What Are Raised Silicone Transfers?
Raised Silicone Transfers are heat-applied decorations produced using high-grade silicone ink.
Unlike flat prints, these transfers create a raised profile that adds depth, texture, and visual authority to your branding.
As a result, logos appear sharper, more tactile, and noticeably premium on finished garments.
Additionally, the smooth rubber-like surface offers a subtle sheen that enhances visibility while remaining soft against the skin.

Our Two-Step Approval Process (Reliability First)
First, we create a digital mockup that shows size, colours, layout, and raised effect clearly.
You can request changes at this stage, and we refine the design until everything looks right.
Next, once you approve the mockup, production begins with the confirmed specifications.
This structured process dramatically reduces errors and ensures consistent, repeatable results.
Is a Raised Silicone Transfer Right for Your Design?
Raised Silicone Transfers are ideal when:
- You want a bold, tactile 3D effect
- Your branding benefits from a premium raised finish
- You need durable transfers for sportswear or workwear
- You prefer controlled colour counts for cost efficiency
However, if your artwork requires photographic detail or complex gradients, consider our DTF Transfers or Printed Badges instead.

Why Choose Raised Silicone Transfers?
Raised Silicone Transfers offer a unique combination of visual impact and practical durability that sets them apart from standard heat transfers.
Premium 3D Appearance: The raised profile creates depth and dimension that flat prints simply cannot match. Your logos and designs literally stand out from the garment surface.
Superior Tactile Quality: The smooth, rubbery silicone texture feels premium to the touch while remaining soft and comfortable against the skin — no rough edges or stiff patches.
Exceptional Durability: High-grade silicone ink bonds permanently to fabrics and withstands repeated washing, stretching, and wear without cracking or peeling.
Professional Finish: The subtle sheen and consistent raised surface give your branding a high-end appearance that elevates any garment.
Best For
Sportswear, team uniforms, workwear, fashion apparel, promotional merchandise, and any application where you want bold, tactile branding that demands attention.
Important Application Note
Please ensure you ONLY peel the transfer carrier when it has completely cooled down! Peeling while hot can damage the transfer and affect adhesion.

Can we match an existing badge or design?
Yes! All you have to do is let us know the specifications and colours by stating the Pantone references or by using our high-resolution shade cards. Alternatively, post the existing item to us and we’ll match the colours as closely as possible for you.
Can I amend my order at any time?

Once you have approved this stage you will be asked to make a non-refundable payment of £42 for setup. Once you have approved production and wish to cancel the order you will be liable for all costs incurred (such as the setup charge, postage if applicable, and the final invoice charge).

Can I see a photograph of the finished transfer before I confirm an order?
In case of transfers, they go straight to production after the mockup approval.
Can I get a sample before I fully order?
99% of our customers are happy with the digital mockup. If you want to order a sample transfer before a full order then the cost is as follows: £35 + VAT + tracked and signed postage from Brentwood UK to your destination. Please note that an actual physical sample request adds around 7 days to your final delivery. On going ahead with the order your £35 + VAT payment is adjusted against the balance payment BUT the postage is non-refundable.
What is Digital Mock-up approval?
When you place an order, we have a Digital mock-up approval process. In the digital mock-up approval step we create a computer-generated mockup to ensure that all elements in the artwork are present and correct. This will require your approval. Please ensure that each element of your bespoke transfer is correct; if not, request amendments. Amendments at this stage are free and the process will revert back to an amended mockup. Please be aware each amendment can cause a delay. Once you approve, this will trigger the production step.
