Abstract: A product and process for applying thermal appliqué indicia which results in decorative and identification elements that are an alternative to direct embroidery and embroidered emblems. The thermal appliqué indicia are for decoration and identification when applied to uniforms, fashion, “basic” and performance apparel, swimwear and intimate apparel as well as other textile products. They give the appearance of a directly embroidered monogram design that remains light and very flexible with excellent home or commercial laundering, and may be single or multi-colored and contain many discreet parts that require precise registration and maintenance of special relationships on the garment or textile.
