Team dealers face a unique challenge in apparel decoration: personalization. For years, heat printing has been the go-to solution for applying names and numbers to jerseys. Now, with STAHLS’ official partnership with Major League Soccer (MLS), that same level of performance, durability, and consistency trusted at the highest level of play is available to shops like yours.
Advancements in heat printing technology have expanded what’s possible. With the right transfers, your heat press can handle complete jersey decoration, from team logos and premium embellishments to names and numbers, with speed, reliability, and control.
Names and Numbers
Traditionally, names and numbers have been produced using heat transfer vinyl (HTV). For contact-heavy sports, Thermo-FILM® offers exceptional durability against abrasion and wear. For stretch garments like volleyball jerseys, spandex, and athleisure, Premium Plus delivers an ultra-stretch finish with a low-temperature application that protects performance fabrics.
With STAHLS’, you no longer need to cut transfers in-house. Choose pre-cut number kits to stock individual numbers as a budget-friendly, ready-to-use option. Or streamline production with pre-spaced names and numbers, which arrive cut, weeded, and on a carrier for fast, accurate application.
Team Builder
Team Builder makes ordering names and numbers easier than ever. Entire rosters can be ordered fully laid out, with player names, numbers, and logos combined into a single transfer per jersey. This simplifies organization and keeps your workflow moving from order to application.
- One transfer per player = fewer errors
- Pre-built layouts ensure consistency
- Ideal for webstores and team orders
Each transfer is produced with UltraColor MAX™ DTF—our best-selling full-color transfer—so you can apply vibrant logos and detailed graphics with no minimums.
Premium Sports Decoration
When it’s time to elevate jerseys, spirit wear, or fan apparel, STAHLS’ offers premium decoration options that deliver both impact and efficiency:
- Chenille Patches for classic varsity and retro styles
- FlexStyle™ Emblems and PVC Patches for dimensional, durable finishes
- CAD-PRINTZ® Twill for full-color logos with an embroidered look
- Sport-Stitch® for real stitched detail applied with a heat press
These solutions allow you to offer premium, retail-ready decoration with a single piece of a equipment: your heat press.
