Phygital clothing for youngsters

Imagine if your favourite hoodie didn't just look cool, but could also talk to grown-ups if you ever needed help. That is where ICE comes in!

ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. When Maltix puts this into their "phygital" clothes, it’s like giving your clothes a superpower to keep you safe.

🆘 How ICE Works in Your Clothes Inside your Maltix kit, there is a special digital tag. If you ever get lost or have a tumble while playing sport, a safe adult (like a teacher, coach, or another parent) can scan your sleeve with their phone.
It tells them exactly what to do:

• Phone Numbers: It can show your Mum or Dad’s phone number so they can be called straight away.
• Health Secrets: If you are allergic to something (like nuts or bees), the tag tells the adult so they can look after you properly.
• Fast Help: Because it’s digital, the information is always there, even if you’re too upset or tired to remember your home phone number.

🛡️ Why it’s great for Sports and Play

• The School Trip Guard: If you’re on a school trip or at a big football match with lots of people, your clothes are looking out for you.
• Tough and Waterproof: You can get as muddy or sweaty as you want! The ICE tag is tucked away safely inside the fabric, so it won’t wash off or break like a paper note in your pocket.
• Privacy: Only people with a smartphone who scan the tag can see the info—it’s not written in big letters for everyone to see, so it stays your private "safety secret."

💡 The Big Picture By mixing Phygital (the digital twin for games) with ICE (the safety helper), Maltix clothes are doing two jobs at once: they make your games more fun and keep you safe while you're out exploring the real world!
