Fashion Applications

Whether it be a simple size code label for a project or a full on battle coat in leather for a fashion shoot, we’ve helped hundreds of students understand how to bring a paper concept design or logo to fruition.

We understand the necessity of handing down the experience we currently have to the future of the fashion world. All of us at TreKo realise that our future customers are the ones that are designing the fabrics of tomorrow today at every university and college , not only here in the Uk but Europe and beyond.

Many students first taste of realising their ambition of being a designer for the future is when they first see their own designs transferred onto a real garment. It’s been our pleasure to be part of this experience for many years and we are looking forwards to welcoming many more students into our design program in the future.

Remember when choosing a transfer to complement your garment it’s important to find out what the garment is made from. The last thing you want to do is choose a garment that needs to be washed at 90 degrees and find its maximum washing temperature is only 40 degrees.
Is your customers garment a promotional giveaway or something that has to last over 50 washes. At TreKo our main aim is to get you the right product at the right price for the budget your customer can afford whilst getting the best quality.

When it comes to the production there are many things to think about not only from our side but your customers side.
The better the artwork you supply us the faster we can have your artwork proof back to you. Colour matching can take time and adds to your turnaround times, it’s always worth asking if your customers know the pantone colours of their company logo.
Carrier films are a massive point to think about, Polyester might be more expensive but can speed up application times by more than twice.

Application temperatures and pressure used when applying the final product to the garment is one of the most important but overlooked parts of the procedure.
It’s important the adhesive backer is fully melted and the correct pressure is applied when pressing the garment. Application instructions will be sent out on all orders to help the process be as easy as possible.
