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.
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.
