What it covers

Inside this family.

Each technique below is a separate decision on a tech pack. They are grouped here because they share a process, not because they are interchangeable.

  • Glossy, matte, glitter, coloured, neon and rubberised silicone systems
  • High-density silicone in single and layered multi-colour builds
  • Engineered adhesion on water-repellent and coated fabrics
  • Frictional silicone for compression and technical garments, including grip zones
  • Compression support prints applied inside the garment at knees and ankles

Techniques

How each one behaves.

Matte Silicone

A silicone build finished without gloss, so the mark reads as a solid rubberised block of colour rather than a reflection. It suits dark performance fabric, where a shiny mark would catch every light source and pull attention away from the garment.

Gloss Silicone

The same rubberised build carrying a reflective surface. Placed beside a matte mark it gives two branding levels on one garment without adding a second colour, which is how a tonal identity stays readable.

Silicone Grip

A raised silicone pattern printed onto the areas of a garment that need to hold against another surface, such as the seat and inner leg of riding breeches. The pattern is functional first, so the artwork is drawn around the grip zone rather than the other way round.

Silicone on Elastic

Silicone printed onto elastic so the mark stretches and returns with the band instead of cracking across it. Used on waistbands where the brand name has to stay legible while the garment is worn.
