If you are in the design and/or apparel business, you know the importance of fabric swatches. You understand that fabric and color swatches are a significant component of ensuring your product and service successfully attracts and retains clients. They provide you with capabilities not possible through any other means.
The Importance of Fabric Swatches
The variety of fabrics is endless. Their appearance, structure and composition vary. For the apparel and designer industry (A & D) to ensure the material matches their goal, it is imperative to not only see but also to touch and feel the fabric. They need to know the properties of the material. Can it drape? Does it catch the light? A swatch, unlike other means, helps them accomplish this.
The Importance of Color Swatches
Color swatches, like fabric swatches, are important. They help the A & D personnel realize the color spectrum possible for diverse fabrics. They show how the color may differ on wool, vinyl, plastic and other materials. They provide concrete evidence of whether a specific color is the best one for the intended project.
Swatches
The tiny samples, called “swatches” are an integral component of the cloth industry. They provide the information the A & D industry requires to demonstrate how a specific fabric they are considering using looks, feels and acts. They function as a guideline to the industry of how an entire bolt of fabric will look. Both color and fabric swatches, whether lap-dip or handloom, allow potential customers to make informed decisions.
