A Flexible PCB (FPC) is a circuit board made from flexible substrate materials like polyimide (Kapton). Unlike rigid boards, flex PCBs can bend, fold, and conform to 3D shapes, making them ideal for compact electronics, wearables, medical devices, and applications requiring dynamic flexing or space-saving designs.

Flex PCBs are entirely flexible throughout, while Rigid-Flex PCBs combine rigid FR-4 sections with flexible polyimide sections in a single board. Rigid-flex boards are ideal when you need stable component mounting areas (rigid parts) connected by flexible circuits, eliminating connectors and reducing assembly complexity and weight.

For prototype flex PCBs, our express service delivers in as fast as 5 business days. Standard prototype orders ship in 7-10 days. Production orders typically range from 10-20 days depending on complexity, layer count, and quantity. Rush options are available for urgent projects with additional expedite fees.

Simply fill out our online quote form with your specifications (layers, size, quantity, surface finish, etc.) or email your Gerber files directly to quote@flextechcircuits.com. We provide detailed quotes within 2 hours during business hours. For complex designs, our engineers will review and provide pricing with DFM recommendations.

We accept Gerber RS-274X files (preferred), ODB++, Excellon drill files, IPC-2581, and most major EDA exports including Altium Designer, Eagle, KiCad, OrCAD, and PADS. Our free DFM (Design for Manufacturing) check will identify any potential manufacturability issues before production begins.
