TPU patches have replaced PVC across most premium and export-oriented apparel categories. Their REACH compliance, soft-touch feel and industrial-wash durability make them the modern default.
⚽ Sports Clubs and Team Kit
Football, basketball, rugby and other team sports widely use 3D club crests on shirts. Industrial wash at 60 °C is mandatory and TPU survives it. Heat transfer + perimeter stitching is the standard application method. Bora Ajans regularly exports to European sports clubs.
👟 Sports Footwear
Tongue badges, side panel emblems, heel logos. TPU is preferred for its flexibility and resistance to footwear chemicals (adhesives, cleaning agents).
🧥 Technical Outerwear
Brand emblems on jackets and waterproof apparel. Ultrasonic welding maintains waterproofing. Cold-weather flexibility ensures patches do not crack at low temperatures.
🎒 Outdoor Packs and Tents
Backpack brand patches, tent maker logos, technical pack badges. UV-stable formulation for sustained outdoor exposure.
👜 Premium Fashion Accessories
Premium leather bags, wallets, belts and sunglass cases use embossed metal-look TPU patches. Gold and silver metallic-effect TPU substitutes for real metal plates.
🌍 Export and REACH Compliance
For brands exporting textile to Germany, France, the Netherlands and other EU countries, REACH regulation limits phthalate content. TPU contains no plasticisers and fully meets REACH. Bora Ajans provides material certification for export documentation.
