The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) organizes competitions and tournaments for national federations and clubs throughout the Caribbean region.

These competitions bring together teams operating under different sporting, organizational, and economic realities. For many clubs and federations, this means jerseys are often used over extended periods and across multiple tournaments.

That was exactly the challenge.

While official tournaments require sleeve badges and Match Official badges to create a professional and consistent appearance, permanently applying tournament-specific branding is often impractical. Teams need the flexibility to continue using their jerseys long after an event has concluded.

The badges are primarily used during competitions such as the CFU Club Shield and the CFU U14 Challenge Series, where teams from across the Caribbean compete in official tournaments.

The jerseys needed to maintain a professional tournament appearance while remaining reusable after the event—without permanent branding or adhesive residue left behind.

That is why the CFU needed a solution that would deliver professional tournament branding without compromising the long-term use of team jerseys.

This is where our collaboration with the CFU began.

THE CHALLENGE

It quickly became clear that the solution needed to meet several requirements simultaneously.

The tournament badges had to:

  • Be high quality
  • Deliver a professional appearance
  • Be easy to apply
  • Remain securely attached during competition
  • Be removable after the event

Since the badges needed to be applied directly on-site—without heat presses or additional machinery—simplicity and ease of application were critical to the success of the program.

At the same time, the future use of the uniforms had to be considered. The project was therefore about more than creating visually impactful badges; it required developing a solution that would perform reliably in real tournament conditions while preserving the usability of the jerseys.


THE SOLUTION

Player with reusable CFU Sleeve Badge on Football Jersey

Working closely with the CFU, dekoGraphics developed sleeve badges and Match Official badges using our 3D SILICONE X SATIN technology.

The combination of a satin fabric base and a matte silicone surface created a premium look with a structured finish and high-quality feel. The raised silicone layer also adds visible depth, giving the badges a professional appearance on the jerseys.

The key element of the solution, however, was the 3M Self-Adhesive Backing.

This allowed the badges to:

  • Be applied directly on-site
  • Remain securely attached throughout the tournament
  • Be removed after the event

One major advantage is that the self-adhesive badges can be applied without heat presses or specialized equipment. They function much like premium-quality stickers, allowing for fast and easy application whenever required.

This created a practical solution for temporary tournament branding without permanently altering the jerseys.

For federations, clubs, and tournament organizers that need to reuse jerseys or adapt them for different events, the benefits are significant.

The solution is not limited to tournament badges.

Temporary sponsor logos, event branding, and special applications for interviews or media appearances can also be executed using this approach—without permanently decorating existing teamwear. Furthermore, this application method can be used for select non-textile branding opportunities, creating unique possibilities beyond apparel.


THE RESULT

Player with reusable CFU Sleeve Badge on Jersey

With reusable tournament badges, the CFU was able to create a professional and consistent look across multiple competitions.

During tournaments such as the CFU Club Shield and the CFU U14 Challenge Series, the badges helped establish a unified tournament identity while allowing teams to continue using their jerseys afterward.

Teams retained the flexibility they needed, enabling jerseys to serve both official tournament requirements and ongoing use without permanent event-specific branding.

The solution also simplified logistics. Badges could be applied directly on-site without additional machinery, specialized equipment, or complex processes.

The CFU project demonstrated that not every branding solution needs to be permanent.

Sometimes the most effective solution is the most flexible one.


Key takeaways – What other clubs and federations can learn

Many clubs, federations, and tournament organizers face similar challenges, including:

  • Changing competitions
  • Short-term events
  • Different sponsor requirements
  • The need to reuse jerseys

Temporary applications such as self-adhesive tournament badges provide a practical and effective solution.

They combine:

  • Simple application
  • A professional appearance
  • Flexible use cases
  • Extended jersey lifespan

Whether addressing temporary sponsor changes, event branding, or media appearances, removable applications create new opportunities without permanently modifying existing teamwear.

Flexible branding solutions for modern football

Whether it is tournament badges, event branding, or flexible decoration solutions — not every project requires a permanent application.

At dekoGraphics, we develop solutions built around the real needs of clubs, federations, and competitions.

Let’s find the right solution for your next project together.

SURF NATION – A UNIFIED IDENTITY ACROSS A NATIONAL CLUB NETWORK https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/teamwear-heat-transfer-system-surf-nation/ https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/teamwear-heat-transfer-system-surf-nation/#comments Tue, 02 Jun 2026 08:24:36 +0000 PERFORMANCE CARLOTTA FOOTBALL ECOBLOCK BLACK 3D SILICONE https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/teamwear-heat-transfer-system-surf-nation/ Weiterlesen

Surf Nation is not a single club. It is a network.

Across the United States, the organization brings together numerous youth soccer clubs, each with its own story, its own community, and often its own look. 

That diversity is what makes Surf Nation strong. And at the same time, complex. As the organization grows, one key question becomes more important:

How do you build one strong brand without losing what makes each club unique?

With the launch of the Ola De Oro collection, this question became the starting point of our collaboration with Surf Nation and Soccer Post. The goal was to create a clear, consistent look that connects all clubs, without making everything look the same. 


THE CHALLENGE

Surf Nation Ola De Oro Jerseys dekoGraphics Heat Transfers 5

The starting point was demanding.

Surf Nation is not centrally structured. It is a growing network with different needs and use cases, but one shared ambition: to represent a professional and high-quality brand in youth soccer.

The challenge was not just to define a design, but to make sure it could be applied consistently across all products and situations.

This meant:

  • The designs had to look consistent across all clubs
  • They needed to work across different products, from match kits to training and teamwear
  • They had to perform across multiple colour variations
  • And they had to be reliably produced as heat transfer logos

That last point is critical.

Because not every design can be applied in a way that works across different materials and colours.

The task was clear:

👉 Take existing designs and adapt them so they can be implemented in a clean, reliable, and scalable way.


THE SOLUTION

Surf Nation Ola De Oro Jerseys dekoGraphics Heat Transfers 4

Our role started where design meets reality.

We step in where design needs to be applied.

Together with Surf Nation and Soccer Post, we analyzed the existing designs and adapted them so they could be cleanly applied across different products and materials.

A key focus was:

  • Readability across all colours
  • Making sure details are not lost during application
  • Using effects to enhance the design without overpowering it

The goal was to get the most out of the existing designs and make them work in real-world use.

Implementation as Heat Transfer logos

Surf Nation Ola De Oro Jerseys dekoGraphics Heat Transfers 6

The crucial step was the implementation.

The designs were produced as heat transfer logos, using the right technologies to ensure both visual quality and performance.

- The club logos were produced using 3D SILICONE X TATAMI. Silicone is applied on a high-quality tatami fabric base, combining two materials to create a structured surface with a distinctive look and a premium feel.

This combination ensures that the designs not only look good, but also perform reliably in real use.

Built to scale across clubs and products

Surf Nation Ola De Oro Jerseys dekoGraphics Heat Transfers 3

Scalability was a key part of the solution.

The system had to work across an entire network, not just one team.

That’s why everything was designed to:

  • work across different clubs
  • apply to multiple product types
  • remain consistent over time

The result is a solution that grows with the organization.

Speed and execution under real timelines

Another important part of the project was the speed of execution.

The program started in late November. Preproduction samples were developed, approved, and moved into production within a short timeframe.

From there, production scaled quickly and the full rollout was completed only a few months later.

The project showed that the challenge was not only creating designs that work, but also implementing them reliably under real production timelines.

Collaboration as a key factor

Close collaboration between all partners played a major role throughout the project.

Surf Nation brought the brand vision. Soccer Post contributed the retail and distribution perspective. And we made sure the technical implementation connects both.

This was not a simple “brief and deliver” process. It was a continuous exchange, where ideas were refined and solutions tested—always with one goal:

To create something that not only looks good, but works in real use.


THE RESULT

Surf Nation Ola De Oro Jerseys dekoGraphics Heat Transfers 7

With the Ola De Oro collection, Surf Nation created a unified look that works consistently across different clubs and products.

The designs perform reliably across match kits, training apparel, and additional teamwear — regardless of colours, materials, or applications.

This creates a consistent overall appearance throughout the collection, while still allowing each club to keep its own identity.

From a technical perspective, the project also showed how important a clean and reliable implementation is. The heat transfer logos were produced at large scale and delivered within a very tight timeline.

This combination of design, functionality, and reliable execution was a key part of the project.

That is also reflected in the feedback from Surf Nation:

“The result is a bold, cohesive brand mark that strengthens recognition, enhances player pride, and elevates the Surf brand on and off the field. We achieved this goal working with dekoGraphics who guided us through the journey, with knowledge, passion and made this an enjoyable experience with an even better outcome. This is just the beginning of our partnership. We look forward to collaborating with dekoGraphics on future projects that set the standard for innovation and style both on and off the field.” Andy Prosser, Surf Nation Director

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Surf Nation and supporting future developments across their uniforms and apparel programs.

THE ADIDAS NAME & NUMBER PROGRAM – THE SYSTEM BEHIND EVERY JERSEY NUMBER https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/adidas-name-and-number-program/ https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/adidas-name-and-number-program/#comments Fri, 17 Apr 2026 15:00:00 +0000 PERFORMANCE CARLOTTA FOOTBALL ECOBLOCK BLACK https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/adidas-name-and-number-program/ Weiterlesen

Names and numbers on a jersey?

For fans, they’re a given. They’re simply there – an integral part of the shirt.

And that’s exactly where the real challenge lies.

Because what looks like a small detail is, in reality, a highly complex system – especially for adidas national teams, where everything has to work on a global scale.

For over two decades, we’ve been the official producer of the adidas name and number program for selected national teams.

Together, we’ve built a system that not only works reliably, but delivers when it matters most: on the biggest stage in sport.


THE CHALLENGE

This isn’t about a single jersey design.

It’s about a global system that must work seamlessly across multiple teams, markets, and millions of jerseys.

Today, that means:

  • a wide range of national teams
  • multiple jersey versions per federation (home, away, goalkeeper, special editions)
  • different design concepts
  • multiple size ranges (men, women, kids, mini kits, baby kits)

What this really means becomes especially clear when it comes to colour. Each team has its own colour definitions, carefully matched to the specific jersey.

The result: dozens of variations within a single program.

And every single one must perform:

  • in daylight in the stadium
  • under floodlights
  • on TV, under changing camera conditions
  • after intensive use and repeated washing

At the same time, strict adidas requirements apply, alongside FIFA and UEFA regulations. The result must look identical worldwide – no matter where the jersey is sold or worn.


THE SOLUTION

To manage this complexity, we’ve worked closely with adidas to build a system that doesn’t treat design, development, production, and distribution as separate steps – but as one connected process.


DESIGN – It has to look good. And it has to work.

Names and numbers jersey designs by dekoGraphics

The starting point lies with adidas – jersey designs and initial concepts for names and numbers.

Our role begins where design becomes performance.

This includes:

  • developing full alphabets for player names
  • refining proportions, spacing, and readability
  • integrating effects
  • ensuring compliance with FIFA and UEFA requirements

A design is never evaluated in isolation. What matters is whether it works under real conditions – in motion, under lighting, on TV, and across different materials.


DEVELOPMENT – Where everything is decided

adidas names and numbers dekoGraphics Heat Transfers Colour Matching

The most critical phase is development. Because what works on screen is only the starting point.

A key element is colour matching. Colours aren’t simply adopted – they’re developed under real conditions. Material, surface, and light all influence how colours appear. That’s why we work with physical samples on original fabrics and test under real-life conditions. For each federation, multiple colour concepts are developed in parallel.

These are aligned through physical samples:

  • on original fabrics
  • under different lighting conditions
  • in combination with the full jersey

This process runs through multiple iterations – together with adidas.

At the same time, technical testing takes place:

  • application behaviour under heat and pressure
  • durability across multiple wash cycles
  • performance on different materials

Only once everything performs reliably under real conditions is the program approved by the relevant governing bodies.

👉 This phase isn’t just a step in the process. It’s the foundation for everything that follows.


PRODUCTION – At scale. Without error.

Names and Numbers System dekoGraphics

Production isn’t about a handful of names or numbers. It’s about supplying millions of jerseys with a system that works flawlessly.

This includes:

  • complete number sets (0–9) for back, chest, and shorts
  • player names
  • individual letters
  • all colour variations
  • all sizes

Custom player names are produced using plotter sheets, while pre-produced full sets are available for top players to ensure immediate availability when demand spikes.

A key factor is the material used: ECOBLOCK BLACK.

  • prevents dye migration on sublimated fabrics
  • performs on modern performance materials
  • meets the adidas A01 standard

ECOBLOCK BLACK is essential for ensuring the system works under real conditions


AVAILABILITY – When timing is everything

Umschnuermaschine 3

A system only works if it’s available before it’s needed.

Especially during tournaments, demand can arise within hours.

If a player suddenly becomes the focus, their name and number must be available immediately – worldwide.

That’s why our approach is based on forward planning:

  • names and numbers are held in stock
  • all colour variants are available
  • all sizes are prepared

This allows us to respond instantly – even to sudden demand.


GLOBAL EXECUTION – Everything has to come together

dekoGraphics adidas official names and numbers heat transfers

After production, the real challenge begins: global implementation.

Products must be available simultaneously:

  • for national teams
  • in specialist sports retail
  • in global retail environments
  • through distributors worldwide

To achieve this, we rely on a global network of our own locations, partners, and distribution structures.

The key isn’t shipping – it’s coordination:

  • markets are planned in parallel
  • volumes are aligned early
  • availability is synchronised

At the same time, all stakeholders work with identical specifications:

  • positioning of names and numbers
  • sizing and spacing
  • application parameters

This ensures a consistent result worldwide.


THE RESULT

adidas names and numbers by dekoGraphics

The true strength of this system isn’t visible in the planning – but in the moments that matter most. During international tournaments, complexity increases dramatically.

Demand becomes dynamic:

  • players turn into bestsellers overnight
  • markets access the same resources simultaneously
  • requirements change at short notice

In these moments, everything has to come together. And this is where the difference between a product and a system becomes clear.

The result:

Millions of jerseys worldwide – with identical quality, consistent appearance, and reliable performance.

For the fan, only one thing is visible: A name. A number. Everything fits.


KEY TAKEAWAYS – What others can learn

This success story shows that effective name and number programs are far more than a design element.

What really matters:

  • Systems over single products – only holistic approaches scale
  • Development as the key phase – this is where success is defined
  • Availability as a success factor – planning doesn’t end with production
  • Global consistency – quality must be identical everywhere

Our system is designed to adapt to different brand structures, team setups, and distribution models.

CONCLUSION: Behind every name & number program is a system

Whether for national teams, clubs, or global brands – if name and number programs are expected to perform under real conditions, it takes more than great design.

It takes a system.

At dekoGraphics, we develop exactly these kinds of solutions – together with our partners, tailored to their needs and built for maximum performance.

VIRTUS BOLOGNA – HOW A BLACK JERSEY GAINS DEPTH THROUGH DETAIL https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/virtus-bologna-jersey-details/ https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/virtus-bologna-jersey-details/#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:45:38 +0000 PERFORMANCE CARLOTTA FOOTBALL 3D SILICONE https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/virtus-bologna-jersey-details/ Weiterlesen

]]>
Virtus Bologna stands for a clear, defined look in basketball, black, reduced to the essentials.

And that is exactly what makes every new jersey a challenge.

The more reduced a design is, the more weight lies in every single detail.

There is nothing to hide behind. No bold colours, no loud graphics. Only the interplay of material, structure and function.

The goal for the new jersey was clear:

A completely new design – one that still fits seamlessly into the identity of the club.

A basketball jersey that performs on the court and connects with the people wearing it.


THE CHALLENGE

Minimalist designs leave no room for compromise.

Without strong contrasts or dominant graphics, every single element affects the overall perception.

The requirements were clear:

  • Logos need to be visible without dominating
  • Numbers must perform under all conditions, on court, on screen and for the fans
  • Details should feel premium without disturbing the clean look

At the same time, the goal was not to change the identity of Virtus Bologna. The challenge was to refine it with precision, while introducing new visual, functional and digital elements.


THE SOLUTION

The solution did not come from one single feature. It came from combining different technologies, each with a clear role.

Working closely with the club, we focused on the areas where small adjustments create a noticeable impact:


#1 Club crest – LENTEX® | FLY EYE

Virtus Bologna Jersey x dekoGraphics 2

The Virtus crest was developed using LENTEX® | FLY-EYE, a technology that creates depth through a fine lens structure.

  • subtle floating effect
  • changes slightly depending on the viewing angle
  • stronger presence without adding colour

It is not something you analyse, but something you notice immediately.


#2 FIP badge – contrast through material

Virtus Bologna Jersey x dekoGraphics 4

The FIP badge was produced using 3D HF TPU, combined with a subtle metallic finish.

  • contrast comes from material, not colour
  • light reflection creates visibility
  • clean separation without distraction

This creates a balance between movement and calm areas on the jersey.


#3 Authentic label – physical meets digital

Virtus Bologna Jersey x dekoGraphics 3

The authentic label goes beyond traditional branding.

With 3D SILICONE I MULTILEVEL, it creates real depth you can both see and feel. At the same time, an integrated QR code connects the jersey to digital content.

  • multi-layer structure 
  • precise execution of small details
  • QR code as a gateway to additional content

A small element that extends the jersey beyond the fabric.


#4 Names and numbers – function with added detail

Virtus Bologna Jersey x dekoGraphics 5

For player names and sponsor logos, Virtus Bologna uses ECOBLOCK BLACK.

  • clear readability in all situations
  • strong durability
  • consistent quality across all applications

To go one step further, a subtle pattern was added to the back numbers with ECOLBLOCK BLACK | MATT GLOSS.

  • visible only under certain lighting conditions
  • adds depth to the surface
  • gives the numbers their own character

The result, numbers that stay clear, but feel more unique.


The importance of the overall composition

The real difference does not come from individual elements.

It comes from how they work together:

  • matte and glossy surfaces
  • structured and smooth materials
  • static and dynamic effects

This combination creates a jersey that feels consistent and well considered.


THE RESULT

Virtus Bologna Jersey with Heat Transfers by dekoGraphics close up

The final jersey stays true to its identity. And that is exactly what gives it strength.

From a distance, it looks clean and reduced. Up close, a different level of depth becomes visible:

  • different materials
  • subtle highlights
  • functional and digital elements

It does not try to be louder. It simply works better, in every detail.

dekoAI Your Heat Transfer AI Assistant from dekoGraphics

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Virtus Bologna project shows what really matters in reduced designs:

  • Less design does not mean less work
  • Details make the difference
  • Technologies work best in combination

Or simply put: 

👉 When everything is reduced, every detail matters.

HUNTSVILLE HAVOC – WHEN STANDARD LOGOS NO LONGER DO THE JOB https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/huntsville-havoc-premium-sportswear-branding/ https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/huntsville-havoc-premium-sportswear-branding/#comments Wed, 12 Nov 2025 08:32:00 +0000 PERFORMANCE SPECIAL FABRICS CARLOTTA FOOTBALL 3D SILICONE https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/huntsville-havoc-premium-sportswear-branding/ Weiterlesen

]]>
The Huntsville Havoc – a professional ice hockey club from the SPHL – were looking for ways to elevate the appearance of their equipment.

The club places great importance on professionalism, fan engagement, and strong sponsor partnerships. The goal was a consistent, high-quality branding across all areas — from jerseys and teamwear to helmets.


THE CHALLENGE

While the previous applications served their purpose, they lacked the premium look the club wanted. Fine details were lost, and durability did not meet the demands of professional ice hockey — where clothing and equipment face extreme stress.

Sponsor logos — such as the Polaris branding on helmets — needed to stand out more and remain durable throughout the season.

The challenge was clear: to find a solution that looked professional, performed reliably, and worked seamlessly across multiple materials.


THE SOLUTION

Together with the Huntsville Havoc team, we developed a three-part branding concept tailored to the specific requirements of jerseys, teamwear, and helmets.

#1 Jerseys – 3D HF TPU Transfers

Huntsville Havoc dekoGraphics

For the jerseys, we used our 3D HF TPU Transfers.

These are produced through high-frequency embossing (HF), which transfers even the finest details precisely into the material. The result is a matte, embossed TPU logo with a crisp, three-dimensional structure.

They give the jerseys a premium, understated look while offering high durability — ideal for the physical demands of the game.


#2 Teamwear – 3D SILICONE X SATIN

Huntsville Havoc dekoGraphics 4

For jackets, polos, and other teamwear items, we chose 3D SILICONE X SATIN.

This technique combines matte silicone print with a shiny satin base, creating a soft-touch texture and subtle gloss. The result is an elegant, refined appearance, perfectly suited for presentation and off-ice apparel.

At the same time, the surface remains robust and pleasant to the touch — perfect for daily use.


#3 Helmets – 3D SILICONE with 3M Backing

Huntsville Havoc dekoGraphics 3

The biggest innovation came in helmet decoration. Since helmets don’t have textile surfaces, we developed a special version of our 3D SILICONE transfers, combined with a high-adhesion 3M backing.

This ensures strong adhesion on curved hard-shell surfaces and allows sponsor logos to appear in the same premium style used on textiles.

The result: three-dimensional, high-contrast logos with crisp edges that stand out under arena lighting and hold up under heavy use.


CONSISTENT QUALITY THROUGHOUT THE SEASON

To maintain a consistently high standard during the entire season, we standardized the application process, defined tested press parameters, and provided the equipment team with clear application guidelines.

This ensured that every logo — from the first to the last — was applied with the same flawless quality.


THE RESULT

Huntsville Havoc dekoGraphics 5

With their new equipment, the Huntsville Havoc now present a cohesive, premium look across all touchpoints.

  • 3D HF TPU Transfers on the jerseys create a modern matte finish and precise definition.
  • 3D SILICONE X SATIN on the teamwear delivers an elegant, professional appearance.
  • 3D SILICONE with 3M Backing on helmets provides bold sponsor visibility and long-lasting adhesion.

Together, these elements form a cohesive, technically advanced branding solution — durable in use and striking in appearance.

What other clubs can learn from this

This project demonstrates that premium embellishment is more than a visual detail. With the right techniques, clubs can make their brand values visible and lasting — across textiles, equipment, and beyond.

Three key insights:

  1. Match the technology to the material: Every surface has unique needs — textiles, coated materials, and hard shells all require different solutions.
  2. Adhesive innovation opens new possibilities: With specialized adhesives and 3M backing, even helmets can be reliably branded.
  3. Consistent brand presence: When jerseys, teamwear, and helmets share a unified visual and tactile language, the result is a professional, recognizable identity.

CONCLUSION

The Huntsville Havoc project shows just how versatile modern heat transfer technologies can be. Whether on textiles or hard surfaces, the right material combination ensures a cohesive, premium appearance.

For us at dekoGraphics, this project marked an exciting step beyond textiles — proving that our technologies deliver the same quality and precision on a wide range of materials.

An event that connects.

Two days, five presses, five heat transfer specialists and more than 700 athletes, coaches and staff:

The DSV Team Outfitting at the NürnbergMesse was an organisational challenge that required precision, coordination, and teamwork.

Every year, the DSV family gathers to mark the official start of the new winter season. For us at dekoGraphics, this event has long become a tradition. For over a decade, we’ve supported the German Ski Association (Deutscher Skiverband or DSV) as their trusted partner for premium textile branding.

Our task this year: applying the official authority logos – from the German Armed Forces, Customs, Federal and State Police, and the German Sports Aid Foundation – to the athletes’ jackets.


THE CHALLENGE

DSV Einkleidung 2025 Textilveredelung dekoGraphics 2

The scale of this project is impressive every year. The DSV athletes’ equipment includes around 50 different apparel items – from base layers and softshell jackets to wind-tunnel-tested racing suits.

However, the on-site branding process during the two-day outfitting focused exclusively on the athletes’ jackets, which were branded directly at the NürnbergMesse with the required authority logos.

Many of these garments are made of DWR-coated, water-repellent materials, which makes the application of heat transfers particularly demanding. Each logo needed to be durable, colour-accurate and perfectly positioned.

Coordination between all partners – including adidas as the official outfitter for Biathlon and Nordic disciplines, and Bogner for Alpine – required exact timing and smooth teamwork.


THE SOLUTION

DSV Einkleidung 2025 Textilveredelung dekoGraphics 7

For this application, we used our proven ECOBLOCK BLACK | DWR technology – designed for reliable adhesion even on water-repellent, coated fabrics.

While most sponsor logos, such as Kaufland, had already been pre-applied at our headquarters in St. Leon-Rot, the on-site branding in Nürnberg focused on the authority and Sports Aid Foundation logos.

Five of our specialists travelled with complete equipment to the event venue – including all transfer presses, tools, and materials. We set up a temporary production area inside the exhibition hall to carry out the final branding step directly during the DSV Team Outfitting.

Working closely with the DSV team and outfitters, each jacket was individually checked, positioned, and pressed. Within just two days, several hundred jackets were precisely and reliably branded with the logos of the German Sports Aid Foundation, Customs, Armed Forces, and Police.

Two days of technology and team spirit

DSV Einkleidung 2025 Textilveredelung dekoGraphics 10

Behind the scenes, the atmosphere reflected much more than logistics – it was about energy, excitement, and community.

Throughout the two days at the NCC West of the NürnbergMesse, athletes moved from station to station: registration, fittings, equipment pick-up, media sessions and photo shoots. Between the apparel stands of adidas, uvex, and Bogner, they stopped by our area for the official logo application.

It was inspiring to witness how a mix of concentration and anticipation filled the hall. With every branded jacket, the new winter season came one step closer.

Technology that proves itself

DSV Einkleidung 2025 Textilveredelung dekoGraphics 3

The ECOBLOCK BLACK | DWR transfers are the result of years of technical development and collaboration with leading sportswear brands.

They offer:

  • Reliable adhesion even on DWR-coated surfaces
  • Wash and weather resistance for high-performance use
  • Sharp edges and precise colour definition across materials

Each logo was applied and inspected to ensure it meets the daily demands of elite training, travel, and competition.


THE RESULT

DSV Einkleidung 2025 Textilveredelung dekoGraphics 8

After two focused days, our work was successfully completed: All DSV athletes’ jackets were branded on site with the official authority logos – from Customs to the Armed Forces and Police.

In total, several hundred jackets were precisely finished on schedule, completing the final step of the team outfitting before around 500 athletes started the new World Cup season in their fully branded teamwear.

For us, this annual collaboration is always special – a project that highlights the close partnership between dekoGraphics, the DSV, and its official outfitters.

Key Takeaways

  • Material expertise matters: Specialized technologies ensure consistent results on advanced performance fabrics.

    Efficiency comes from preparation: Thorough planning and trained teams guarantee smooth workflows.

    Brand identity lives in the details: Durable, high-quality logos reflect professionalism and trust.

MOOSE KNUCKLES X R-PAC: FROM COMPLIANCE TO TRANSPARENCY WITH THE DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORT (DPP) https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/moose-knuckles-digital-product-passport/ https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/moose-knuckles-digital-product-passport/#comments Tue, 07 Oct 2025 09:48:00 +0000 DPP PAOLA BRAND COMMUNICATION https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/moose-knuckles-digital-product-passport/ Weiterlesen

Global regulations are reshaping the fashion and textile industry. The EU Digital Product Passport (DPP), the UFLPA in the United States, and France’s AGEC Law all demand a new level of transparency across supply chains.

For many brands, this shift feels like a compliance burden. But for others, it’s an opportunity: a chance to strengthen consumer trust, prove sustainability claims, and build future-proof operations.

One of the first luxury brands to take this step is Moose Knuckles – showing how compliance can evolve into a competitive advantage.

THE CHALLENGE

Moose Knuckles dekoGraphics x r pac Digital Product Passport DPP in Textiles with heat transfers 6

The key challenge was clear:

  • Capture material origin and movement – from thread to finished garment.
  • Meet global compliance standards – covering EU, US, and beyond.
  • Protect brand integrity – by ensuring transparency didn’t compromise exclusivity.

In short: how can a luxury brand like Moose Knuckles keep its premium positioning while meeting the radical transparency that regulators (and increasingly, consumers) expect?

THE SOLUTION

Screenshot 2025 10 02 115301

To address this, Moose Knuckles partnered with r-pac CNCT and Retraced.

  • r-pac TRCE solution provided product identification and tracking capabilities, linking each garment to its digital record.
  • Retraced delivered the supply chain data integration, capturing every step from raw materials to finished goods.

The result: a connected framework that made the Digital Product Passport not just possible, but practical.

Through this approach, Moose Knuckles is now able to:

✔ Validate supply chain processes in real time

Streamline compliance reporting

✔ Strengthen consumer engagement by verifying authenticity through digital triggers

THE RESULT

Moose Knuckles is now among the first luxury brands to put a DPP strategy into practice. Beyond ticking regulatory boxes, the brand has turned compliance into an opportunity for differentiation:

  • Consumer Trust: Every product can be authenticated and traced.
  • Operational Efficiency: A single digital identity connects the supply chain.
  • Sustainability Communication: Clear, verified data strengthens environmental claims.
  • Future-Proofing: Ready for EU DPP in 2029 and global legislation beyond.


Why This Matters for Other Brands

Moose Knuckles shows what many brands are now realising: DPP is not just a regulationit’s a new way of doing business. Luxury or mainstream, sportswear or fashion – brands that prepare early will benefit from smoother compliance, stronger consumer trust, and a head start in the race toward circularity.

HOW KANSAS STATE CREATED A SPECIAL EDITION LOGO FOR THEIR SPECIAL GAME IN IRELAND https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/kansas-state-3d-silicone-logos/ https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/kansas-state-3d-silicone-logos/#comments Thu, 28 Aug 2025 15:12:31 +0000 PERFORMANCE SPECIAL FABRICS CARLOTTA FOOTBALL 3D SILICONE https://www.dekographics.com/success-stories/kansas-state-3d-silicone-logos/ Weiterlesen

]]>
When Kansas State University prepared for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, they faced a challenge many clubs will recognise: how do you create apparel that goes beyond simple branding and truly tells a story?

This wasn’t just another game. It was an international event celebrating Irish heritage, connecting the states of Kansas and Iowa with their shared cultural roots. For such a special occasion, the team wanted their pre-match quarter zip sweaters to become more than functional garments – they had to be symbolic, premium, and memorable.

THE CHALLENGE

Kansas State University Football x dekoGraphics Success Story

The request from Kansas State was clear: they wanted their logos to be turned into special edition heat transfers that would capture the Irish connection of the game, while also meeting the standards of high-performance sports apparel.

The challenge lay in balancing three key demands:

  • taking the existing commemorative logo and making sure its symbolism translated into a physical heat transfer,
  • achieving a premium, tactile finish worthy of such a special occasion,
  • ensuring a durable production method that would perform on high-quality sports apparel

It’s a situation many clubs face when preparing for milestone matches or international showcases: standard logos aren’t enough – apparel must capture the moment.

THE SOLUTION

To meet these requirements, dekoGraphics developed two bespoke embellishments that brought together innovative heat transfer technology and cultural storytelling.

Kansas State University Football x dekoGraphics 3D SILICONE left chest Heat Transfer

On the left chest, the Irish Willie logo was produced using our 3D SILICONE process. This technique delivers a striking raised effect with sharp-edged finishings, giving the design both depth and presence. Known for its durability, 3D SILICONE is widely used in performance apparel – and with a special DWR adhesive option, it can even be applied to water-repellent fabrics without losing strength. For Kansas State, it offered the perfect mix of premium look and long-lasting performance.

Kansas State University Football x dekoGraphics 3D SILICONE

On the sleeve, Kansas State needed the Aer Lingus sponsor logo to stand out clearly on the quarter zip sweaters. A standard silicone application would not have provided enough contrast between the lettering and the base.

To solve this, we used 3D SILICONE X TATAMI – a combination of silicone printed on a high-quality Tatami fabric base. This technique created a textured surface that made the background more visible and gave the lettering an even stronger presence. The result was a premium, tactile effect that elevated the sponsor logo into a true design element.

Together, these two embellishments transformed the quarter zip sweaters into something much more than sportswear: they became a symbol of heritage, identity, and innovation.

THE RESULT

Kansas State University Football x dekoGraphics 3D SILICONE X TATAMI

The final garments successfully captured the spirit of the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. Kansas State’s players and staff wore apparel that was not only functional but also celebrated the Irish roots of the event. The logos gave the sweaters a premium, commemorative quality, making them a lasting reminder of the occasion.

For dekoGraphics, this collaboration marked an important milestone: our first-ever NCAA American Football project. It opened the door to a new sports market while proving once again how heat transfer logos can add meaning and storytelling to team apparel.

What other clubs can learn

Kansas State University Football x dekoGraphics 3D SILICONE Heat Transfer

The Aer Lingus project highlights a challenge that many clubs encounter: when it comes to special occasions, standard branding is rarely enough. Apparel needs to become part of the story.

From this project, other clubs can take away three key insights:

Commemorative design matters – a logo can be more than decoration, it can embody heritage, milestones, or cultural ties.

Technology drives quality3D SILICONE delivers sharp, raised effects and durability, while 3D SILICONE X TATAMI creates a distinctive tactile finish by blending materials.

Apparel can inspire connection – when garments reflect meaning, they resonate with players, staff, and fans on a deeper level.

Takeaway: Whether it’s an international match, an anniversary, or a cultural celebration, premium heat transfer solutions can transform teamwear into a storytelling medium – just as Kansas State achieved in Dublin.

When you receive THE BOX from dekoGraphics, you're not just getting a sample kit – you're unlocking a world of creative possibilities. But what happens when none of the standard techniques feel exactly right for your vision?

That’s exactly what happened with Equiline – a premium Italian brand known worldwide for its high-performance equestrian equipment. Their collections stand for elegance, function, and unmistakable quality. Every detail counts. And that includes the logo.

THE CHALLENGE

Equiline had a clear goal: create a new heat transfer logo for one of their upcoming collections. It needed to reflect their premium brand identity, stand out on technical fabrics, and withstand the demands of equestrian sports.

Equiline was inspired by THE BOX, impressed by the diversity of finishes and textures. But they were torn – two different techniques stood out, each offering unique benefits:

Success Story Equiline x dekoGraphics Heat Transfer 5
  • One delivered the dimensional impact of a 3D film.
  • The other offered a brushed finish with a perforated design that perfectly matched the brand’s sophisticated and technical aesthetic.

Instead of choosing just one, the idea came up: “Can we combine them?”

THE SOLUTION

Success Story Equiline x dekoGraphics Heat Transfer

With deep technical knowledge and years of experience, our heat transfer technicians analysed the design requirements and the functional needs of Equiline’s technical equestrian gear.

Success Story Equiline x dekoGraphics Heat Transfer 2

Together, we looked deeper:

  • Where would the logo be placed? On high-impact areas like the lower corner of a saddle pad and the outer surface of a fly bonnet – locations where the logo must stand out and stay in place through motion and use.
  • What were the fabric properties? Technical textiles with water-repellent finishes, light stretch, and structured surfaces – typical of high-performance equestrian gear.
  • What should the logo stand for? A sense of premium, precision, and sporty elegance – in line with Equiline’s brand DNA.

That’s when our technicians proposed a unique solution: combine both techniques into a custom hybrid solution that had never been done quite like this before:

Success Story Equiline x dekoGraphics Heat Transfer 6
  • A 3D film base for tactile depth and structure.
  • A brushed metallic surface for an elegant, reflective finish.
  • A perforated pattern to create visual interest.


The Process: Sample, Test, Refine

We moved into pre-production sampling and testing:

  • Equiline sent us their original fabric for in-house testing.
  • We applied the logo under various heat press conditions.
  • The transfer was subjected to washing, stretching, and environmental testing.
  • Adjustments were made to optimise the balance between adhesion, texture, and visual appearance.

Every detail was refined until it met Equiline’s standards – and ours.

THE RESULT

Success Story Equiline x dekoGraphics Heat Transfer 4

The new logo was tailored to Equiline’s technical fabrics and tested thoroughly for performance. It passed all in-house quality checks, including washing durability and stretch performance.

More importantly: Equiline was thrilled. Their new logo is more than just branding – it’s a design statement that reflects their premium positioning in the equestrian market.

Your Logo Could Be Next

If you’re exploring THE BOX right now and wondering what’s possible – don’t limit yourself. Our team doesn’t just help you choose from existing samples. We help you create something entirely new if that’s what your project needs.

Let’s turn your inspiration into a logo that’s uniquely yours.

SUCCESS STORY: A.S. VELASCA - CREATING TRULY EXCLUSIVE JERSEYS


A.S. Velasca is not a typical football club—it stands at the crossroads of sports and art. Each season, the club collaborates with an artist to design a unique jersey that represents their creative vision. Every season’s jersey is a canvas for creative expression.

MIR® as a Distinctive Signature

Over the years, A.S. Velasca has worked closely with us to develop unique, high-quality jersey designs that reflect the club’s artistic identity. From the very beginning, one element has remained constant: the MIR® (Multi Image Reflective) label.

Authenticity and Exclusivity from Day One

This exclusive branding solution has been used on every A.S. Velasca jersey since the start of the collaboration, making it a signature feature that represents authenticity, exclusivity, and artistic vision. As the club evolved, so did the role of MIR®, transforming from a premium design element into a key identifier of A.S. Velasca’s limited-edition jerseys.

A Jersey That Feels Like a Work of Art

A.S. Velasca x dekoGraphics

THE CHALLENGE

A.S. Velasca wanted to do more than just release a new design every year. They needed a way to:

  • Highlight the exclusivity of each jersey and make it clear that they are part of a limited edition.
  • Ensure that players’ and fans’ jerseys feel equally special, reinforcing the club’s identity.
  • Incorporate a premium design element that aligns with their artistic approach while maintaining a consistent mark of authenticity.

The challenge was to find a high-quality, innovative solution that could visually communicate exclusivity and make each jersey a true collector’s item.

THE SOLUTION

AS VELASCA MIR Heat Transfer Logo by dekoGraphics

To solve this challenge, we proposed our MIR® (Multi Image Reflective) technology—a premium heat transfer that makes every jersey unique.

MIR® adds exclusivity and authenticity in three key ways:

  • Limited-Edition Numbering: Every jersey features individual numbering inside the MIR® label, making it clear that each one is part of a limited production run. Fans don’t just buy a jersey—they own one of a select few.
  • Artist’s Signature Integration: Since each jersey is designed by an artist, their signature can be embedded into the MIR® label, reinforcing the connection between football and art.
  • Consistent Marking for Players & Fans: The same MIR® design is used on both the players’ jerseys and the numbered versions available to supporters, ensuring that every official jersey carries the same mark of authenticity and exclusivity.
AS VELASCA MIR Heat Transfer Label by dekoGraphics

THE RESULT

A.S. Velasca dekoGraphics

With the help of our MIR® technology, A.S. Velasca has created a truly unique identity, ensuring that each jersey is not only visually striking but also a numbered collector’s item that carries real value for both players and fans.

A Unique Identity

The combination of numbering and artist’s signature makes each jersey a one-of-a-kind item, reinforcing A.S. Velasca’s reputation as a club that merges art and sport.

Stronger Fan Connection: Supporters now feel an even deeper attachment to the club, knowing that their jersey is not just merchandise, but part of a limited collection.

A New Standard for Limited Editions: A.S. Velasca has set itself apart by ensuring that every jersey tells a story, carries an artist’s mark, and is numbered as part of an exclusive series.

SUCCESS STORY | SSC NAPOLI

How We Recreated SSC Napoli’s Iconic Light Blue

Achieving the perfect colour duplication is no small feat, especially when the client provides a reference that isn’t a Pantone code but a piece of fabric. Yet, this was exactly the challenge presented to us by SSC Napoli: creating a flawless reproduction of their signature light blue to customize the third jersey, maintaining a visual connection with the home kit. Here’s how we made it happen.

THE CHALLENGE

SSC Napoli x dekoGraphics Jersey Colour Matching

SSC Napoli came to us with a specific request: for their 2024-25 third jersey, the club logo and EA7 sponsor branding needed to match exactly the light blue of the home jersey fabric. The third jersey itself, however, featured a darker anthracite base. This colour choice was made to establish a visual link between the kits: while the logos on the home jersey are applied in white, the third jersey’s blue transfers replicate the iconic colour of the home kit fabric.

Achieving Colour Accuracy Without a Pantone Code

This task was far from simple. The vibrant light blue had to be faithfully replicated as a heat transfer for customizing the third jersey. This required meticulous attention to detail to ensure the shade stayed as true as possible to the initial reference.

THE SOLUTION

SSC Napoli x dekoGraphics Colour Swatch

Napoli provided us with the home jersey fabric as a reference for the light blue colour. We passed this to our production technicians who carefully studied the sample before beginning tests to determine the perfect pigment blend. 

Testing & Precision: Finding the Perfect Match

Several 3D silicone samples were created, maintaining the same quality as the home jersey transfers, in various shades. Using spectrophotometer analysis, the ideal variant was identified. The samples were then sent to the client, allowing them to evaluate and select the tone that perfectly represented the project while preserving a consistent visual identity.

THE RESULT

SSC Napoli x dekoGraphics club logo

Napoli reviewed and approved the desired light blue sample. With their approval, we moved into full production, conducting quality checks at every stage. 

From Prototype to Final Jersey

The EA7 logo was created using 3D SILICONE quality, which, thanks to its versatility, allowed us to precisely reproduce even the smallest details. For the "N" logo, we opted for 3D MOULDED SILICONE | STD technology, enabling the creation of a transfer with a raised surface and freestanding elements.

The result? Napoli’s third jersey showcased the iconic light blue of the home kit fabric in its logos, establishing a strong visual connection between the two kits. This meticulous attention to detail ensured consistency in Napoli’s visual identity, delighting both the club and its fans, and proving once again how collaboration and expertise can bring even the most intricate and challenging design visions to life.

The goal? Transform blank kits into premium designs that reflect the team's bold identity, passion, and connection to the city of Dallas.

Together with ModestWorks, we created a series of standout embellishments that captured the essence of the club, combining innovation, craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology.

A Vision for Excellence: Dallas Trinity FC’s First Season

Dallas Trinity FC embellishments by dekoGraphics

Dallas Trinity FC’s inaugural season presented an incredible opportunity to make a statement. As a new club in the USL Super League, their branding needed to resonate with both players and fans while embodying the spirit of Dallas. ModestWorks, known for their visionary design approach, brought their creative concepts to us for execution.

THE CHALLENGE

Branding a new club is no small feat, especially when it’s their debut season in a competitive league like the USL Super League.

The challenge was twofold:

  1. Creating a standout look that honored the club's ethos while delivering a modern, professional aesthetic.
  2. Enhancing first-season blank kits with unique embellishments that balanced durability, performance, and premium design.

ModestWorks reached out to dekoGraphics with a clear goal: to elevate the team’s kits to the next level with custom heat transfer solutions.

THE SOLUTION

The left chest logo on the training shirt blends silicone and satin, featuring a matte/gloss contrast. 3D SILICONE X SATIN adds texture and a polished finish, emphasizing the club’s identity even during training sessions.

5. Shorts Logo – 3D SILICONE

Keeping functionality in mind, the shorts logo was created with thin raised 3D SILICONE, ensuring it was lightweight and comfortable for players while maintaining a premium look.

6. Merchandise Additional Wordmarks – 3D SILICONE

Throughout the kit, additional wordmarks were crafted with raised 3D SILICONE to maintain a cohesive and high-quality aesthetic across all elements. 

Innovation in Every Detail

From the standout LENTEX® | FLIP authenticity tag to the intricate 3D SILICONE X SATIN logo, every element of this project showcases the power of innovative embellishment techniques. These designs not only bring Dallas Trinity FC’s kits to life but also set them apart as a club with a modern and forward-thinking approach to branding.

THE RESULT

The final result is a collection of kits that go beyond functionality—they’re a representation of Dallas Trinity FC’s identity and ambition. Together with ModestWorks, we’ve helped establish a visual language that players and fans can take pride in.

Robert Milam from ModestWorks sums it up perfectly: "Thanks for all your help in making the kit a special one!". Both ModestWorks and Dallas Trinity FC are thrilled with how the embellishments enhance the club’s professionalism and appeal.

SUCCESS STORY | TSG 1899 HOFFENHEIM

A Halloween Highlight for Fans

Just in time for October’s Halloween vibes, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim approached us with a unique jersey idea: glow-in-the-dark numbers. This special effect, paired with a matching design, aimed to capture the Halloween theme in an exceptional way, delighting fans and collectors alike.

THE CHALLENGE

TSG Hoffenheim wanted to add a Halloween-inspired touch to their jerseys by making the numbers glow in the dark. The challenge was to develop digits that perfectly embodied the Halloween spirit while ensuring they emitted a captivating glow in low-light conditions.

We chose our ECOBLOCK BLACK I GLOW IN THE DARK transfers for this project. These transfers absorb light and emit a glow in the dark—a feature that excited both fans and collectors.


Special Design for a Halloween Experience

The design was tailored for Halloween, with letters appearing as if they were melting or dripping, reminiscent of wax or slime. The numbers, styled similarly, featured spider webs, enhancing the Halloween vibe. These elements added flair in daylight, while an atmospheric glow emerged in the dark.

SUCCESS STORY | LE COQ SPORTIF

Innovative Logo Realization for Le Coq Sportif at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games

Le Coq Sportif, premium partner of the French Olympic and Paralympic teams for the 2024 Paris Games, , approached us to create unique logos for parts of their competition and village outfit.

THE CHALLENGE

The flagship feature of the official Le Coq Sportif collection for the French team is the "Gradience" effect: From the fusion of blue, white, and red, a new palette of vibrant and modern colours is born. With this collection, Le Coq Sportif symbolizes diversity and celebrates the coming together of sports, athletes, and cultures.

Le Coq Sportif x dekoGraphics Lenticular Heat Transfers

Le Coq Sportif’s design team faced the challenge of achieving this uniform colour gradient across all patterns and disciplines. The gradient needed to be perfect for different textiles worn by the athletes in multiple sports.

THE SOLUTION

Le Coq Sportif x dekoGraphics Lenticular Heat Transfers 10

Our team worked closely with Le Coq Sportif, testing various patterns and designs. We introduced our LENTEX® product, specifically LENTEX® | RAINBOW from the 3D LENTICULAR series. This advanced technology uses special lenses to create an impressive depth illusion.

Dynamic and Visual Impact of LENTEX® | RAINBOW

The designs change with the viewing angle, giving the textiles a fascinating dynamism. This allowed us to achieve the desired gradient effect and give the logos a unique visual touch.

Key benefits of LENTEX® | RAINBOW

  • Vivid colour shifts: Multi-coloured elements that change dynamically.
  • Depth effect: Creates an illusion of depth, adding visual interest.
  • Durability: Withstands the demands of athletic wear.
  • Customization: Flexible design options to meet specific requirements.

Development Process

Le Coq Sportif x dekoGraphics Lenticular Heat Transfers 3

We tested various patterns and made adjustments over several iterations to ensure the final product met the high standards of the Olympic collection by Le Coq Sportif. We examined different prototypes to achieve the perfect balance of colour, depth, and durability.

Detail Work and Refinement

Our teams worked tirelessly on every detail to ensure the logos were not only aesthetically pleasing but also robust enough for athletic use. We experimented with different materials and techniques, refining our approach based on feedback from the Le Coq Sportif design team. This process involved thoroughly testing how the logos looked on different fabrics and under various lighting conditions to ensure they looked excellent from all angles.

THE RESULT

Le Coq Sportif x dekoGraphics Lenticular Heat Transfers 2

Our collaboration resulted in striking and dynamic logos that perfectly capture the spirit and vibrancy of the official Le Coq Sportif collection for the French team at the Paris 2024 Games for some matches in different sports where the LENTEX® | RAINBOW logo appeared. The designs were highly appreciated and enhanced the appeal of Le Coq Sportif’s apparel. This success story showcases our technical expertise and our valuable partnership with Le Coq Sportif.

Innovative Partnership between dekoGraphics and Ezeta for OstiaMare

In a creative and exciting project, we worked closely with Ezeta, a brand born from a deep passion for jersey design and the desire to turn creative ideas into reality. 

Fresh Approach to the World of Football Jerseys

As a "creative brand," Ezeta brings a fresh approach to the world of football jerseys, setting out to make every football jersey unique.

THE CHALLENGE

For the football club OstiaMare, Ezeta designed jerseys that not only look great but also reflect the rich culture and history of the region.

The New Club Logo

ezeta x ostimare x dekoGraphics Heat Transfer creative football jerseys 6

Redesigned in collaboration with the famous designer Dan K Norris, the new club logo features a seagull in flight cutting through a circle, elegantly embedding the full name of the club, "OstiaMare Lido Calcio 1945." This redesign gives the logo a modern and dynamic character.

The challenge for us was to implement the club logos in a way that they appear modern and are perfectly matched in colour to the four different jerseys:

  • Home and Away Jerseys: Inspired by the mosaic of Bacchus and Ariadne in the Archaeological Park of Ostia Antica.
  • Third and Fourth Kit: Inspired by the iconic representations in the inner cloister of the palace of the X District of Ostia.

THE SOLUTION

It was clear to us that the 3D MOULDED SILICONE technique was perfect for implementation. This heat transfer technique allows for the perfect representation of the fine details of the club logo and exact colour matching.

ezeta x ostimare x dekoGraphics Heat Transfer creative football jerseysAdvantages of the 3D MOULDED SILICONE Technique

  • Precise Detail Reproduction: The injection molding technique can display very accurate and complex shapes. This is ideal for logos that contain delicate lines or small graphic elements.
  • Variable Height: This technique allows for variable heights within the logo, leading to visual depth and texture.
  • Durability and Longevity: 3D SILICONE is extremely resistant to wear, ensuring the logo remains intact even after many uses and washes.

Further Implemented Logos

In addition to the club logos, we have incorporated other key elements into the OstiaMare jerseys. These not only add visual depth but also ensure the authenticity of each jersey:

Ezeta Logo and Lidensi Neck Label

Our 3D SILICONE logos with raised effects and defined edges give the silicone labels visual depth and an impressive feel.

Authentic Label

The 3D SILICONE | MULTILEVEL label combines various silicone layers to perfectly represent the structures and levels of the design and guarantee the authenticity of each jersey.

THE RESULT

The final jerseys from OstiaMare are a true masterpiece, combining creative vision with innovative heat transfer technology. These jerseys not only capture the rich history and culture of the region but also express the sporting spirit of the club. They are more than just jerseys: they are a symbol of pride, shining on the field and cherished by fans.

SUCCESS STORY | PLANET NUSA

HOW OUR HEAT TRANSFERS GUARANTEE ELASTICITY AND NIGHT SAFETY FOR ACTIVE SPORTSWEAR

Planet Nusa, a company that produces sustainable sportswear, faced the challenge of developing a new collection of active sportswear, including leggings, shirts, underwear, tops, sports bras and sports long sleeves. These garments needed to be not only functional and comfortable but also meet high standards of sustainability and safety.

THE CHALLENGE

Success Story Planet Nusa x dekoGraphics heat transfers for active sportswear 1

The active sportswear needed to be extremely elastic to provide a perfect fit and maximum freedom of movement, and made from breathable materials to quickly wick away moisture.

The properties of the active sportswear:

  • Elasticity and Durability: The garments are made of recycled polyamide, nylon and elastane, ensuring high elasticity and durability. This provides maximum freedom of movement during strength training, cross-training, and other athletic activities.
  • Breathability and Moisture Management: Polyamide and elastane are ideal for wicking away sweat during cardio training or running and keeping the body dry. The materials ensure that the active sportswear remains breathable even during intense workouts.

Ensuring Nighttime Safety with Reflective Elements

Success Story Planet Nusa x dekoGraphics heat transfers for active sportswear 2

Another important aspect was to ensure safety in the dark through reflective elements to make the wearers highly visible. After Planet Nusa provided us with the textiles for internal tests, the materials were tested in internal application and washing tests to find the best solution for the logos.

THE SOLUTION

Our transfers should not compromise the properties of the active sportswear but rather support their functionality. We focused on selecting heat transfers from our extensive product portfolio that meet these requirements and ensure visibility in low-light conditions.

Success Story Planet Nusa x dekoGraphics heat transfers for active sportswear

The Benefits of RFX ECOFILM PU for Enhanced Night Visibility and Stretchability

We selected the flat, reflective RFX ECOFILM PU for its superior visibility and reflection at night. This high-reflectivity film is ideal for stretchy materials like polyamide and elastane. Here are the key features of our solution:

  1. Elasticity and Durability: Our heat transfers are designed to adapt to the stretch of the active sportswear and return to their original shape after stretching. This ensures that the transfers remain in their original form even during intense athletic activities.
  2. Visibility at Night: To increase the safety of the wearers, we integrated reflective materials into the transfers. These ensure that the logos are highly visible in the dark, which is especially important when jogging or cycling in the early morning or late evening hours.
  3. Eco-Friendly Materials: In line with Planet Nusa's sustainable philosophy, we used eco-friendly materials for our transfers. This supports Planet Nusa's commitment to sustainable production and helps reduce environmental impact.

THE RESULT

Success Story Planet Nusa x dekoGraphics heat transfers for active sportswear 4

The result of our collaboration with Planet Nusa is a collection of active sportswear that meets the highest standards. The wearers benefit from a perfect fit, high elasticity, and added safety through the reflective logos.

A Complete Success: Enthusiasm Among Athletes and Customers

The positive feedback confirms the success of this solution. Athletes appreciate the combination of functionality and comfort, while customers praise the sustainable and safe aspects of the clothing. This success story demonstrates how the collaboration between Planet Nusa and dekoGraphics can create high-quality sportswear that excels in every respect.

SUCCESS STORY | VIKING FK

HOW A FOOTBALL JERSEY DESIGN IS CREATED: FROM THE INITIAL DRAFT TO THE FINISHED JERSEY

In a region defined by its breathtaking natural landscapes, the Norwegian football club Viking FK faced the challenge of designing a new jersey that was not only functional but also a tribute to their cultural identity and connection to their homeland.

More Than Just Logos: Development of a Unique Jersey Design

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge for us at dekoGraphics was not just to produce high-quality and innovative heat transfer logos for the jersey but to work closely with the club to develop a comprehensive jersey design. Our goal was to create a design that captured both the elements of nature and the region's rich stories, bringing them to life on the playing field.

Consultation with Added Value: From Technical Support to Creative Implementation

Viking FK dekoGraphics Jersey Desgin

In this process, we provided not only technical advice but actively incorporated our creative visions into the design process, ensuring that the final product was both aesthetically pleasing and symbolically profound.

THE SOLUTION

dekoGraphics played a central role in the design of the new jerseys for Viking FK. Our designers began the process with comprehensive research to understand the unique aspects of the regional nature and culture and integrate these into the design.

SUCCESS STORY | AMADEE-24 MARS SIMULATION

HOW TO EMBELLISH HIGHLY ELASTIC FABRICS WITH HEAT TRANSFERS

Together with our partner Born GmbH, we have embellished training suits for EasyMotionSkin as part of a special mission called AMADEE-24.

AMADEE-24 MARS SIMULATION

AMADEE 24 dekoGraphics EasyMotionSkin Success Story

The AMADEE-24 is a Mars analog simulation, controlled by the Austrian Space Forum in collaboration with the Armenia Aerospace Agency. In this mission, scientists simulate life on Mars in Armenia and astronauts wear training suits tailored for this unique expedition.

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge was to apply the EasyMotionSkin logo, along with flags and nameplates of participating astronauts on these suits, as well as to implement the logo of the AMADEE-24 mission. But here's the tricky part: the knitted materials, designed for extreme flexibility and breathability, made finding a suitable heat transfer solution challenging.

Born GmbH x dekoGraphics 3D SILICONE heat transfer logo AMADEE 24 Mars Mission 1

The central question was: "How can we embellish these highly stretchable trainings suits using heat transfers?" This challenge formed the starting point of our work.

THE SOLUTION

As the trainings suits arrived for material testing, our journey began. We analyzed the 100% polyamide material and embarked on a series of tests to find the most effective heat transfer solution, one that also meets the specific requirements of the testing laboratory.

Testing FLAT PU Heat Transfer: Uncovering Challenges

Born GmbH x dekoGraphics 3D SILICONE heat transfer logo AMADEE 2024 Mars Mission

We experimented with using a FLAT PU heat transfer to apply the EasyMotionSkin logo, which consists of freestanding letters. But because the flat PU material is thin, it didn't work well. The structure of the suit material pressed through the logo, causing damage to the freestanding letters, which tore because the suits were too stretchy. So, we realized that a FLAT PU logo wouldn't work for this situation. 

Overcoming Elasticity Challenges with 3D SILICONE

Born GmbH dekoGraphics 3D SILICONE heat transfer logo AMADEE Mars Mission 2024

So, we tried a different approach. We looked into using 3D SILICONE, which is thicker and more robust. This material worked much better because it didn't let the suit fabric push through the logo.

Preserving the Integrity of the EasyMotionSkin Logo

But we still had to figure out how to keep the EasyMotionSkin logo from tearing. One idea was to backing the freestanding parts of the logo to make them stronger. We also matched the background colour exactly to the suit colour, so the logo still looks the same but is tougher and less likely to tear.

Born GmbH x dekoGraphics 3D SILICONE heat transfer logo AMADEE Mars Mission 2024

These intensive testing procedures enabled us to find an effective and durable solution that meets the specific requirements of the textile. After finding the right method for the logos, we used the same approach for the nameplates and flags.

External Testing for Mission-Ready Durability

We tested the suits thoroughly in-house to make sure they could handle the tough conditions of the Mars simulation. After our testing, EasyMotionSkin subjected the finished product to external tests by a certified testing institute to ensure that the suits not only meet our own standards but also withstand the high demands of activities during the AMADEE-24 mission.

Customer-Centric Excellence: Beyond Logo Delivery to Comprehensive Support

Born GmbH x dekoGraphics AMADEE 24 Mars Mission

Our goal is to make sure our customers are happy with our work. Our services go beyond heat transfer delivery – we also provide comprehensive support and testing to make sure everything is just right.

THE RESULT

The result? We've developed heat transfer logos that have transformed regular training suits into space-ready gear perfect for the AMADEE-24 mission. They're durable, they look great and they're ready for action. We're proud to have worked with Born GmbH and EasyMotionSkin to make this happen.

SUCCESS STORY | VENEZIA FC THIRD KIT 2023-24

ELEVATING METALLIC ELEGANCE

Designing Venezia FC's third jersey for the 2023-24 season presented a unique challenge — How to Create Realistic Metallic Logos & Achieve Unique Shiny Effects.

The jersey, paying homage to the gondoliers of Venice, demanded a design that not only honoured tradition but also exuded an air of elegance. The goal was clear: create a refined and precious aura that would leave a lasting impression.

THE CHALLENGE

Creating a soccer jersey with metallic accents is tricky, especially when it comes to heat transfer logos. The real challenge here was making sure the metal effect looked just right. It required a close partnership between dekoGraphics and Venezia FC. We had to understand every little detail the club wanted and work together to make it happen. 

This teamwork was key in tackling the complexity of bringing a metallic touch to Venezia FC's third jersey for the 2023-24 season.

THE SOLUTION

Our designers embraced on the challenge by exploring various options to bring the metallic touch to life. After considering different approaches, which involved a careful evaluation of suitable heat transfer techniques, they ultimately focused on intricate details — delicate diagonal stripes and shiny, undulating horizontal lines. These elements became the cornerstone of the design, adding a touch of elegance to the overall aesthetic.

PRIST® | SP EX for a Realistic Metallic Look

The decision to use PRIST® | SP EX for the club's logo was made quickly, as it stands out as the only heat transfer technique capable of delivering a realistic metallic look. PRIST® | SP EX ensured an unmatched metallic colour rendering that allowed the Venezia badge to shine gloriously on the chest.

Venezia FC metallic heat transfer logo by dekoGraphics

For the Names & Numbers, we used ECOBLOCK BLACK | MATT GLOSS IRIODIN. This quality showcased pearlescent diagonal stripes and shiny undulating horizontal lines, contributed to a sparkling and classy texture, infusing the jersey with an undeniable touch of elegance.

ECOBLOCK BLACK | MATT GLOSS IRIODIN, the same quality used for the Names & Numbers, brings an extra layer of refinement to the front of the jersey with the "CITTÀ DI VENEZIA" inscription. The letters have a pearly shine and glossy lines, it's a shimmering tribute to the history and identity of Venezia FC.

THE RESULT

The combination of these techniques achieved the desired "WOW" effect, transforming the Venezia FC third kit into a refined masterpiece. The white-blue horizontal stripes, the red collar inspired by San Marco's flag, and the metallic look of the emblem collectively form a visually stunning and classy ensemble.

SUCCESS STORY | HELLAS VERONA SPECIAL KIT 2023-24

TURNING A STANDARD JERSEY INTO A LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR'S PIECE

To celebrate 60 years of the Marcantonio Bentegodi stadium, Hellas Verona FC launched a unique and special kit, the #BENTE60DI, exclusively worn during the match against Lazio.

The Iconic Details of Hellas Verona's Limited Edition Jersey


The jersey is rich in details that represent the history of the stadium. In black and dark grey, we have the elements that make up the pattern of the t-shirt, characteristic components of the structure: curve, seats, roof and staircase of the third ring. The yellow and blue on the collar and cuffs serve as a homage to the coloured "blocks" painted by the fans. The sponsor's logo is entirely produced in black.

HELLAS VERONA FC Limited Edition Jersey in cooperation with dekoGraphics

THE CHALLENGE

The primary challenge Hellas Verona FC faced in celebrating 60 years of the Marcantonio Bentegodi stadium was the creation of a truly exclusive and limited edition 4th kit. The unique aspect of this challenge lays in the decision to produce only 787 numbered copies of the jersey, adding an extra layer of rarity and prestige to the project.

Each jersey, from 1 to 787, embodies a distinct piece of history, enhancing the collector's appeal and emphasizing the exclusivity of this remarkable edition.

THE SOLUTION

In successfully overcoming this challenge, the collaborative efforts between Hellas Verona FC and dekoGraphics played a crucial role. Together, we not only produced a visually stunning and symbolically rich football jersey but also implemented a smart heat transfer technique for numbering the limited edition jerseys.

HELLAS VERONA FC HOW LIMITED EDITION JERSEYS ARE CREATED Authentic Label dekoGraphics

The solution for the Authentic Label was found in the Multi Image Reflective (MIR) technique. This heat transfer technique incorporated a reflective base, enabling the inclusion of the #BENTE60DI logo alongside the serial number. What set this technique apart was its unique ability to interchange between two images based on different angles, adding an additional layer of exclusivity to each of the 787 jerseys.

The Authentic Label transformed into a dynamic and visually captivating element, serving as a symbol of the illustrious 60-year history of the stadium.

Enhancing The Legacy

Going beyond the Authentic Label, additional heat transfer techniques elevated the #BENTE60DI kit:

#BENTE60DI | NAMES & NUMBERS – ECOBLOCK BLACK | IRIODIN

HELLAS VERONA FC HOW LIMITED EDITION JERSEYS ARE CREATED Names And Numbers by dekoGraphics

Leveraging three decades of experience, dekoGraphics used ECOBLOCK BLACK for the Names & Numbers, known for their quality and reliability. The Iroidin finish added a distinctive touch, creating bright iridescent reflections when hit by light.

#BENTE60DI | BRAND LOGO / SPONSOR LOGO – ECOFILM PU | TRANSPARENT GLOSS

HELLAS VERONA FC HOW LIMITED EDITION JERSEYS ARE CREATED Sponsor Logo dekoGraphics

Opting for a tone-on-tone effect, a glossy finish was applied to the brand logo and sponsor logo. This not only provided an elegant appearance but also seamlessly harmonized with the overall design of the jersey.

#BENTE60DI | CLUB LOGO – ECOBLOCK BLACK | MATT GLOSS

HELLAS VERONA FC HOW LIMITED EDITION JERSEYS ARE CREATED dekoGraphics Club Logo

The team crest, which showcases two mastiffs within an ellipse mirroring the stadium's aerial view, was enhanced using ECOBLOCK BLACK | MATT GLOSS. This heat transfer technique incorporates a matte effect for the base and gloss for the details. The combination preserves the jersey's overall elegance while proudly highlighting the team's club logo.

THE RESULT

SUCCESS STORY | 1. FC UNION BERLIN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE JERSEY 2023-24

PRECISE COLOUR MATCHING

At dekoGraphics, we celebrate the incredible journey of 1. FC Union Berlin as they make their historic debut in the Champions League. Our collaboration in creating their first Champions League jersey is more than sportswear - it's an homage to their journey, identity and spirit.

Time was a critical factor right from the start. Designing a standout jersey demanded working under stringent time limits. Our experts and designers closely collaborated with the club to craft a jersey that not only met but exceeded their expectations. 

THE CHALLENGE

Our focus in this success story is on the challenge of achieving perfect colour matching between logos and the specific colours of the club's jerseys. We explain our unique approach, which goes beyond the Pantone colour system, involving a direct comparison of colours to ensure a perfect match.

Beyond Pantone: Direct Colour Comparison

The journey began with 1. FC Union Berlin handing over the blank jersey to us, initiating our colour matching process. With only the jersey available for reference, we analyzed the colours directly in comparison to our production materials as specific colour values of the jersey fabric were not provided.

THE SOLUTION

1. FC Union Berlin x dekoGraphics Champions League Jersey 2023

Here's how our expertise led to the transformation of this analysis into reality:

The CLUB LOGO came to life through 3D EMBROIDERY X TWILL.

The SPONSOR LOGO was produced in FLAT PU ECOBLOCK BLACK.

The AUTHENTIC LABEL showcased its significance with 3D SILICONE X SATIN.

The NECK LABEL left its mark with 3D SILICONE | SIDE COLOUR.

The NAMES & NUMBERS were produced in FLAT PU ECOBLOCK BLACK.

SUCCESS STORY | MEDI LEVAMED® E⁺MOTION®

HIGH-QUALITY HEAT TRANSFER LOGO FOR MEDICAL BANDAGES

We had the pleasure of collaborating with medi, a company specializing in medical aids based in Bayreuth, Germany. The project's objective was to develop a modern and innovative way of embellishing medical bandages without compromising their functionality, which is a significant challenge in the medical field.

THE CHALLENGE

Medi had specific requirements for the product to meet their high standards. 

Embellishing Medical Bandages Without Compromising Functionality

Our mission was to enhance medical bandages by ensuring that the logo could endure the stretching and movement of the bandage material, all while implementing a decoration technique in line with current trends, setting it apart from the industry's traditional use of embroidery or woven heat transfers.

medi GmbH x dekoGraphics heat transfer logos for medical bandages

THE SOLUTION

To address this project's requirements effectively, dekoGraphics worked closely with medi's technicians to develop a heat transfer logo. 

Developing a Durable and Flexible Heat Transfer Logo

Throughout the project, the collaboration was intense and there were multiple iterations of product samples and tests to ensure that the final product met the desired specifications. Our 3D SILICONE product line proved to be the best option for this project, as it met all the necessary requirements and offered additional benefits such as improved recognition value.


Testing and Iteration: Ensuring the Final Product Matches the Desired Specifications

Multiple layers of silicone with different heights combined in one 3D SILICONE | MULTILEVEL heat transfer logo enabled us to perfectly display the different structures and levels of the design. This was the key reason for choosing 3D SILICONE | MULTILEVEL, as it ensured both the aesthetic integrity of the logo and the necessary functionality of the medical bandage. 

The final product underwent testing with volunteers to prove that our development efforts were on the right track. The results showed that we had successfully created a high-quality heat transfer logo that fully satisfied the client's expectations.

medi GmbH x dekoGraphics innovative heat transfer logos for medical bandages

The 3D SILICONE heat transfer logo has now become an integral element of medi's branding and serves as an excellent example of how collaboration and creativity can lead to success in the medical industry.

THE RESULT

The Levamed® E⁺motion® Performance ankle support bandage perfectly reflects the result of our efforts, meeting all the requirements for embellishing medical bandages without compromising functionality. Our solution provides an embellishment method in line with current trends.

We are proud to have been part of this successful collaboration, which showcases the power of partnership between medi and dekoGraphics. Our long-standing partnership has enabled us to work together on innovative and exciting projects and we look forward to continuing this successful relationship in the future.

SUCCESS STORY | TOULOUSE FC THIRD KIT 2022-23

SMART JERSEY - EMBEDDED NFC CHIP IN THE CLUB CREST

THE CHALLENGE

Designed by Craft in collaboration with fashion brand Visionnaire, the Toulouse Football Club 2022-2023 Third Jersey is a stylish jersey with a vibrant graphic pattern in shades of purple on the front.

At dekoGraphics, we believe that smart technology can create new opportunities for sports teams and fans to connect and share. That's why we were thrilled when the club approached us to produce the club logo with an embedded NFC chip, which allows fans to connect with the club and access exclusive content via their smartphones.

Soccer clubs struggle to stay in touch with fans in the digital age

We've found that many soccer clubs struggle to build and maintain close relationships with their fans, especially in the digital age. Fans want more than just a great match experience, they want to feel like they are part of the club culture and community.

THE SOLUTION

Based on this research, we developed a customized presentation that highlighted FC Toulouse's specific challenges and how our solution could help overcome them. We proposed using our 3D SILICONE | MOULDED NFC - heat transfer process to develop the logo. The advanced molding process enables the execution of a club logo as a heat transfer with impressive 3D elements, defined sharp edges and detailed colors.

A desirable high-tech soccer shirt with a smart club logo

During production, an NFC chip programmed with the customer's URL is integrated into the club logo. By scanning the applied logo with their smartphone, fans gain direct access to the respective website.

Connecting fans with the club: Exclusive content available via smartphone scanner

The result is an advanced and interactive club logo that combines premium product quality with smart technology, offering fans easy access to connect directly with the club through the most emotional logo on the jersey.

New technology improves fan engagement and generates valuable data for clubs

3D SILICONE | MOULDED NFC technology creates a new level of interactivity and engagement between fans and the club, generating valuable data for the club's marketing and sponsorship activities.

THE RESULT

Craft has been a leader in the development of innovative and high-quality sportswear for many years, and this collaboration with FC Toulouse is no exception. The attention to detail in the design of the jersey is impressive, and the use of our 3D SILICONE | MOULDED NFC technology in the production of the club logo has helped create an impressive and highly desirable soccer jersey.

The release of the jersey has caused quite a stir on social media, and it's likely that it will become a prized possession for those lucky enough to snag one.

SUCCESS STORY | AS ROMA THIRD KIT 2022-23

THE NEXT LEVEL OF TEXTILE EMBELLISHMENT WITH A LENTICULAR HEAT TRANSFER

THE CHALLENGE

AS Roma and sponsor New Balance launch a special third kit. It will be worn in the 2022-23 Serie A. The AS Roma´s journey from neoclassicism to modernism should be reflected in the football jersey, combined in a premium product with a unique look, predominantly black with a pink & anthracite design pattern on the front and sleeves.

The big challenge: We were asked by New Balance for something outstanding in respect of the execution of the AS Roma club logo. 

Advancing textile embellishment for professional football clubs

This decision resulted in a close cooperation between New Balance and us which has not only led to an intensive design-finding process, where dozens of designs were revised, corrected and discarded, but also to levelling up the art of future textile embellishment for professional football clubs.

The next level of textile embellishment

Our task: To transform the AS Roma club logo into a high-quality heat transfer that turns the jersey into a high-spec desirable collector's item.

AS ROMA LENTEX FLIP dekoGraphics Shape Shifting Club Crest

THE SOLUTION

Despite the large selection of possible product qualities at our disposal for teamwear embellishment, the decision was made quickly. To come up with something unique, it was clear from the start that our LENTEX® heat transfer is the right product for a massive impact.

LENTEX® - The shape shifting club crest

The most interesting aspect of the New Balance AS Roma 22-23 third kit is the fact that the club logo changes its shape depending on the angle.

This is the first time a professional football club is using a shape shifting club crest based on the famous lenticular printing technique as a club badge.

The advantage of a lenticular heat transfer

The virtuality journey continues to evolve, where previously, classic lenticular technology was only compatible and limited to rigid plastics, our developers have revolutionised the process and created a flexible heat transfer alternative.

The outcome provides incredible eye-catching illusions providing a unique feature for any garment.

LENTICULAR AS ROMA HEAT TRANSFER LENTEX FLIP by dekoGraphics

Our LENTEX® | FLIP technology can merge two (or even more) images into a flip-image, whereby every single picture becomes visible by changing the perspective or slightly moving the transfer on your garment. 

In fact, the AS Roma club crest consists of two logos: one being the club initials ASR within a circular shape, while the regular shield is visible upon closer inspection.

All magic - or not?

The mystique lies within the lenses that magically filter the primary elements of an image or a picture depending on the angle of view. This innovative technology with its new design possibilities is generating a lot of excitement with AS Roma fans around the world.

THE RESULT

The AS Roma / New Balance third kit is a revolutionary success. We all have succeeded in designing an outstanding jersey that opens a completely new design era to emphasise your ideas for garment embellishment.

Win-win-win situation

Everyone involved benefits from such collaborations. Not only the club, but of course also New Balance as supplier and ourselves, who were allowed to contribute our part to the success of this wonderful jersey. But in the end, it´s always about the fans. They support the club and it´s worth the effort to produce such a high-quality jersey for them. We see great potential for the execution of club crests in the lenticular technique. 

LENTEX® club crests are state of the art embellishments. Let us inspire you with a selection of our garment enhancing applications, please feel free get in touch with any questions.
