Are you struggling with peeling logos, poor adhesion on technical fabrics, or labels that irritate your customers? You’re not alone – these are some of the most common issues apparel brands face when it comes to embellishments.
Meeting the Demands of Today’s Apparel Industry
At dekoGraphics, we’ve developed a dedicated Solution Centre that categorizes our heat transfer technologies based on real-world challenges – not just product types. This system helps our clients in sportswear, fashion, and workwear find the right solution faster.
In this article, we’ll walk you through our six solution categories, show which problem each one solves, and help you determine which might be right for your next product.
1. PERFORMANCE | Enduring Tough Conditions
Pain Point: Durability under extreme conditions.
From activewear to industrial uniforms, your garments need to withstand the toughest environments—whether that’s regular industrial washing, stretchability, or heavy wear and tear. In the PERFORMANCE category, our heat transfer solutions for textiles are designed to meet these challenges head-on. Transfers in this range ensure high elasticity, resist colour migration, and provide long-lasting adhesion, even on demanding materials. This means your logos stay intact, vibrant, and as functional as your textiles, no matter how harsh the conditions.
2. COMMUNICATION | Clear, Durable Labeling Solutions
Pain Point: Delivering essential information clearly and reliably.
Communicating care instructions, size labels, or brand information directly on textiles can be tricky. They need to be legible, durable, and comfortable for the wearer. Our COMMUNICATION category offers labels that provide sharp detail and high durability without sacrificing comfort or quality. Whether through NFC technology for interactive experiences or care and size labels that hold up after multiple washes, we ensure that every piece of information remains accessible and intact.
3. SPECIAL FABRICS | Tailored to Complex Textiles
Pain Point: Handling heat-sensitive, water-repellent, and specialty fabrics.
Working with specialized fabrics such as heat-sensitive materials, flame-retardant textiles, or water-repellent surfaces presents unique challenges. The wrong embellishment can cause fabric damage, poor adhesion, or even logo degradation. The SPECIAL FABRICS section of our Solution Centre focuses on these fabrics, offering customized transfers that bond perfectly without causing damage, even on heat-sensitive or high-performance textiles. This ensures your logo looks as good as your fabric feels.
4. LIGHT & VISIBILITY | Enhancing Safety and Aesthetic Appeal
Pain Point: Ensuring visibility in low-light environments.
For garments where safety is paramount, especially for outdoor and workwear, reflective and luminous features are essential. In our LIGHT & VISIBILITY category, we tackle this need by offering glow-in-the-dark, UV-sensitive, and reflective heat transfer solutions that provide visibility in any lighting condition. Whether it’s night visibility for safety gear or eye-catching fashion accents, these solutions are designed to stand out.
5. FUNCTION | Beyond Looks – Adding Practical Value
Pain Point: Adding functionality to textiles.
In today’s world, textiles need to offer more than just good looks. Whether it’s integrating anti-slip features on socks, NFC technology for smart interactivity, product authentication for added security, or conductive properties for enhanced connectivity, our FUNCTION category provides solutions that add true value to your garments. These heat transfers combine aesthetic appeal with practical benefits, enhancing the overall utility and performance of your products.
6. DECORATION | Making a Visual Impact
Pain Point: Delivering unique, high-quality designs that stand out.
In fashion and lifestyle apparel, making an impact through design is essential. Our DECORATION category adds texture, depth, and style to garments. Visual illusions and depth bring designs to life, while metallic effects add a luxurious touch. Creative patterns and textures open up unique possibilities, making your textiles truly stand out. These techniques transform ordinary fabrics into memorable, standout pieces.
