What are Laser Copy Colour Cards & why are they Important?
These are high-quality copies of the producer’s colour cards and are essential tools for swimwear designers and brand owners.
With these, you can see real-life examples of all the colour cards on our Fabric page. Use these to help you choose & match the perfect colours when designing your collection.
What can they help with?
Colour matching: When designing your swimwear collection, it’s crucial to choose and match the perfect colours. Laser Copy Colour Cards allow you to compare different shades and tones, so you can make better decisions about colour combinations and ensure consistency throughout your brand.
Unexpected Variations: By using Laser Copy Colour Cards, you can avoid differences between what you see on the screen and the actual colours of the fabrics. This eliminates the risk of selecting a colour online and finding a difference when it arrives.
What are Fabric Swatches & why are they Important?
These are real samples of all the different fabrics available, vital to the success of a collection.
These are used to compare the overall feel and look of the fabric so you can better understand the fabric you will be working with for your collection.
What can they help you with?
Comparison: With Fabric Swatches, you can compare the overall look and feel of various fabric options side by side. This enables you to evaluate their different characteristics.
Quality assessment: Fabric Swatches allow you to assess the vibrancy and depth of colour and the silkiness and overall feel of the fabrics to ensure that the materials you select meet your quality standards and align with your brand’s aesthetic requirements.
