showing through from the back. They are particularly well-suited for double-sided printing applications such as lightboxes, banners, and advertising displays.

Georg+Otto Friedrich supplies knitted fabrics in various finishes with widths of up to 540 cm, tailored to a range of digital printing and industrial applications.

CiCLO® is a technology that makes polyester fibers biodegradable if they end up in the environment (e.g., as microplastics). GOF offers flag fabrics powered by CiCLO® as a more sustainable alternative in the digital printing segment.

Georg+Otto Friedrich’s knitted fabrics are suitable for sublimation printing, direct printing, screen printing, UV printing, and latex printing.

Georg+Otto Friedrich manufactures exclusively in Germany, at three production sites, and has a branch in Austria.

GOF supplies technical textiles for the automotive and medical sectors, among others, as well as for the abrasives, mattress, and blanket industries, and for protective clothing.

Georg+Otto Friedrich develops and manufactures its textiles entirely in its own facilities in Germany, without any overseas production—from yarn processing to the final finishing.
