3D Silicone Heat Transfers

Step up your garment decoration with 3D Silicone heat transfers, a cutting-edge option that adds both dimension and durability to your designs.

Unlike traditional flat heat transfers that sit flush against the fabric, 3D Silicone transfers feature a high-build structure that creates a raised, three-dimensional effect. This not only gives your design a unique tactile texture but also adds visual depth that makes logos, graphics, and lettering pop off the garment.

Made from durable, flexible silicone, these transfers are ideal for premium streetwear, sportswear, and fashion pieces where impact and performance matter. They're soft to the touch, stretch-resistant, and maintain their shape, even after repeated washing.

Whether you're going for bold branding or subtle texture, 3D Silicone heat transfers deliver a high-end finish that sets your apparel apart.
