International Coatings Takes Home “Design of the Year” at 2025 III Awards

The custom‑decorating world moves fast—today’s breakthrough is tomorrow’s baseline. That’s why Impressions magazine created its Industry Impact (III) Awards: to highlight the products, technologies, and processes pushing decorated apparel into bold new territory.

At the 2025 III Awards ceremony—announced July 1—International Coatings earned the top honor in the “Design of the Year” category. This accolade recognizes not only outstanding creativity in ink formulation and color performance, but also a genuine step‑change in what decorators can achieve on press.

Why “Design of the Year” matters
Inks and coatings aren’t commodities—they’re the tools that unlock new textures, finishes, and effects, transforming blank garments into wearable art. By winning “Design of the Year,” International Coatings proves that innovation in chemistry delivers real business advantage: faster flash times, richer pigments, and rock‑solid consistency that delights end customers and streamlines production.

What set International Coatings apart

• Next‑level opacity & brightness – Whites that pop on dark fabrics, and colors that stay true, wash after wash.

• Ultra‑smooth hand feel – Prints look incredible without sacrificing softness.

• Eco‑minded formulation – Low‑VOC, phthalate‑free ingredients show that performance and sustainability can go hand in hand.

According to Adam Cort’s July 1 coverage in Impressions, the III Awards jury was impressed by how International Coatings balanced technical advancement with decorator‑friendly usability. In an arena where speed, quality, and sustainability often compete, this new ink line hit a genuine sweet spot.
