Home Brandbuilding & Security Technologies & Innovations GarmenTrust™: Holograms for Textiles

The Sewable Clothing Label: GarmenTrust™

GarmenTrust™ is a sewable hologram developed and engineered by 3D AG. The unique properties of this clothing and textile label are a first in the industry. GarmenTrust™ is an encapsulated hologram that can be sewn onto any textile and apparel. Holograms as adhesive labels are used by brands in all industries, but a durable solution for holographic and sewable textile labels was missing. It took our team at 3D AG many years to find the adequate material for sewable encapsulation. The specifications of durability, transparency and flexibility are challenging to combine for a sewable clothing label. Today, GarmenTrust™ is applied worldwide in fashion, sportswear, technical apparel and for various gear.
