Resolute Launches Crystal Patch ─ Revolutionising Premium UV DTF Decoration with Sustainable 3D Technology
Clay Cross – UK – June 2026 – Resolute has today announced the launch of Crystal Patch, an innovative UV DTF print process designed to transform standard retail products into premium, highly tactile items.
Developed for the latest R-JET PRO DTF™ UV61-3D and UVi-3D printer range, this advanced technique introduces a light-reactive, 3D domed effect to flat graphics.
In an increasingly saturated market where standard print effects are easily replicated, the demand for distinctive, high-value decoration is a critical industry challenge.
The process uses advanced ink layering and a specialised clear coat technique to create a sculpted, crystal-like surface that catches ambient light, delivering genuine visual depth and a luxurious hand-feel.
Aligning with a forward-thinking approach to ethical and sustainable production, Crystal Patch requires no additional materials, separate doming stages, or new consumables.
Decorators already utilising faux embroidery consumables on Resolute systems can transition immediately without material changeovers, effectively minimising production waste and operational downtime.
This streamlined four-step process, from artwork preparation to final application, ensures that businesses can scale their output responsibly and profitably.
This tactile, dynamic finish is ideally suited for luxury packaging, premium branded merchandise, reusable drinkware, and fashion accessories.
This enables forward-thinking brands to differentiate themselves in competitive retail environments while championing efficient, responsible manufacturing practices that respect both the consumer and the supply chain.
