Klieverik Co-Star In The Digital Textile Micro-Factory At FESPA Global Expo In Amsterdam
Klieverik say that the future of apparel manufacturing is the On Demand Apparel Micro-factory.
They say that it is complete game-changer where the customer sees the product first, buys, pays for it and then the garment is produced.
At the FESPA, Klieverik will work closely together with their partners Neenah Coldenhove, Summa, Mimaki Europe B.V., Greentex and Carolina Guzman , to recreate a Micro-factory.
Visit Klieverik at Stand 5-M30 to follow the steps of Sublimation Transfer Printing in action.
Klieverik will show you the designs of Carolina Guzman. Carolina’s designs can be described as feminine and stylish.
The role that the fabric plays in the garment is vital. Design and fabric must go hand in hand because all this is going to be the result of the brand’s personality, an exclusive and spectacular design is useless if the fabric is going to have poor quality in itself or poor quality in printing; because this would ruin the garment completely.
On the other hand; design and fabric can complete each other and take it to a higher level.
So it has to have quality characteristics of the fabric, print quality, what do we feel to the touch?
If it is a comfortable fabric, if it is a fabric that will go according to the design we are making, it is not the same to have a rigid fabric to have a stretch fabric, they will not look the same in the same design.
Let us remember that the first things the client sees is the design of the fabric, as they will or will not feel identified with the colours; instantly you will also be able to notice the details of the design of the print and its colours.
Carolina will be attending FESPA and Klieverik will be showing her designs on the booths belonging to the Micro-factory.
In the Klieverik calender, the image on the printed paper will be transferred to the polyester textile.
At the FESPA Klieverik will show you the transfer printing on the VERTEX which is their NEW entry level hybrid transfer printing calender.
VERTEX is an affordable, compact hybrid calender. With this machine, Klieverik aims at the lower market segment.
Smaller companies, start-ups and companies with a diverse range of activities. For this reason, the VERTEX is made versatile.
It is a single piece transfer calender with roll-to-roll capacity.
Klieverik calenders are the best match to use in a micro-factory, because they have the best oil heated drum which ensures you to have a consistent temperature, which is essential for the sublimation at all stages of the process.
Together with even pressure of the belt, this gives the best transfer printing results.
Klieverik has been an established producer of high-quality calenders for over four decades.
The newly announced machine is the first of its kind from the Dutch company.
Klieverik has previously prioritized the manufacture of high end, larger format industrial models, such as GTC and Single Piece Flowline calenders.
