STAHLS’, a global leader in heat printing and apparel decoration technologies is expanding access to a unique decorating tech it calls LIQUID 3D. The patent-pending 3D dimensional emblem technology was originally available through STAHLS’ Fulfill Engine and is now accessible for more decorators ready to unlock new headwear opportunities.
Unlike traditional rubber patches or raised ink effects, LIQUID 3D uses a proprietary textile-based fabrication process that integrates high-definition printing with advanced adhesive technology. The result is a premium emblem that is bold, durable, and distinctly dimensional.
Premium Dimensional Branding of Custom Decorated Apparel
“This technology changed the headwear market the moment we introduced it,” said Josh Ellsworth, STAHLS’ Chief Revenue Officer. “Now, by making LIQUID 3D available directly through stahls.com, we’re putting premium dimensional branding into the hands of every decorator. Whether you apply in-house or leverage Fulfill Engine, the opportunity to sell higher-margin, standout products is more accessible than ever.”
Per STAHLS’, LIQUID 3D “transforms logos into bold, raised, high-definition emblems that deliver unmatched depth, clarity and texture, without any minimums or setup fees. With less restrictions and greater speed to order, businesses can offer premium custom client samples for a more personalized selling experience.”
To order, decorators simply upload a piece of vector artwork into the company’s intuitive online builder on stahls.com/liquid-3d, add texture and elevation to fully customize the finish, and receive pricing instantly. Base price starts at $5 each, with exact pricing determined after artwork is uploaded.
Pairs with Hotronix 360 IQ Hat Press
According to STAHLS’, LIQUID 3D is designed to pair with the company’s Hotronix 360 IQ Hat Press and the Quick Snap Platen Cover, ensuring proper pressure distribution and consistent dimensional results. This combination delivers precise, premium application for retail ready finishes. For more information or order LIQUID 3D emblems, go to stahls.com/liquid-3d.
