AquaTru® Heat Transfers for Sports

Engineered for High-Performance Sportswear

AquaTru® Heat Transfers are specifically designed for decorating today's performance apparel. Combining low-temperature application, water-based inks, superior stretch and rebound, and industry-leading dye-blocking technology, AquaTru® delivers outstanding results on the most challenging sports fabrics.

Whether you're producing professional team kits, training wear, fan apparel, or performance sportswear, AquaTru® helps decorators achieve premium-quality branding without compromising garment comfort or performance.

The Ultimate Solution for Sublimated Teamwear

Modern sports uniforms are increasingly produced using sublimation, creating lightweight, vibrant garments that can be difficult to decorate. Traditional transfers can suffer from dye migration, where sublimation dyes bleed through logos, names, and numbers over time.

AquaTru® Dye-Block technology is specifically designed to prevent dye migration, ensuring graphics remain crisp, vibrant, and professional even on heavily dyed sublimated fabrics. This makes it an ideal solution for sports clubs, team dealers, and professional apparel manufacturers.

Low Temperature Application

Many performance garments contain polyester, Lycra®, spandex, and other heat-sensitive materials that can scorch or distort under excessive heat.

AquaTru® applies at a low temperature, helping to protect delicate fabrics while delivering reliable adhesion and long-lasting durability. Decorators can confidently apply transfers to modern technical sportswear without risking garment damage.

Water-Based Inks for a Premium Feel

Unlike heavier decoration methods, AquaTru® uses lightweight water-based inks that create a soft, premium finish. The result is decoration that feels comfortable against the garment while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

Exceptional Stretch and Rebound

Athletic apparel is designed to move, and your decoration should too. AquaTru® offers excellent stretch and rebound properties, allowing graphics to flex naturally with the garment while maintaining their appearance through competition, training, and repeated washing. This makes it particularly effective on compression wear, performance jerseys, and stretch fabrics.

Colour Matching Available

For sports organisations, clubs and brands where colour consistency matters, AquaTru® can be produced with Pantone® colour matching options, helping ensure logos, branding, sponsor marks and team graphics remain consistent across every application.
