    Embroidery

    Embroidery is a craftsmanship technique that involves decorating fabric or other materials using needle and thread. It allows the creation of patterns, text, and images by utilizing different types of threads, colors, and designs. Embroidery is typically done using embroidery needles, embroidery threads, and fabric. The needles come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different embroidery techniques and effects. Embroidery threads can be made of various materials such as cotton, silk, wool, metallic threads, and more. The choice of fabric is also essential, including common options like cotton, linen, silk, etc.

    Embroidery techniques encompass a variety of stitches and methods, such as flat embroidery, 3D embroidery, cross-stitch, pattern embroidery, and embroidered patches. Each technique has its unique characteristics and effects. Embroidery can be applied to decorate garments, home furnishings, accessories, gifts, and various other items.

    At Touches Dark, we continuously develop and innovate our embroidery techniques. Our traditional hand embroidery not only holds practical value but also showcases the pursuit and creativity of our designers. It is a distinctive form of artistic expression and a carrier of cultural values and ideals. Additionally, we also utilize machine embroidery and computerized embroidery for automation. These technologies expedite the embroidery process while preserving the beauty and artistic value of embroidery.

    Reflective

    Reflective printing boosts visibility and safety in dim settings, applying reflective materials to fabrics for patterns, text, or edging. Common in sportswear, outdoor gear, and safety attire, it uses several application methods:


    Reflective Printing: Utilizes special inks for screen, flexo, or digital printing, enabling broad reflective areas and intricate designs.

    Heat Transfer Reflective: Transfers pre-made reflective motifs or text onto fabrics via heat, ideal for logos or small decorative elements.

    Sewing Reflective Materials: Attaches reflective tapes or threads to clothes for edge detailing, popular in safety wear.

    Touches Dark applies reflective printing to customize dark-themed tees, enhancing visibility and style in low light. Light striking these prints reflects back, making wearers highly visible. Our range of fabrics and techniques offers diverse reflective outcomes. For bespoke reflective designs, contact us for detailed printing info!

    Gradient

    Gradient design in fashion blends colors smoothly across garments, creating visual interest. At Touches Dark, we employ gradients in various ways:

    Color Transition: Garments evolve from light to dark hues or shift between colors, achieved by dyeing, printing, or weaving techniques, enhancing artistic appeal.

    Pattern Gradient: Custom patterns feature gradual color changes, created through digital printing, screen printing, or embroidery, lending depth and dynamism.

    Gradient Fabrics: We use materials with inherent color gradients, like silk or wool, directly in T-shirt production for unique visuals.

    Gradient Accessories: Scarves, socks, and tapes with gradient effects complement T-shirt designs, enriching personal style.

    Gradients introduce soft transitions, bold contrasts, and fluid movement to clothing, making them more engaging and visually satisfying.

  • Batik

    Batik

    Batik is a traditional handicraft technique that holds significant importance in both traditional cultures and contemporary fashion design. It involves applying wax to fabric to create patterns or decorative effects during the dyeing process.

    Technical process: The batik process typically involves three steps: wax application, dyeing, and wax removal. Firstly, hot melted wax is applied to the fabric, creating barriers that prevent dye penetration. Then, the fabric is immersed in dye, which seeps into the areas without wax. Finally, the wax is removed, revealing the batik patterns and decorations.

    Patterns and decorative effects: Batik can create a wide range of patterns and decorative effects. Common patterns include geometric designs, botanical motifs, animal patterns, and can also incorporate creative and personalized designs. Due to its handmade nature, each batik garment is a unique work of art.

    Touches Dark uses batik in their custom streetwear designs, blending traditional and vintage styles with contemporary designs to create stylized clothing styles. The use of batik also reflects the complexity and uniqueness of the craft.

  • Rivet

    Rivet

    Rivet is a common decorative element that involves fastening metal or plastic studs through materials like fabric or leather. There are various types and styles of rivets available for personal customization, including flat rivets, pointed rivets, round rivets, cone-shaped rivets, and more. We can choose the appropriate type of rivet based on your design requirements and style.

    Fastening method: Rivets typically consist of two parts: a bottom-fixed stud and a top cover. The bottom stud is threaded through the fabric or leather, and then the top cover is secured onto the stud using tools to ensure that the rivet is firmly fixed to the garment.

    As a decorative element, rivets add detail and accents to clothing, creating unique styles and fashion personalities. They are commonly seen on denim jeans, denim jackets, and denim vests, where they can be incorporated into pockets, belt loops, back designs, and other areas to enhance the charm of denim fashion. Rivets are also frequently used for leather garment decoration, applied to leather jackets, leather shorts, leather shoes, and more, to add a sense of fashion and individuality to leather clothing.

    Touches Dark designers interpret punk style with rivets: in the production of the dark series of streetwear series, rivets are used for decoration to create rebellious, exaggerated and distinctive T-shirts, highlighting the image of the wearer.

    Rivets are a commonly used decorative element in custom clothing. We can add rivets to specific positions on the garment according to your needs and designs to achieve the desired personalized and customized effect.

    Patchwork or Splicing

    Patchwork in custom clothing combines diverse fabrics to craft distinctive designs. Here’s how it works at our studio:


    Contrast & Layering: Mixing fabrics by color, texture, and type creates eye-catching contrasts and layered looks, enriching the garment's aesthetic.

    Focal Point Enhancement: Strategic placement of patchwork on shoulders, collars, or cuffs draws attention, highlighting design elements and adding depth.

    Custom Patterns: Intricate designs, shapes, and artful embellishments are possible through patchwork, ensuring each piece is uniquely yours.

    Style Expression: Whether dark, sporty, or vintage, patchwork lets us embody specific themes, giving clothes character and style relevance.

    Our methods—hand or machine stitching—offer either bespoke finesse or efficient uniformity, catering to both artisanal preference and practical production needs.

  • Hot Transfer

    Sublimation Printing

    Sublimation Printing

    Hot transfer and sublimation printing are key methods for customizing clothing designs. Here’s a simplified breakdown:

    Hot Transfer: Directly applies heat and pressure to bond decals or films onto fabric, offering a seamless, three-dimensional look. Ideal for everyday wear like T-shirts and single-design applications.

    Sublimation Printing: Uses heat to infuse dye into fabric, allowing for full-color, detailed graphics. Can result in a slight film-like layer, but is versatile for complex patterns across various clothing types.

    Both methods enable personalization with logos, patterns, text, and decorative elements, catering to branding, style expression, and unique fashion statements.

  • Puff Printing

    Screen Printing

    Screen Printing

    Screen Printing

    Screen printing,involves using a specially prepared mesh screen to create the desired pattern or design. The process begins by preparing the necessary mesh screen and ink. The ink is applied to the mesh screen, which is then placed on the fabric. A squeegee is used to push the ink through the mesh screen onto the fabric, creating the printed pattern or design. Finally, the mesh screen is removed from the fabric, leaving the printed design behind.

    Screen printing can achieve various patterns and designs, including text, images, graphics, and complex artwork. Designs can be created by making customized mesh screens, allowing for personalized customization. You can choose to print logos, trademarks, or identifiers on commercial brand clothing to enhance brand visibility and promotional effects.

    At Touches Dark, we use screen printing, foam printing, and pad printing techniques to create dark element patterns on custom T-shirts. We can print single-color or multi-color designs, including various images, letters, graphics, and more.

    If you're looking to customize a logo or brand design, silk screen printing can achieve complex patterns and artistic effects such as cartoon characters or animal prints, adding personality and uniqueness to your custom design. Our silk screen printing technique ensures long-lasting and high-quality prints on clothing, suitable for various fabrics and garment styles. If you have any further ideas, feel free to contact us!

    Rhinestone

    Rhinestone application, also known as hot fix crystal decoration or rhinestone decoration, involves attaching heat-set rhinestones to fabric to create a sparkling effect. These heat-set rhinestones are typically made of glass, acrylic, or plastic.

    The process of rhinestone application involves determining the design pattern and placement of the rhinestones, selecting suitable heat-set rhinestones, and using specialized heating tools such as a hot fix rhinestone machine or heat press. These tools are equipped with heating heads or nozzles that can adhere the heat-set rhinestones to the fabric by controlling the temperature and pressure. The desired position for the heat-set rhinestones is marked on the fabric, and then the heating tool is used to heat the rhinestones. During the heating process, the heat-set rhinestones melt or soften, allowing them to adhere to the fabric. Once the heat-set rhinestones are attached to the fabric, they quickly solidify and become firm. Afterward, a waiting period is required to allow for cooling and complete curing.

    One of the advantages of rhinestone application is its versatility and flexibility. Heat-set rhinestones come in various shapes, colors, and sizes, allowing our designers to freely combine and create unique designs. When combined with other decorative techniques such as embroidery, beads, or velvet, it can result in even more diverse and captivating effects. If you're looking to add a touch of sparkle to your customized garments, then rhinestone application is the perfect choice for you!

    Neutralization & Rinsing: Acid is neutralized, followed by thorough rinsing to eliminate residue.

    Dehydration & Drying: Excess water is removed and garments are dried properly.

    Finishing: Clothes regain shape and finish through pressing.

    Dye: Apply or soak the fabric in dye, coloring the unbound parts.

    Set: Fix the dye to ensure it bonds with the fabric.

    Finish: Rinse out excess dye, dry, and press the garment.
