Application Versatility | Customizing apparel, accessories, and personal items | Industry: 2-3 applications (e.g., t-shirts, bags) | ▲ Base: 5 applications (nail art, shoes, bags, etc.) ▲▲ Advanced: 8+ applications (▲▲ vs Industry) (ISO 9001 certified versatility) | Base: Requires glue for non-fabric surfaces (e.g., shoes). Advanced: Slightly thicker material may limit some delicate uses. |
Material Composition | Eco-conscious projects requiring sustainability | Industry: PVC-based (non-recyclable) Base: Recycled polyester (▲) Advanced: Biodegradable resin (▲▲) (ASTM D6400 certified) | Base: 30% recycled content. Advanced: 100% compostable (▲▲ vs Industry) | Base: Slightly higher cost than PVC. Advanced: Limited availability in bulk orders. |
Decoration Type | Design-heavy projects (custom apparel, art) | Industry: Plain rhinestones Base: Motif patterns (▲) Advanced: Customizable motifs (▲▲) (ISO 2848 compliance) | Base: 20+ pre-designed motifs. Advanced: 100+ motifs + logo engraving (▲▲ vs Industry) | Base: Motifs may chip in high-impact areas. Advanced: Requires professional design tools. |
Shape Options | Projects needing varied aesthetic textures | Industry: Flat only Base: Flat/Diamond (▲) Advanced: 5+ shapes (▲▲) (ASTM F2992 verified) | Base: 2 shapes (flat/diamond). Advanced: Hexagon, oval, etc. (▲▲ vs Industry) | Base: Diamond shapes may snag on fabric. Advanced: Complex shapes increase application time. |
Application Techniques | Diverse crafting environments with varied tools | Industry: Iron-on only Base: Iron-on + glue (▲) Advanced: Iron-on, hot fix, glue (▲▲) (ASTM D3359 adhesion tested) | Base: Glue method for non-heat-safe materials. Advanced: Hot fix for permanent bonding (▲▲ vs Industry) | Base: Glue may yellow over time. Advanced: Hot fix requires specialized equipment. |
Durability | High-wear items (shoes, bags) | Industry: 50 washes Base: 100 washes (▲) Advanced: 200 washes (▲▲) (AATCC Test Method 135) | Base: Resists fading after 100 washes. Advanced: 200 washes + UV resistance (▲▲ vs Industry) | Base: May peel on rough surfaces after 80 washes. Advanced: Slightly heavier material adds bulk. |
