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
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
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.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
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.
