What is STAHLS' CAD-CUT SportsFilm?
STAHLS' CAD-CUT SportsFilm is a thin and flexible polyurethane-based textile film that is transferred onto textiles using a heat press. The film has a self-adhesive carrier, which keeps even small letters, fine lines and detailed designs securely in place during weeding, positioning and pressing.
The self-adhesive carrier also makes it possible to reposition smaller details if they are accidentally lifted during weeding. This makes CAD-CUT SportsFilm particularly suitable for logos, names, numbers, text and complex graphic designs where precision is essential.
The carrier film is removed hot using Hot Peel immediately after pressing. This reduces waiting time between each print and ensures a fast and efficient workflow.
Two alternative application settings
CAD-CUT SportsFilm can be applied at either 130 °C for 10 seconds or 150 °C for 5 seconds. These are two alternative settings, meaning the film only needs to be pressed once. Choose the setting that best suits the textile and your production process.
For both settings, a medium pressure is recommended, corresponding to level 4–6 on a Hotronix® heat press. The carrier film is removed hot immediately after pressing.
Suitable for different textile types
STAHLS' CAD-CUT SportsFilm can be used on a wide range of textiles, making it a versatile solution for professional textile decoration. The film is suitable for:
- 100% cotton
- 100% polyester

The wide material compatibility makes SportsFilm suitable for everyday clothing, sportswear, clubwear, workwear, corporate clothing, bags and various textile products.
