Heat Transfers

For permanent messaging and appeal, Heat Transfers provide imagery and text fused directly to fabric. Used internally, they provide touch-soft, tag-free labeling for the comfort consumers expect and appreciate. When used externally, they tell a strong and eye-catching brand story. As experts in the Heat Transfer technique, RBIS offers an array of applications and special effects that include high-definition, embroidery, and reflectivity that can stand up to tough industrial environments, the demands of industrial washing procedures, and even halo-free solutions.

Woven Labels

To emphasize quality and create elevated product differentiation, woven labels offer both luxury and standout textile effects. Woven Separated Elements and Fabric Separated Elements are no-sew woven label embellishments heat-applied to the garment exterior. Optimal for logos and any design using separate elements, there’s no need for sewing, stitching, or appliqué. Woven Labels are available in a variety of special effects, such as Dye Sublimation and Reflective. Other solutions–Woven Soft Seal with Halo Free Eco, Shuttle Loom, Woven Border Seal, and our own Component Weave Technology–allow brands to create unique designs for exceptional impact.

We offer innovative, technologically advanced graphic embellishments, as well as identification and authentication solutions to help brands achieve increased consumer purchase intent.
