What is HXD?

HXD is a cutting-edge decoration method that applies a raised, silicone-like 3D graphic onto apparel. Unlike flat printing or embroidery, HXD adds depth, texture, and a tactile element that instantly elevates the look of a garment.

It’s an ideal choice for brands looking to make logos stand out in a bold, high-impact way.

How HXD Works

Your design is created as a 3D mold, which is then heat-applied to the garment. The application bonds securely to the fabric, creating a permanent decoration that feels both modern and premium.

Because it uses molds, HXD can be produced in a variety of finishes, including gloss, matte, metallic, and textured looks.

HXD for Apparel

HXD is designed specifically for apparel and works best on performance fabrics, outerwear, and structured garments where its raised, dimensional effect can really shine. It’s often used on:

  • Jackets and vests
  • Athletic and team apparel
  • Corporate wear and uniforms
  • Premium giveaways and limited-edition items

Why Choose HXD for Apparel?

  • Unique 3D appearance – creates dimension and depth that flat methods can’t match.
  • Bold, high-impact look – ensures logos and graphics truly stand out.
  • Multiple textures and finish options – matte, gloss, metallic, or custom textures for a fully branded effect.

Considerations Before Choosing HXD

Because it requires a mold, HXD is best for simple logos and bold shapes rather than fine details. It’s also limited to apparel applications and not suited for hard goods. For large, detailed, or full-color artwork, digital transfers or sublimation may be a better fit.

TLDR

HXD is the perfect choice when your apparel calls for bold, dimensional branding with a premium edge. Its 3D look, versatile finishes, and lasting durability make it a standout option for modern merchandise. With Avail, we’ll help you design and apply HXD logos that turn everyday apparel into statement pieces.
