EAST WALPOLE, MASS. – August 17, 2007 – Hollingsworth & Vose Company (H&V), a leading supplier of engineered papers and nonwovens, has announced the availability of a new cap backing material for high-stitch-
“Ideal for manufacturers and embroiderers who use multiple layers on stitch designs, the breakthrough material stabilizes stitch designs on large areas with three-dimensional effects, as well as on structured and unstructured caps,” said Jim Vogt, H&V Director of Sales and Marketing for Industrial Specialties.
The new, robust material was developed in collaboration with a major U.S. cap manufacturer.
“The manufacturer encountered problems such as backing perforation when using multiple layer designs and turned to H&V to create a material that could overcome these challenges,”
A recent addition to H&V’s StitchBackers line of embroidery backings, the Grade 3045 is specially formulated of cellulose/polyester and contains more polyester than traditional backing, providing perforation resistance.
“By enabling a more uniform design and registration, manufacturers and embroiderers can utilize Grade 3045 to gain a competitive advantage over standardized backings and improve productivity,”
