Screen printing (Traditional precision)

Traditional screen printing is considered the royal road for intense, durable designs in B2B textile production.

In this process, each colour is applied individually through a fine mesh screen onto the fabric.
The result is an unmatched colour application with extremely high opacity, which particularly unfolds its full effect on fine silk or robust microfibre.

For corporate identity designs with exact Pantone specifications, this system remains the most reliable choice in the global textile market.

Why is screen printing worthwhile for your accessories?

  • Exact colour fidelity: Perfect implementation of corporate identity specifications according to Pantone or RAL values.
  • High cost-effectiveness: Drastic reduction of unit costs for medium to large production quantities.
  • Durable quality: Extremely wash-resistant and abrasion-resistant printing results for daily use.
  • Optimal material dyeing: Perfect penetration, making the reverse side of fabrics appear almost identically brilliant.

For an international airline, we produced 5,000 exquisite silk scarves using screen printing.

The precise colour separation allowed the brand-specific Pantone colour to be realised without deviations.

The efficiency of the printing process reduced production costs by over 35 percent compared to other methods, while the appearance of crew members worldwide was standardised.

„In the high-volume B2B segment, screen printing remains the undisputed benchmark for uncompromising colour fidelity and cost-effectiveness.“

The investment in screen and film production pays off quickly.

If you are planning a long-term supply for your company and using standardised logos, this process offers you the best combination of budget adherence and premium quality.

We would be happy to check your design templates for feasibility in the classic screen printing process.

When is screen printing unsuitable?

If your design contains photorealistic motifs, complex colour gradients, or more than twelve individual colours, screen printing reaches its technical and economic limits.

Digital printing (Modern flexibility)

Digital printing has revolutionised the production of textile accessories and today holds a dominant market share in digital printing for complex patterns.

Similar to a high-resolution inkjet printer, the colour pigments are transferred directly from the computer to the material.

This allows for the realisation of photo-realistic prints, fine colour gradients, and extremely detailed patterns on ties, scarves, shawls, and twillies, which would be technically impossible with traditional screen printing.

What advantages does digital printing offer for small series?

  • Small minimum quantities: Economic production already with exclusive small editions or prototypes.
  • Unlimited colour variety: Seamless representation of millions of colour shades, gradients, and photographs.
  • Low upfront costs: As no printing screens are required, expensive setup costs are eliminated in advance.
  • Fast response time: Shortest production cycles for time-critical events or last-minute marketing actions.

A software company needed 150 individual neckerchiefs with a complex, multi-coloured circuit board pattern for an annual tech conference within fourteen days.

Thanks to digital workflows, we were able to implement the design directly with minimal upfront costs.

The waste rate in textile printing was close to zero, and the delivery was made on time directly to the event location.

„Digital printing breaks the chains of rigid minimum quantities and brings maximum agility to textile brand communication.“

This process is perfect for modern, dynamic designs and event setups.

The flexibility allows companies to adjust collections seasonally without incurring high investment risks.

How durable are digital prints on accessories?

Through state-of-the-art fixation processes, the colours penetrate deep into the fibre, resulting in modern digital prints having excellent light and wash fastness.

Noble jacquard weaving for exclusive identity

For high-quality ties, scarves and elegant shawls, jacquard weaving is the ultimate in elegance and value.

In this process, the logo or pattern is not printed on afterwards, but is created directly through the interlacing of coloured warp and weft threads in the loom.

This technique gives the fabric a tangible, three-dimensional structure (relief effect) and a heavy, luxurious feel, which is indispensable in the premium segment as well as in traditional club and association equipment.

Why should you choose woven accessories?

  • Tangible exclusivity: Unique textured surface that exudes quality and tradition.
  • Maximum durability: The pattern cannot fade or wear off, as it is part of the fabric.
  • Perfect tie knot: Woven fabrics have more grip and ensure a stable fit.
  • Subtle luxury: Possibility of tone-on-tone weaves for an elegant, understated branding.

A traditional private bank from Spain commissioned us to create a new employee collection.

We produced woven seven-fold ties and matching scarves made from pure silk.

The subtly woven logo gave the accessories a timeless elegance that reflects customer trust and sustainably strengthens employee loyalty.

„Woven identity conveys stability and artisanal perfection – values that rarely achieve the same depth when printed“

Woven ties, scarves, shawls, and twillies are a statement for consistency.

If you place the highest value on a representative appearance in the premium segment, there is no way around this classic method.

We accompany you from the first thread design to the finished premium product.

What is the minimum order quantity for woven ties?

Due to the high setup costs of modern Jacquard weaving looms, the economic minimum quantity for custom woven silk ties is usually 50 pieces. For scarves and shawls, it starts at around 100 pieces, depending on the material.

The choice of materials (The foundation)

The best production process is wasted without the right material base.

The choice of fabric not only affects wearing comfort but also significantly determines how colours and structures appear.

Pure silk offers unparalleled shine for ties, scarves and shawls, while innovative synthetic fibres such as microfibre or blended fabrics impress with their ease of care and durability in tough working conditions.

Sustainable options such as organic cotton or recycled polyester are rapidly gaining importance in the B2B sector.

Which material is suitable for your application?

  • Pure silk: The standard for top management, formal events and festive occasions.
  • High-quality microfibre: Ideal for hospitality, trade fair staff and promotions due to its high stain protection properties.
  • Modal & Viscose: Perfect for lightweight, flowing women's scarves with a pleasantly soft feel against the skin.
  • Wool & Cashmere: The first choice for warming, exclusive winter scarves in corporate design.

A hotel resort was looking for a uniform setup for service and reception.

We combined easy-care microfiber ties for the service staff with elegant silk scarves for the management.

This strategic material selection optimised the budget, minimised ongoing cleaning costs, and still maintained a completely harmonious, elegant overall appearance.

„The material is the canvas of your design – only the right fibre makes your brand message shine.“

The choice of material should always consider the everyday life of the wearers.

A cloth used at a trade fair must meet different criteria than an exclusive customer gift.

We advise you independently of manufacturers and analyse the requirements of your team to find the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Are there also certified eco-materials?

Yes, we offer a wide range of textiles with OEKO-TEX® certification or made from recycled materials (GRS) to support your sustainability goals.

Frequently asked questions about: ties, scarves, custom-made shawls

In screen printing, colours are transferred onto the fabric through a mesh. This method is particularly suitable for clear, simple designs with few colours and is ideal for larger production quantities, as it offers high durability of the colours.

Digital printing allows for complex, detailed designs with nearly unlimited colour variety – photographic motifs are also possible. This technique is particularly flexible and is well-suited for smaller quantities or personalised productions.

In woven production, patterns are directly woven into the fabric. This results in high-quality, elegant products with a durable appearance. This technique is ideal for logos and classic designs; however, colour gradients are only possible to a limited extent.

Conclusion

The perfect production of corporate accessories requires the interplay of the right design, optimal manufacturing technique, and the right material.

While screen printing excels in large quantities due to efficiency, digital printing allows for maximum creativity in small runs.

Jacquard weaving remains the first choice for timeless elegance in the premium segment.
