The difference between circular woven patches and sublimation wristbands
Update time: 2024-08-15 11:22:35
Both circular braided patches and sublimation wrist straps are customized products, but they differ significantly in their manufacturing process, materials, applications, and features. Here are the main differences between them:
Manufacturing process
Circular braided patches:
Process: Using braiding technology, the design pattern is transferred to the patch through the braided wire. The braiding process can include different weaving methods, such as plain weave or twill weave, to achieve various visual effects.
Material: Common materials include polyester, nylon, cotton blends, etc. The choice of braided wire affects the texture and durability of the patch.
Sublimation wrist strap:
Process: Using sublimation printing technology, the pattern is transferred from the sublimation paper to the surface of the wrist strap. The dye is converted into gaseous form by high temperature and penetrates into the material fiber.
Material: Polyester material is mainly used because of its good sublimation receptivity. Other materials may affect the sublimation effect.
Material and texture
Circular braided patches:
Texture: Due to the different braided wires, the patch has a certain three-dimensional sense and texture. It is usually more wear-resistant, but the feel may vary depending on the material.
Materials: including polyester, nylon, cotton blends, etc. These materials determine the softness, durability and appearance of the patch.
Sublimation wrist strap:
Texture: The material is relatively soft and suitable for wearing. Sublimation technology makes the pattern colorful, durable and comfortable to the touch.
Material: Mainly using polyester, it has good sublimation acceptance and durability.
Application scenario
Circular braided patch:
Use: Widely used for decoration of clothing, bags, hats, etc. Suitable for brand logo, team logo, event commemoration, etc.
Effect: Provides durable decorative effect and can withstand wear and washing.
Sublimation wrist strap:
Use: Commonly used for event entrance, identity recognition, brand promotion, souvenirs, etc. Suitable for on-site management and publicity of various activities.
Effect: Bright colors, durable, can effectively convey information and increase brand exposure.
Design and customization
Circular braided patch:
Design: The design can include complex patterns and details, but the weaving process may have limited expression of details. The design should be simple and clear to ensure good recognizability.
Customization: Different colors and edge treatments can be selected as needed.
Sublimation wrist straps:
Design: Designs can be very complex and varied, and sublimation technology allows for full-color patterns. Suitable for highly personalized customization.
Customization: Different colors, patterns, and texts can be selected, providing a wide range of personalization options.
Durability and maintenance
Circular braided patches:
Durability: Generally more wear-resistant, suitable for long-term use and frequent washing. Braided patches are not easy to fade and wear-resistant.
Maintenance: Relatively easy to clean, usually can be washed with water or dry wipe.
Sublimation wrist straps:
Durability: The pattern color of the sublimation wrist strap is long-lasting, but the material may wear under long-term use or frequent friction.
Maintenance: Avoid high temperatures and strong light to prevent fading. Can be gently wiped with a damp cloth.
Cost and production cycle
Circular braided patches:
Cost: Depending on the complexity of the braiding and the material, the cost may vary. Complex designs and high-quality materials increase the cost.
Production cycle: The production cycle is relatively long and involves multiple steps such as braiding, sewing and finishing.
Sublimation wrist straps:
Cost: Usually more economical, especially when produced in large quantities. Sublimation is a more efficient process that can be produced quickly.
Production cycle: The production cycle is shorter, especially when the sublimation process is mature.
Circular braid patches and sublimation wrist straps have their own characteristics and are suitable for different occasions and needs. Circular braid patches are suitable for clothing and accessories due to their durability and unique texture, while sublimation wrist straps are widely used in event management and brand promotion due to their bright colors and personalized customization. Understanding the difference between them can help you choose the best product to meet specific needs.
