The combination of PFC-free waterproof treatment, taped seams and UPF 50+ has a direct consequence for use: unlike a standard promotional baseball, the Bond-S is designed to resist water and sun, so it is suited to outdoor activities in variable conditions. On personalisation there is a specific strength: the front transfer area is wide (14×6 cm), the largest of the techniques, and allows large full-front logos; front stays at 12×6 cm and should be measured so as not to over-perforate the treated fabric.
Printing techniques.
A verdict for each one.
What to expect on this specific product, technique by technique.
The structured front supports full-front embroidery with a 12×6 cm area, starting 2 cm from the visor. Embroidery also on the sides 10×6 cm and on the back 8×3.5 cm; on the hook-and-loop closure a small embroidery (3×1 cm) is advised, so as not to compromise the velcro function. On the waterproof-treated fabric, embroidery should be measured so as not to over-perforate the membrane: prefer moderate stitch densities.
DTF transfer is the strength technique for large artwork on this model: the front transfer area is wide (14×6 cm), the largest, and allows full-front logos. Also applicable on the sides and back. Unlimited colours, no minimum quantity, ideal for multicolour and detailed logos. On the treated fabric, test adhesion and use a dedicated press at controlled temperature.
