In observing the market trends and developments over the last several years and creating solutions for the future, Wilcom and Corel software has truly become an integral part of a decorator's business. This strategic partnership was announced earlier this year, and we've only seen a taste of what is to come! Hold on to your hats...

Wilcom is globally recognised for producing the number one embroidery design software Wilcom EmbroideryStudio - or ES. Launched in 1980 this was the world's first CAD/CAM Embroidery design software. Since then, Wilcom has continued develop a range of software applications specifically for this industry - based on quality, innovation and a true understanding of what makes a decorations business - better by design.

It's not just software

As long-term industry leader, Wilcom knows and understands the support you need to make your business better by design. That's why when you purchase Wilcom software you become part of Wilcom's global community, which offers free technical support, training and a committed partner for the future.

Plus, Wilcom software integrates with all major embroidery machine brands - meaning your choice of software doesn't have to be governed by your machine.

A committed partner for the future

We have all observed the growing need for decorators to diversify their services. It is no longer practical for many custom embroiderers to survive on one revenue stream, let alone compete in the market where customers want the choice of customising a range of goods in different ways. Embroiderers now need to invest in printing processes, and printers are turning towards embroidery which means they need to learn how to design, quote and produce these new processes quickly in order to be productive and profitable.

With developments in the fashion world visualisation of multi-decoration designs has become vital. Fashion trends are now very sophisticated in garment and home furnishing decorations with combinations of print, embroidery, appliqué and embellishments becoming increasingly available. This, as well as mass customisation - where consumers can interactively customize their own garment from leading fashion labels - means visualisation of multi-decoration designs is key.

In response to these market developments Wilcom's latest advancement is in partnership with graphic software company Corel Corporation. The new generation of Wilcom products, combined with CorelDRAW provides designers with a dynamic and fluid way of creating, visualising and producing multi-decoration designs. The combinations of embroidery, screen print, sequins and appliqué offers great potential and endless possibilities.

In addition, Wilcom and Corel have presented a true industry milestone - bringing the print and embroidery worlds together and leveraging from the familiar CorelDRAW platform to allow swift inter-conversion of print and embroidery designs. The learning curve for newcomers is now easier than ever with Wilcom DecoStudio, and the upgrade path to Wilcom EmbroideryStudio offers the most sophisticated and powerful design tools in the market.

Wilcom DecoStudio has certainly taken centre-stage for easy print and embroidery design. With such industry advancement it is no wonder that the new edition of acclaimed professional embroiderers' choice, Wilcom EmbroideryStudio (ES) has been much anticipated.
