Kangasmerkintä

Kangasmerkintä refers to the practice of marking textiles, often for identification, inventory, or design purposes. This can be achieved through various methods, each with its own advantages and applications.

One common technique is printing, where inks or dyes are applied to the fabric surface. This method is versatile, allowing for intricate patterns, logos, and detailed graphics. Screen printing, digital printing, and heat transfer printing are all forms of fabric printing.

Another method is embroidery, where threads are used to create designs or lettering on the fabric. This technique adds texture and a premium feel, often used for branding on apparel or decorative elements.

Stamping or branding is also used, particularly for marking raw materials or finished goods with company logos or production codes. This can involve heat, pressure, or ink to leave a permanent mark.

In some industrial settings, kankaamerkintä might involve marking fabric for cutting or assembly, using temporary chalk lines or more permanent dye marks. This ensures accuracy and efficiency in manufacturing processes. The specific method chosen depends on the material, the desired permanence of the mark, and the intended application of the textile.
