With one of our core services being sewing contracts, adding these valuable services help our clients accomplish their projects, regardless of how large or small. We provide swatching and pinking to various industries to meet customers’ unique needs.
What Are Swatching and Pinking?
Deciding on the material to use for an entire product line can be a tough and time-intensive process. Therefore, swatches help customers determine the best material for their project before purchasing all the fabric yardage needed for the final product development. While fabric swatching may seem like a niche capability, companies providing this specialized service must work with many different clients and materials to offer quality solutions for all types of applications.
The four main types of swatches include:
- Fan Decks. These allow customers to view a variety of colors and patterns easily. Fan decks can hold many small swatches on pieces that spread out.
- When customers want specific colors or patterns, large individual swatches are sent to them to help make their final decision. This swatching option does not showcase all the material varieties available.
- Swatch Card. A swatch card features a selection of small swatches on paper stock, allowing the customer to compare the different options easily. While this swatching option does not feature as much material, it does show a wider selection than other sample options.
- Stack Book. For a more professional and durable format to showcase large swatches to customers, stack books are used. They use more fabric and are best for large patterns with a variety of shades.
To extend the life of fabric samples, we offer pinking services. Pinking is the zigzag cut often seen with fabric swatches, created by a scallop-toothed edge blade from pinking shears or a hand crank pinker. This process helps prevent materials from fraying, making swatches last longer. Pinking shears cut fabric on the bias, which reduces fabric from fraying and is best for several applications, including seam finishes.
