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.

Coral fleece is a warp-knitted fabric. It is made through finishing processes such as dyeing, brushing, frying, combing, printing, etc. It is a new type of fabric. Knitted fabrics are generally divided into warp-knitted and weft-knitted fabrics. Common coral fleece is made of polyester fibers DTY150d/288f and DTY150d/144f. Therefore its fabric has outstanding softness.

Pros and cons of coral fleece

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.
  2. Good coverage: due to the high density between fibers, the coverage is good.
  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.

The use of coral fleece

The dried products should be folded well. and keep it in a dry place. Remember not to accumulate heavy objects on coral fleece products, otherwise, they will be deformed.

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.

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.
