3D heat transfers are a big topic right now – especially 3D SILICONE .

In certain collections, clubs go for a more classic embroidered look. So what’s behind these different choices? And how do you decide which solution fits your jersey best? 3D doesn’t always mean the same thing At first glance, 3D SILICONE and 3D EMBROIDERY have a lot in common.

WHY JERSEY NUMBERS ARE NOT JUST DESIGN AND WHAT FIFA, UEFA, DFL, SERIE A AND OTHERS REALLY REQUIRE
If you work with jersey design, you know the topic. There are regulations. Approval processes. Clear limits on what is possible. And still, this is exactly where problems tend to arise. Names and numbers are subject to strict regulations from organisations such as FIFA , UEFA and national leagues. These define readability, contrast, size and placement, and ultimately decide whether a design is approved for the pitch. Most ideas don’t fail because of the design itself. They fail because they don’t meet the requirements behind it. In this article, we take a closer look at what really matters in practice, [...]
NEW EMBELLISHMENT PARTNER IN THE CLUB: WHAT A CLEAN ONBOARDING LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
The moment a club changes its embellishment partner is rarely a relaxed one. Internally, it means: New processes. New contacts. New coordination. And one question that often lingers unspoken: 👉 What happens if it doesn’t work? Because in the end, it is not just about logos or products. It is about whether everything runs just as reliably in day to day operations as before. And that is exactly why many clubs hesitate to take this step, even when they are not truly satisfied with their current solution. Why many clubs delay the switch In many clubs, processes work. Orders go [...]

ON-SITE TEXTILE EMBELLISHMENT: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT A MOBILE SERVICE
A mobile embellishment service makes sense whenever embellishment is not just a production step, but part of the moment. In simple terms: production moves to where it’s needed – directly to the event. In practice, this mainly applies to events, outfittings, or activations where timing, personalisation, and handover come together. This is exactly where on-site embellishment shows its strengths. In this article, we’ll explain when a mobile embellishment service makes sense, how it works, and what you should consider. When does on-site embellishment make sense? Not every project requires production at the event location. But there are clear situations where [...]
FLEX FOIL VS. MODULAR NAMES & NUMBER SYSTEMS: WHICH WORKS BETTER FOR FOOTBALL FANSHOPS?
For many football clubs, the jersey is the most important merchandise product they sell. And hardly any fan wants a jersey without personalization. The name of their favorite player. Or their own name on the back. To make this process quick and efficient in the fanshop, many clubs still rely on a system that has barely changed for years: complete name and number sheets made from flex film. The principle is simple. The full layout – name, number and club script – is plotted on a single sheet, weeded, and then applied to the jersey in one step. For many [...]
