How to determine the metal badges size?

Application occasions and design drawings determine the custom size. In general, it is more appropriate to use 20-25mm for the badge worn on the chest. So, we just need to calculate the size based on the diameter of the longest side. The round badge is the size of the diameter.

But the size of the badge will directly affect the price. The bigger the size, the higher the price. Because it consumes more material. Production time is also longer. However, it’s not that the smaller the size, the cheaper. If the size is too small and the design pattern is complicated, the price will be relatively high.

Try to find the right price-quality ratio. The size of the design badge has a great relationship with the comfort of wearing it. Most badges are worn on the left chest. But there are some conference badges that need to wear on the collar of a suit. The armbands and collars have relatively fixed positions.

When wearing the badge, pay attention to the size and weight of the badge. Some small and lightweight badges can be equipped with magnets. This also avoids pinholes in clothing. When wearing the badge, pay attention to the color matching the clothes. When pregnant women and children wear badges, try to use magnet accessories so as not to stab the skin.

Pros

Coral fleece is made of imported DTY microfiber as raw material. Compared with other textiles, its advantages are particularly obvious. For example, it feels soft and delicate, does not shed hair, and is easy to dye.

  1. Soft hand feeling: the monofilament is thin and the bending modulus is small. Therefore its fabric has outstanding softness.

  3. Good air permeability: the dry fiber has a large specific surface area. Therefore, it has a high wicking effect and air permeability and is comfortable to wear.
  4. Good decontamination: the dry fiber fabric is soft and can fit closely with the object to be wiped. Therefore it has a good cleaning effect.
  5. Optics: Due to the large specific surface area of the fiber, the light reflection on the surface of the fiber assembly is poor. Therefore, the fabric made of this fiber has elegant and soft color.

Cons

Coral fleece is prone to static electricity. Due to the weaving principle, it will suffer from shedding. Therefore, we recommend washing it with water before wearing it. If you have dry skin in winter, you can apply moisturizer before wearing it. It is recommended that people with sensitive skin and asthma should avoid wearing this fabric because it will cause floating hands.

Mothballs, fresheners, and dehumidifiers should not be in close contact with coral fleece products.

Compared with other fabrics

1, Which is better, coral fleece or flannel?

The advantage of both is strong warmth retention. Flannel is more suitable for making trousers, tops, children’s clothes, etc. We can use it for shirts and skirts. Coral fleece is soft and suitable for pajamas. Flannel is warmer than coral fleece but more expensive. The flannel fluff is finer and denser. However, the hair of coral fleece is relatively thick and sparse. So coral fleece is easier to lose hair, but flannel is not.

2, Which is better, coral fleece or pure cotton?

Compared with pure cotton quilt cover fabrics, coral fleece is softer and more comfortable and has better thermal performance. But the volume is larger than pure cotton fabric. And it is inconvenient to clean. And because the fluff is long, so it is better than pure cotton fabrics are more likely to collect dust. And it is easy to breed bacteria such as mites. Then, it can cause skin redness, allergies, itching, etc. Therefore, we need to clean frequently.

Pure cotton fabrics are less prone to allergies than coral fleece. And it fits well with the quilt core. The quilt cover of coral fleece is very poor in this respect. Its quilt core often scurries around in the quilt cover. Pure cotton is easy to wrinkle after washing. Coral fleece is soft and not easy to wrinkle. But coral fleece is prone to pilling after a long time of use.

3, Which is better, coral velvet or crystal velvet?

When we say crystal velvet, it is actually an upgraded product extended on coral velvet. It’s a bit more advanced. Crystal velvet will be smoother and more comfortable to the touch. The fabric of crystal velvet is also thicker, so it will keep it warmer. Due to its high density, it is not easy to shed hair either. It will also be higher in cost.

Compared with flannel, crystal velvet is polyester fiber in common. They are all polyester, chemical fiber production. The difference is that the crystal velvet has fluff on the surface. And the density is high, and the fleece is very dense. If it is close to the skin, it will feel tight. Therefore it is not suitable for close-fitting clothing. They are more suitable for other household items.

  2. We can process it into camping tents and protective covers for various machinery and equipment;
  3. We can use it to build temporary granaries and cover various crops in the open air;
  4. It can be used as a cover for open-air warehouse storage at stations, docks, seaports, and airports;
  5. We can use it as a material for building temporary sheds and warehouses on construction sites;

The three-proof cloth is tear-resistant and cold-resistant. Moreover, it is also resistant to high temperatures. Besides, we can hem the four sides of the tarpaulin. Then, we drill holes every one meter. So, the fabric is durable and water-resistant. It is also convenient to fold and wash.

Oxford cloth

Oxford cloth originated in England. It is a new type of fabric with various functions and a wide range of uses. There are main varieties on the market: sets, full bombs, nylon, etc. Oxford cloth is a traditional combed cotton fabric named after the University of Oxford. It started around 1900.

Set grid Oxford cloth is ideal for making all kinds of bags. It is not only light in texture and soft to the touch. Moreover, it is waterproof and durable.

Such Oxford cloth is the best and most common for bags. Nylon Oxford cloth is perfect for flood and rainproof products. So it is more suitable as a truck tarpaulin. The fabric is colorfast and shaped fast. Truck users love them for their quality and new designs.

Blue and white cloth

Blue and white cloth have wide use in the market. It is waterproof, sun-proof, and anti-aging. In addition, it is not only durable, folding, and corrosion-resistant, but also lightweight.

Blue and white cloth are ideal for storage, construction, various tents, greenhouses, transport ships, aircraft, open-air cargo, etc. This acts as a cover for protection.

PVC tarpaulin

PVC tarpaulins are durable but a bit heavy. Common PVC oilcloth fabrics are woven from polyester filaments. The polyester yarn has good corrosion resistance and high strength. So PVC oilcloth is more durable.

We spray PVC on the outside of the PVC tarpaulin. This way it forms a waterproof layer. Because of its bright surface, most people are used to calling it an oilcloth.

The tear strength of PVC tarpaulin is much better than traditional tarpaulin. Then, we carry out special treatment on its surface, which will play an anti-slip effect. Therefore, PVC tarpaulin is a popular waterproof cloth on the market.

In conclusion

With the advancement of technology, the traditional truck tarpaulin in the past has upgraded to the current Oxford cloth and other cloth. Their rainproof performance is stronger and stronger. The fabric is also more durable.

Finally, to ensure that the goods do not get wet.

Closed-container transportation is becoming more and more popular at present. The transportation of oversized cargo also requires tarpaulins. At present, the application of trucks and tarpaulins has fewer from the current main position. However, the production of tent series products requires a lot of tarpaulins.

Choice of tarpaulin in tent series products:

With the market demand for inflatable tents, tarpaulins are popular inflatable tents. Such as Oxford cloth banquet/wedding banquet inflatable tents, canvas, rubber, and plastic cloth, Oxford cloth construction tents, and rainproof and thickened tourist inflatable tents.

How to choose children’s clothing fabrics?

According to the features of children’s skin and body, harmless raw materials like pure cotton, velvet cotton, wool, and fur suit children’s clothing fabrics. The fabric and style requirements of children’s clothing are stricter than those of adults. Fabrics and accessories are increasingly emphasizing natural and environmental protection.

Regardless of girls’ or boys’ clothing, there are certain particularities in the choice of fabrics. Especially in terms of comfort, softness, lightness, tear resistance, washability, etc., the requirements are very high. Especially children’s clothing has recently developed towards leisure. They need more sweat-absorbent, breathable, and soft fabrics that are less irritating.

Cotton, natural hemp, silk, and pure wool

Cotton clothing is beneficial to children’s physical and mental health due to its advantages of comfort and sweat absorption. Therefore, it has become the main fabric of children’s clothing. Secondly, natural materials such as hemp, silk, and pure wool are also good materials for making children’s clothing.

First of all, children’s skin is more sensitive and delicate. Therefore, the fabrics of children’s clothing must be softer and more eco-friendly.

Secondly, children are more lively and active, so they sweat more. Therefore, the water absorption of children’s clothing fabrics is better.

children's clothing fabrics

Therefore, the fabrics for children’s clothing can choose the following fabrics:

Cotton or cotton ammonia

If it is children’s pajamas or T-shirts (clothes worn next to the body), they are usually made of cotton or cotton ammonia. Single jersey, rib, and cotton wool are the most common.

The fabric is soft, sweat-absorbent, and won’t cause skin allergies in children.

Cotton, TC, CVC, rayon, terry cloth

If it is used for outerwear, it is usually made of cotton, TC, CVC, and rayon. Knitting fabrics: terry cloth (divided into large and small terry, French terry, etc.), velvet.

This kind of fabric has good fastness and good warmth retention. Because it is mainly made of cotton, it is suitable for children to wear.

children's clothing fabrics 01

Good insulation fabric

Choose clothes with good heat retention. Wool is the best, cotton next, and silk last.

The fabric is porous and can store more air. Therefore, thick and loose fabrics have good heat retention.

At the same time, the color of the fabric is also related to thermal insulation. Dark fabrics have little reflective power and great heat absorption. Light-colored fabrics have high reflective power and low heat absorption.

Therefore, it is advisable to choose loose, thick, and dark wool and cotton clothes in winter. In summer, choose thin, thin, and light-colored linen, silk, and thin cotton clothes.

Fabric with good moisture absorption

The hygroscopicity of clothing fabrics is determined by the fiber properties of the fabrics.

Generally, wool and cotton fibers have good hygroscopicity and can be dissipated quickly. This keeps the fabric dry and facilitates cleansing of the skin.

The weave of the fabric is also related to moisture absorption. Knits are more absorbent than plain weaves.

Therefore, children should wear plush knitted clothes. Because these kinds of clothes are soft and warm, breathable and hygroscopic.

But don’t use coarse wool, so as not to irritate the skin.

Cotton fabrics are suitable for children’s underwear. Man-made fibers have poor hygroscopicity and are not suitable for underwear.

Children’s clothing fabrics index

Cotton knitted fabrics are the most suitable for children. Although those animal hairs are more expensive than cotton, they are not good for children’s clothing. Because children’s respiratory tract is more sensitive, animal hair is easy to irritate the respiratory tract.

Children’s fabrics are comfortable to the touch. Therefore, strict requirements are imposed on environmental protection and safety. We also added some functional indicators, such as moisture wicking and so on. In addition, we had add saliva-resistant and flame-retardant indicators to infant and young children’s clothing. According to GB-18401-2010 safety and quality indicators, the minimum requirement for ordinary children’s clothing reaches Class B. The minimum requirements for infants and toddlers must reach Category A.

The fabric products that are often used in adult clothing after bronzing, silver stamping, flocking and other processes are not suitable for use in children’s clothing. And the fabric products of fluorescent colors are not suitable for application in infant products.

How do those creative cosmetic packaging boxes attract users’ attention?

For skincare brands, the most important step in building customer trust is to firmly control the quality of products. Because skin care products are products that come into direct contact with our skin. Customers cannot tolerate the slightest error. Just as important as having quality skin care products are the premium cosmetic packaging boxes. Consider that the box is the first branding element that customers interact with. The quality of the packaging boxes must match the quality of the product. After all, if your skincare box doesn’t impress customers, there’s a good chance customer won’t pay too much attention to your products.

When it comes to cosmetic packaging, consider how your brand story and values can be displayed through the packaging boxes. In order to design a cosmetic packaging foldable box that is more suitable for the brand. We can find inspiration from several skin care product packaging boxes.

Twiggie & Rose

Twiggie & Rose

Twiggie & Rose is a natural, organic skincare brand. The retro color matching and exquisite logo are printed on clean white paper. You can tell this is a feminine brand by the appearance of the box.

Different from ordinary folding cardboard boxes, Twiggie & Rose cosmetic packaging boxes are opened and closed with traditional file bags commonly used with rope-wrapped buckles. Combined with the hot stamping process, the cosmetic packaging box is more delicate and beautiful.

Skinsmiths

Skinsmiths

Through Skinsmiths cosmetic packaging box, it can be seen that their brand pays great attention to the details of the product. The colors printed on the packaging box represent customers with different skin types.

Their logo uses a black bold font, which is better balanced with the soft and simple product description text.

Henua Organics

Henua Organics

Henua Organics is a niche cosmetics brand in Finland. Its brand products are mainly natural and sustainable. Therefore, the company also applies this brand concept to its cosmetic packaging boxes.

Moreover, the overall style of their packaging boxes is dominated by Nordic simplicity. The simple black and white matching color scheme match the frosted glass inner packaging. It aims to create a refined high-grade texture for the user.

Wildsmith Skin

Wildsmith Skin

Wildsmith Skin packs produce natural, sustainable skin care products by using plant-derived bioactive ingredients, botanicals, and minerals. Wildsmith Skin uses sturdy grayboard pasted round boxes to store and protect its products. However, apart from the basic printing process, they did not add other eye-catching crafts to their boxes.

However, the black text is printed with white packaging paper. This really accentuates the text message on the cosmetic box. At the same time, it also shows the brand’s concept of environmental protection.

In conclusion

Most potential customers perceive the quality and value of products based on cosmetic packaging boxes. Therefore, high-quality cosmetic packaging is an important part of attracting user attention and building user trust.

In clothing fabrics, what are the common T-shirt fabrics?

There are many clothing fabrics in daily life, So what are the common T-shirt fabrics? T-shirt fabrics include 100% cotton fabric, mercerized cotton, pure cotton double-mercerized fabric, saccharified cotton, lycra/nylon cotton/polyester cotton. Follow along with this article to have a look!

100% cotton fabric

Comfortable, 100% cotton is the most commonly used T-shirt fabric. It is skin-friendly, breathable, moisture-absorbent, and eco-friendly. And the wrinkles will disappear naturally after wearing them for a period of time. Cotton undergoes special treatment, such as mercerizing or saccharification. Its quality and appearance are distinguished and classified. So cotton is the best T-shirt fabric. And we can make soft cotton labels by using 100% cotton fabric.

Cotton includes coarse yarn and high-count yarn according to the thickness of the yarn. More than 26 counts are high-count yarns. Cotton is divided into long-staple cotton and short-staple cotton according to the length of the fiber. The longer the staple, the higher the quality.

100% cotton fabric

Mercerized cotton

Mercerized cotton fabric is made of cotton. It has undergone special processing procedures such as singeing and mercerizing. Finally, we turn it into a high-quality mercerized yarn that is smooth, soft, and wrinkle-resistant. The high-quality knitted fabric made of this raw material preserves the excellent natural characteristics of raw cotton. And it also has a silky sheen.

Then, the fabric is soft to the touch, moisture-wicking, and breathable. And it has good elasticity and drape. In addition, mercerized cotton fabrics are rich in designs and colors. So, we feel comfortable and casual in our wear. This can also reflect the temperament and taste of the wearer.

Mercerized cotton

Pure cotton double-mercerized fabric

The pure cotton double-mercerized fabric can quickly weave the designed pattern fabric. Then, we can produce this high-grade knitted fabric after a series of finishing on the gray cloth. Its cloth surface has clear lines and novel patterns. And the appearance looks shiny and bright and feels smooth. So we think it is better than mercerized cotton. But, it was a little more expensive.

Pure cotton double-mercerized fabric

Saccharified cotton

Saccharification cotton is a new high-tech environmental protection process. Under the action of fiber glucose, the surface of cotton fiber forms a smooth film. At the same time, the compact cotton yarn makes the cotton feel smooth and more resistant to washing. Therefore, saccharified cotton retains the features of pure cotton. Also, it has the natural matte sheen of cotton.

At the same time, it becomes wide and breathable. Therefore, this fabric is more suitable for men’s clothing. Saccharified cotton is another high-grade cotton T-shirt fabric that is different from mercerized cotton.

Saccharified cotton

Lycra cotton (high-quality spandex)

Lycra cotton feels good and elastic. It is more close-fitting and can highlight the figure. Therefore, it is suitable for wearing next to the body. In the past two years, it has been used on men’s T-shirts. Generally, when making T-shirt fabrics, we treat fabrics with spandex with light alkali and low-temperature mercerizing. This kind of fabric is more suitable for close-fitting and fashionable T-shirts. However, the skinny feeling will be worse.

T-shirt fabrics: Lycra cotton

Nylon yarn with pure cotton yarn

Nylon yarn and pure cotton yarn suit to make casual clothes. They are ideal materials for fashion. Types are plain, twill, extinction, square root, and other series. Its fabric is glossy and feels smooth. Therefore, it is ideal for styles such as windbreakers, cotton clothes, and jackets. Nylon is a chemical fiber. It is elastic. Cotton with nylon fabric will make the feel relatively soft. However, this combination will result in poor water absorption, weak luster, and easy deformation.

Nylon yarn with pure cotton yarn

Polyester cotton

Polyester and cotton blended fabrics have good wrinkle resistance. And not easy to deform. However, this fabric is prone to fluff. Coupled with two dyeings, the fabric feels hard. However, they are soft and thick to the touch and won’t lose their shape when washed. But the comfort is slightly worse than pure cotton. Polyester-cotton T-shirts feel thicker and softer. But it will be boring to wear on the body.
