What process is used to customize the logo of the sweater? Which is more washable, printing or embroidery?

I have received too many private messages from my sister: The customized sweater logo is cracked after washing it a few times. Do you choose printing or embroidery?? Today's article explains it thoroughly. From the principle of the process to the measurement of the washable degree, you are also half an expert after reading it. At the end of the article, there is a recommendation from a hardcore manufacturer. Take a look at it first.

First understand the three mainstream ways of printing. The first is screen printing, which is like scraping the ink across the screen and pressing it on the cloth surface. The color is solid and the feel is slightly hard, which is suitable for large areas of color blocks. The second is heat transfer, the pattern is pre-printed on the transfer paper and then hot pressed on, which can do gradual changes and photo effects, but the edges and corners are easy to warp. The third is digital direct injection, which sprays ink into the fiber like a printer, which feels soft and breathable, but the dark sweater needs to be white first, and the cost is slightly higher.

Let's look at embroidery again. Machine embroidery uses sewing thread to stack the logo, which feels bumpy and delicate. But pay attention to density and stitching. If the density is too thin, the bottom cloth will be exposed, and if it is too dense, it will easily wrinkle the fabric. And embroidery is not friendly to thin sweaters, and the pinholes will be stretched and deformed. In addition, the embroidery thread is easy to hook silk on the cuffs and hem with a lot of friction. Don't ask me how I know?

The key point is, who is stronger in washable? Let's talk about the conclusion directly: it depends on what you care about. If it is better than "pattern integrity", embroidery wins. No matter how advanced the printing is, there will always be some fine cracks after 20 machine washes, especially the neckline and cuffs that are pulled a lot. If it is better than "fabric flatness", printing is more worry-free. The water-soluble film on the back of the embroidery will become hard after washing for a long time, and it will be itchy when worn close to the body.

But there is a hidden pit here: fading and shrinkage are the main reasons for the scrapping of sweaters. In order to save costs, many custom factories use low-quality dyes and ordinary cotton cloth to wash the neckline twice with ruffles. No matter how good the theme pattern is, it is useless. So the secret of true washable is - the number of gauze pieces of the base cloth should be enough (more than 280g can withstand repeated machine washing), the pattern area should not be piled too thick (screen printing ink should not be more than twice), and the embroidery adhesive should use imported hot melt film.

So how to choose? Give a universal formula?: Daily commuting models should be low-key and textured → choose embroidery + chest small label (area should not exceed 10cm ²), fine flat needle wiring is the most durable. Trendy brand models should be eye-catching and durable → choose screen printing thick version polyurethane ink, pay attention to let the printing master use high-elastic ink, and stretch without cracking. Parent-child clothing/couple models should be soft and waxy on the skin → choose digital direct injection, machine washing 30 times The color attenuation is the most gratifying.

Finally, I must praise my long-term cooperation with Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. All their customized sweaters have to go through 3 simulated machine washing tests before leaving the factory, using the roller machine of the professional washing room, not just soaking in water and rubbing it twice to fool people. Before, I made a batch of embroidered sweaters in another house, and the circle of thread on the cuff was bald after washing it five times. There is no such problem in his house at all. The embroidery thread is made of high-strength polyester, and the back collar reinforcement strip is also pure cotton webbing. I am really satisfied with the details.

There are two other reminders. First, be sure to "wash the water test sample clothes" before customization. Don't believe the verbal promise, take it back and throw it in the washing machine for half an hour before comparing, see the real chapter. Second, the logo typesetting file must be turned and given the bleeding position. Don't send a screenshot of the mobile phone. It is really impossible to wear it out with serrated edges.

Finally, collecting this article is not the end, and making a washed and durable sweater is the correct solution. As usual, leave your blood and tears in the comment area, like the hairball remover sent to Yasen Man in the first three days, and let our sweaters fight for another three years.✌️
