Industrial-Wash Resistant
Patches survive 60–90 °C industrial laundry and dry-cleaning without lifting or fading.
3D Emboss with Sharp Edges
Steel die in HF press creates crisp 3D emboss with sharp edges and rich colour.
Photographic Colour
Multi-colour HF print, Pantone matching, gradients — premium decoration in one operation.
Heat-Seal or Sew-On Backing
Heat-seal for footwear, sportswear; sew-on for traditional garment placement.
