As a professional reflective materials manufacturer, YSM will introduce in detail the sewing method of reflective T/C fabric tape on clothing, the product life after application, and how to carry out effective care and maintenance.

Sewing method of reflective T/C fabric tape

T/C reflective fabric tape is a reflective material composed of a polyester/cotton blended substrate and a high-performance reflective material, which is widely used on various types of clothing. In order to ensure that the reflective tape has the best adhesion and reflective effect on clothing, the sewing process needs to pay special attention to the following key points:

Choose the right needle and thread:

·Use medium-thick needles (such as 14-16 needles) and high-strength polyester thread for sewing to ensure that the stitching is firm and durable.

·Make sure the stitches match the reflective tape and clothing materials to avoid the problem of unthreading due to insufficient thread strength.

Needle length and sewing method:

·Use a denser stitch length (3-4mm) for sewing to ensure that the reflective tape is firmly fixed on the clothing and avoid loosening.
·Common sewing methods include single-needle sewing, double-needle sewing or overlock sewing. Choose the appropriate sewing method according to the design and use requirements of the clothing.

Precautions during sewing:

·During the sewing process, the reflective T/C cloth tape needs to be kept flat to avoid creases or wrinkles to ensure its appearance and reflective effect.
·After sewing, the stitches should be carefully checked to see if they are even and firm to ensure the stability and durability of the tape during use.

Product life

After the reflective T/C cloth tape is sewn onto the clothing, its service life depends on many factors, including wearing frequency, cleaning method, use environment, etc. Under normal circumstances, under the premise of proper use and maintenance, YSM reflective T/C cloth tape can maintain its good reflective performance and durability for several years. The following are the main factors affecting its life:

·Cleaning method: Improper cleaning method may accelerate the wear and aging of the reflective material, thereby affecting its life.
·Frequency of use: High frequency of wearing and cleaning will cause certain wear and tear on the reflective tape, which may shorten its service life.
·Environmental conditions: The life of reflective tape may be affected under extreme conditions (such as heat, humidity or exposure to chemicals).

Care and maintenance

To extend the life of reflective T/C cloth tape on clothing, here are some care and maintenance suggestions:

Washing precautions:

·It is recommended to hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle, and the water temperature should not exceed 40°C to prevent damage to the reflective material.

·Use neutral detergents and avoid detergents containing bleach or strong chemicals, which may damage the surface of the reflective material.

·Turn the garment over when washing to minimize direct friction with the reflective tape and protect its surface integrity.

Ironing and drying:

·It is not recommended to iron the reflective T/C cloth tape directly. If ironing is required, please operate at low temperature and cover with a layer of cloth as a protective layer.

·Garments should be dried naturally and avoid using a tumble dryer to prevent the negative impact of high temperature on the reflective material.

Storage suggestions:

·When storing clothing, try to avoid long-term stacking or heavy pressure. It is recommended to hang it to prevent the tape from affecting the appearance and functionality due to folding or creasing.
·The storage environment should be kept dry and ventilated, and avoid humid and high temperature environments to prevent material aging.
