Appliqué
Appliqué is fast, easy, durable, and cost effective. Decrease your production time, and increase the value and aesthetic appearance of your finished product, by using appliqué instead of simple embroidery.
In today’s competitive marketplace, you need every edge possible. Incorporating appliqué into your product will help set you apart, allowing you to produce eye-catching design effects that would be impossible to duplicate with direct embroidery alone. Replacing the fill stitches with fabric brings interesting texture and dimension to your designs. Lower stitch counts and run-time, high perceived retail value, the look of luxury - appliqué is something you simply must consider.
Embroidery appliqué is a very efficient way of dressing up garments and adding flair to embroidery designs. Appliqué also saves you time and money on larger designs by reducing the stitch count. Less stitches means you will use less embroidery thread to complete the design. It also means that you will finish embroidering the design in a fraction of the time that it would have taken to do the design with a fill stitch.
As the popularity of embroidery appliqué grows, the demand on custom embroidery specialists to get their orders out quickly is very high.
Waterjet cutting your embroidery appliqué designs gives you the possibility of cutting intricate designs and cutting quantities in the thousands (which you couldn't afford to cut by hand). If you haven't tried embroidery appliqué before, then now is the time to start.
Available in HEAT-SEAL ADHESIVE or PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE
Heat Seal Adhesives are also known as Thermoplastic Adhesives. Thermoplastic adhesive has also been referred to as hot-melt and thermal-sensitive. It is uniform in thickness, flexible, and light in weight. Because of these properties, it is easy to use - especially when compared to thermosetting adhesives.
Heat seal adhesive allows for re-positioning in those occasionally necessary re-work situations. In addition to the above characteristics, they are also environmentally friendly and made without volatile organic compounds (VOC's).
Pressure-sensitive Adhesive will stick with application of pressure only (without activation by heat) . The adhesive that is coated on the backing substrate is a pressure-sensitive adhesive. When combined with the face fabric under pressure, it bonds/laminates to the face fabric. Pressure-sensitive adhesive makes appliqué embroidery a snap - no spray cans of adhesive with the sticky mess and noxious fumes. Just peel off the backing and position your appliqué piece to embroider.
