3D Tatami Silicone Patch
OR contact us at: [email protected]
Our 3D Tatami Silicone Patch combines the elegant texture of Tatami fabric with the premium look and durability of 3D Silicone Transfers. This hybrid heat-transfer solution delivers a distinct glossy fabric pattern beneath a raised silicone surface, creating a patch that looks refined and dynamic on any garment
Tatami fabric is widely used in professional football jerseys and other sportswear applications for its clean, reflective texture and light weight. It can also be fully sublimated, allowing for intricate background designs, gradients, and branding elements before applying the silicone layer.
Once build with our 3D Silicone finish, the transfer gains all the advanced features of our silicone series, while the Tatami base adds a subtle fabric texture and visual depth.
