100% Embroidered Badge refers to the entire surface of the badge being made entirely of embroidery technology, without any other non embroidery materials (such as printing, heat transfer printing, etc.) participating in the presentation of the pattern. This badge has become a popular choice for various clothing, accessories, luggage and other decorations due to its exquisite craftsmanship, rich colors and three-dimensional sense.
2、 Characteristics of 100% Embroidered Badges
High quality and durability
Embroidery process advantages: Embroidery threads are usually made of high-strength fiber materials, such as polyester fibers, which have good wear resistance and fade resistance. Compared with printed badges, 100% embroidered badges are less prone to wear and fading during long-term use and cleaning, and can maintain their brightness and integrity for a longer period of time.
Structural stability: The embroidery thread is tightly interwoven on the base fabric, forming a stable structure that makes the badge less prone to deformation and unraveling, and has high durability.
Rich colors and three-dimensional sense
Color diversity: Embroidery threads come in a variety of colors to choose from, which can meet different design needs and achieve rich color combinations. Whether it's bright color combinations or soft tone transitions, they can be accurately presented through embroidery techniques.
Stereoscopic visual effect: Due to the three-dimensional stacking of embroidery threads on the base, the badge pattern has a clear sense of three dimensionality, making the pattern more vivid and realistic, enhancing the visual impact. For example, when embroidering a flower, the layered and three-dimensional feeling of the petals can make the flower look more delicate and juicy.
Personalized customization
Design flexibility: 100% embroidered badges can be personalized according to customers' specific needs, whether it is simple text, logos, or complex patterns and scenes, all can be achieved through embroidery technology. Customers can freely choose the shape, size, color, and pattern of the badge to create a unique one.
Small batch production: Compared to some large-scale badge making techniques, embroidery is more suitable for small batch production. Even if customers only need a small number of badges, they can still customize them to meet their personalized needs.
3、 The production process of 100% embroidered badges
Design draft production
Customer requirement communication: Firstly, fully communicate with the customer to understand their specific design requirements for the badge, including patterns, colors, shapes, sizes, and other aspects.
Design drawing: Based on customer requirements, designers use professional design software (such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, etc.) to draw the design draft of the badge. In the design process, the characteristics of embroidery techniques should be considered, such as the thickness of lines, color matching, and complexity of patterns, to ensure that the design draft can be smoothly transformed into embroidery patterns.
Material selection
Base fabric selection: Common base fabrics include felt, denim, canvas, etc. Felt has a soft texture, suitable for making badges of various shapes, and can effectively fix embroidery threads; Denim has a stylish appearance and good durability; Canvas has high strength and wear resistance. Choose the appropriate base fabric based on the usage scenario and design requirements of the badge.
Embroidery thread selection: As mentioned earlier, embroidery thread is usually made of high-strength materials such as polyester fibers. When choosing embroidery thread, factors such as color, thickness, and glossiness should be considered to ensure that it matches the color and effect of the design draft.
Embroidery production
Computer embroidery machine programming: Import the design draft into the computer embroidery machine, program it through professional embroidery software, and set parameters such as embroidery stitches, color order, embroidery speed, etc.
Embroidery processing: Fix the selected base fabric on the embroidery frame of the embroidery machine, and the embroidery machine performs embroidery processing according to the programmed program. During the embroidery process, it is important to closely monitor the quality of the embroidery, adjust machine parameters in a timely manner, and ensure the uniformity, tightness, and accuracy of the embroidery lines and patterns.
Post processing
Trimming: After embroidery is completed, use scissors to trim the excess fabric around the badge neatly, making the shape of the badge more regular.
Adhesive or Lock Edge Treatment: According to customer needs, adhesive can be applied to the back of the badge for easy attachment to clothing or other items; You can also lock the edges of the badge to prevent detachment and enhance its durability.
