“In a competitive world, organizations are realizing that only people can brand products or services effectively – that we are not just selling a branded product but a mass of branded people who support and deliver it.”
Helena Rubinstein, The Lab.
Branding is the most essential aspect of any corporate wardrobe. Creating the right impression is the key to success. Managing corporate identity is serious business, especially in a crowded market. A logo will often be a client’s first visual impression of your business. Standing out among competitors in your industry is vital.
At Colbar, we are able to incorporate your corporate colours into a woven or printed fabric. By matching your CI manual pantone colours, we are able to dye up unique fabrics which will set you apart from your competitors.
Embroidery is a process where thread is stitched into your custom product. With embroidery you can create a more professional look which will last longer than the inks used in screen printing. Embroidery on almost all occasions is priced based on a stitch count. This stitch count is usually broken down per thousand stitches and priced accordingly.
Pros – Very professional looking, lasts longer than screenprinting, enhances your garment, gets your business noticed!
Cons – Logo’s may need to be altered due to difficulty of showing shading with thread, Very small text is very difficult, Little more expensive than screen printing.
Screen printing is a process that uses inks that are applied to a substrate. Some of the most common substrates used are t-shirts. The process is called screen printing because a mesh screen with a stencil is created for each color in a design in which ink is pushed through onto your t-shirt, creating a finished logo once combined.
Pros – Create high end products with shading and gradients, Fairly inexpensive for large runs, Can recreate a very detailed logo
Cons – Fading or cracking may occur after several washes, Requires a minimum order due to setup time, Can not screen print on all types of materials.
This is the very latest in cutting edge corporate branding. The perfect affordable finishing touch to your clothing products are our custom woven fabric labels and clothing tags. These come in the form of woven neck labels, zip pullers, “sidewinders” (pocket tabs) and woven badges.
Pros – Maintain your brand intergrity, extremely durable, sets you apart from your competitors
