ECOBLOCK vs. ECOFLEX: WHICH HEAT TRANSFER FOR SUBLIMATED JERSEYS?
Picture the worst-case scenario It’s matchday. The new jerseys are ready, the fans are in the stands, sponsors are watching, and the cameras are rolling.

This issue is called dye migration. For clubs and brands, it means complaints, costly re-productions, and unwanted stress.

ALL HEAT TRANSFERS THE SAME? HERE’S WHERE THE THINKING GOES WRONG
Are all heat transfers really the same? If you’ve ever compared heat transfers from different suppliers, you’ve probably thought: “They all seem pretty similar.” FLAT PU , 3D SILICONE , or 3D EMBROIDERY – no matter where you look, the products appear identical. And technically, many of them are. But what actually makes one outperform another?
