Embroidered-finishes

The retail scene is exploding with faux textures in 2024. Seen in retail and professional sportswear, heat printers are turning away from traditional garment decoration methods and towards the newest heat printing technology. But why?

Embroidery machines are large and expensive. Not only that, but they are noisy and they take a long time to complete their stitching and that's without taking into consideration the training needed to set up, run and maintain one. On average, most embroidered logos are made up of about 6000 stitches and takes about 10 minutes for even the highest spec of embroidery machines to complete. But what if you could achieve a photo-realistic embroidered finish in just 12 seconds?

Well you can, with UltraColour and UltraColour Max Heat Transfers.

Custom Heat Transfers

UltraColour and UltraColour Max heat transfers offer an unlimited colour palette meaning you can upload digital graphics and recieve a like-for-like realistic looking heat transfer. 

Whats the difference between UltraColour and UltraColour Max?

UltraColour is a low temperature heat transfer. It applies at 120°C making it popular for polyester garments that might scorch at higher temperatures. It's the most economical heat transfer on the market too. The price goes down, the more sheets you order. This product is a minimum order of 10 product so it's a scalable option for when your business grows or you're working on a large batch of garments.

UltraColour MAX is a DTF heat transfer. Again offering the same colour capabilities as UltraColour but this choice is much better for sampling because of it's min order of 1 policy. You can also get same day despatch when ordering by 8am, making it a great choice for last minute orders.

How can you create a textured graphic for heat transfer purposes?

We found the above fonts on Canva. With a premium subscription, these fonts are accessible for use. However, you could outsource the challenge to your graphic design department. Or if you'd prefer an authentic embroidered feel, why not scan in and digitize an existing embroidered alphabet? You only have to create each letter once to have a library you can use time and time again.
