Abstract: A process for applying digitally printed applique” indicia which results in decorative and identification elements for decoration and identification when applied to uniforms, fashion, “basic” and performance apparel, swimwear and intimate apparel as well as other textile products, the elements being an alternative to direct embroidery, embroidered emblems, thermo-transfer films, silk screen or sublimated printing. The production process includes the following phases (FIGS. 3A-C): a design phase (1); a separation phase (2); a printing phase (3); an optional traditional embroidery phase (4); and an etching/cutting phase (5). The process can incorporate embroidered elements but has the benefit of reducing or eliminating portions of stitching and or extra applique layers in the emblem. The resulting product has superior care and durability characteristics to screen printing and heat transfers as the image is more wash fast and can be ironed.

Abstract: A method of wash-durably bonding integrated textile emblems such as patches, emblems, labels and cut textile parts to another textile article by laminating a pressure sensitive acrylic polymer adhesive to the back surface of the textile emblem. The acrylic polymer adhesive has a storage modulus that is greater than a loss modulus throughout a frequency range of from 0.1885 Hz to 628 Hz where bonding and debonding are expected to occur, and is devoid of any cross linking additives or reagents. The integrated textile emblem with laminated pressure sensitive acrylic polymer adhesive has improved adhesion to low-to-high energy surfaces, is not water soluble and is of adequate thickness to provide a wash-durable textile-to-textile bond capable of seaming or permanently attaching items such as textile panels, appliqué bearing text, numbers, logos and other indicia for the apparel, accessory and other industries.

Abstract: An appliqué emblem having a three dimensional embroidered appearance for decoration and identification when applied to uniforms, fashion, “basic” and performance apparel, swimwear, and intimate apparel, as well as other textile products. The appliqué emblem being an alternative to direct embroidery, embroidered emblems, thermo-transfer films, silk screen or sublimated printing.

Abstract: A new device, pressure sensitive adhesive system for bonding textiles and a method for producing integrated textile emblems such as patches, emblems, emblems, labels and cut textile parts including wovens, knits and nonwoven structures made of both natural and or synthetic fibers incorporating a pressure sensitive adhesive. The resulting room temperature pressure sensitive-patch eliminates tedious and cost intensive sewing operations (embroidery) and or heat-sealing operations (heat transfers) to other textile products such as apparel and or accessories, headwear, crafts home furnishings and luggage.
