Structural Analysis: The MH type is specifically twisted to provide a more textured look and higher tensile strength, making it the favorite for heavy-duty embroidery on denim or leather. The MX type, which includes two supporting nylon yarns, is the most stable and is recommended for the most demanding high-speed industrial environments. We also offer "Super-Soft" varieties for garments that will have direct contact with the skin, utilizing a thinner foil that maintains shine while reducing stiffness.
Application
The application of metallic embroidery thread spans multiple luxury and commercial sectors. Its primary function is to enhance the perceived value of a product. In High Fashion and Couture, metallic threads are used for intricate goldwork and silver filigree on evening gowns and bridal wear. The way the thread reflects light adds a three-dimensional quality to floral patterns and geometric designs that flat threads cannot achieve.
In the Branding and Corporate Identity sector, companies use metallic threads for logos on hats, jackets, and bags to signify premium quality. A gold-embroidered logo often commands a higher price point at retail. Furthermore, the Religious and Ceremonial market relies heavily on our threads for vestments, altar cloths, and flags, where tradition dictates the use of gold and silver symbolism.
Beyond apparel, Home Decor is a massive market. Metallic accents on throw pillows, curtains, and table runners are currently trending in interior design. Our threads are also widely used in the Footwear Industry, particularly in the decoration of sneakers and luxury loafers. Because our metallic yarn is treated for abrasion resistance, it holds up well even on the moving parts of a shoe. Lastly, the Festive and Holiday market—including Christmas stockings, tree skirts, and ornaments—consumes vast quantities of metallic yarn to create the "sparkle" associated with holiday joy.
Advantages
- Maximum Reflective Brilliance: Our proprietary foil-wrapping technique ensures a 360-degree shine that remains consistent across the entire spool, preventing "dull spots" in large embroidery fills.
- Anti-Stripping Technology: One of the biggest complaints with metallic thread is the foil peeling off the core. Our "QF-Bond" process ensures the foil stays attached even under high needle friction.
- Industrial Speed Compatibility: While most metallic threads require slowing down the machine, ours are tested to run at up to 800-900 stitches per minute (SPM) with minimal breakage.
- Soft-Touch Options: We have solved the "itchy" problem. Our soft metallic range uses a ultra-thin polyester core that is flexible and gentle on the skin.
- Resistance to Oxidation: Our metallic coatings are treated to prevent tarnishing or turning black over time, ensuring the gold remains gold and the silver stays bright for years.
- Oeko-Tex Certified: Safe for use in all garment categories, ensuring no heavy metals or harmful chemicals are present in the dye or foil.
