It is a fact that two coloured fabrics which match when viewed under one light source may differ under another light source - a phenomenon known as illuminant metamerism. Until now, there has been no cost-effective product on the market to demonstrate metamerism using textile samples.

In the new SDC product, the set of four cotton samples demonstrates illuminant metamerism, through a careful selection of dyes. This set of dyed fabric samples in a handy A4 size was therefore developed so that the visual effect could be shown and used in all industries.

Stocks sewing solution

In the current economic climate cutting costs is essential, from office rental to the price of travel, when starting up a business all these elements need to be considered, and as the Peterborough chain, uniforms4all recently found out, Stocks Sewing Machines had all their needs neatly sewn up in a cost-effective solution.

Providing a wide range of school uniforms, club uniforms, and other sporting and corporate requirements across the UK, Uniforms4all, pride themselves on offering a bespoke embroidery service and were keen to find an embroidery supplier who could offer them with a specialist embroidery machine to encourage both productivity and profitability.

Owner of Uniforms4all, Tracey Compton, said, "Embroidery for our uniforms are usually bespoke designs and because we do not benefit from economies of scale, it is quite costly to outsource this type of work. On top of the actual costs for the work, we also had to consider carriage expenses. See www.stocks.co.uk
