Different Textile Printing Machines

Textile printing is a method by which colour is applied to fabric in distinct patterns and designs, as opposed to the method of dyeing the whole piece of fabric. The printing process needed is usually determined by the intended use of the fabric. There are many different ways of doing this and over the years methods and processes have changed a lot!

At Focus Label we manufacture textile printing machines for textile labels. These labels hold a lot of important information such as branding information, washing instructions, sizing and measurements etc. They are sewn into the products during their manufacturing.

There a number of different textile printing machines on the market, so here is a quick guide to some of the machines that we manufacture at Focus Label:
