Stahls’ (asi/88984), the St. Clair Shores, MI-based supplier of heat-printing technology and heat transfers, has launched Flexbroidery, a heat-applied solution for a full-color direct embroidered finish, without the need for sewing.

Stahls’ (asi/88984) Flexbroidery is heat-applied and requires no sewing.

Flexbroidery eliminates the complexity of traditional embroidery, featuring fast and easy heat application that streamlines production and boosts output, according to Stahls’.

An alternative to authentic embroidery, Flexbroidery can help overcome limitations of conventional stitching, such as delicate fabrics, difficult placements and digitizing needs, Stahls’ said. An addition to the trending dimensional emblem and patch offering, Flexbroidery can be ordered as heat-applied transfers for apparel, bags, hats, outerwear and accessories. Pressure-sensitive adhesive is also available for tumblers, mugs, water bottles and other hard goods.

Ninja Transfers Launches 30-Foot Gang Sheet

Philadelphia-based Ninja Transfers (asi/73060) has introduced 30-foot gang sheets, which the company said enhances efficiency and flexibility in direct-to-film (DTF) production.

Gang sheets have long been a preferred method for decorators and distributors looking to maximize transfer output by combining multiple designs onto a single sheet. Ninja Transfers said the 30-foot gang sheet dramatically expands the possibilities for its customers, allowing them to save time, save money per square inch, produce larger quantities of designs, reduce material waste and streamline their ordering and production process.

“Ninja Transfers has always tried to make it easier for our DTF customers, especially within the custom industry,” said Victor Ilisco, director of business development at Ninja Transfers. “By offering 30-foot gang sheets, we’re giving our customers quite a few small benefits that add up in their process and profits.”
