DURESTA - PRODUCTION PROJECT

It seemed appropriate that when Duresta, a luxury upholstery company, approached us for 100 promotional units, we suggested that they use dye sublimation fabric.

 

The units were flat-packed and sent to premium stores such as John Lewis and House of Fraser with a full set of build instructions.

 

This case study looks at the processes involved to print, stitch and produce one hundred 800 x 2000mm, double-sided FabriFrames.

 

ARTWORK

Once we receive artwork from the design agency we check it for quality and to make sure it is set up correctly. We set the colour profiles for our Rip software and send it to our printer.

 

 

PRINT

Our large format fabric printer prints at 25.3 meters per hour to ensure a high-quality finish is achieved.

 

 

CALENDER

With dye sublimation, the ink becomes part of the fabric, rather than sitting on the surface. This process seals the ink and creates a powerfully vibrant colour finish.

 

 

TRIM

The fabric is then trimmed to size and laid flat before being stitched.

 

 

STITCH

The fabric’s edge is finished with a slim silicon beading to enable it to sit securely within the frame unit.

 

 

BUILD

Our customers can choose whether or not we build the frames for them or they are delivered as flat pack units. We include instructions on how to build the frames and fit the fabric graphics.

 

 

FIT

Finally the fabric is fitted to the frame using the silicon beading, starting at the corner and then the middle lengths.

FABRIC IS A BRILLIANT RESOURCE. BY USING DYE SUBLIMATION, THE INKS BECOME PART OF THE FABRIC TO CREATE VIBRANT COLOURS AND STRIKING DISPLAYS.

IT IS AVAILABLE IN SIZES THAT PAPER STOCK COULD NEVER REACH SEAMLESSLY. FABRIC CAN ALSO FOLD DOWN AND BE POPPED IN THE POST.
