DÉFINITION
Qu’est-ce qu’un écusson personnalisé ?
Un écusson est un élément textile personnalisé destiné à être appliqué sur un vêtement, un accessoire ou un équipement.
Il peut être fabriqué avec différentes technologies afin d’obtenir :
- Un rendu textile premium
- Une excellente tenue dans le temps
- Une finition professionnelle
Les écussons sont particulièrement appréciés pour leur aspect qualitatif et leur relief visuel.
Contrairement à un transfert DTF classique, l’écusson apporte une vraie texture au marquage textile.
L’impression DTF reste idéale pour les visuels complexes et très détaillés grâce à sa précision d’impression et sa souplesse d’utilisation.
Les écussons viennent compléter ces solutions avec une finition plus premium.

Which materials can our patches be used on?
Our custom heat-transfer patches can be applied to most textiles: cotton, polyester, blended fabrics, fleece, or denim.
For more delicate materials (leather, nylon, coated fabrics), we recommend performing a preliminary test or opting for additional stitching to ensure lasting adhesion.
Sublimated heat-transfer patches retain their hold and relief, even on soft or thick textiles.
What surfaces can our patches be used on?
