Why Is Color Fastness Testing Important for Metallic Jersey?
Metallic jersey is worn close to the skin and washed often. The metallic yarn and the elastane behave differently from the base knit, so color bleeding, loss of width or surface pilling can appear in the finished garment.
Testing the fabric against recognized methods gives buyers written evidence for their own performance standard, and confirms that the fiber content stated on the label matches the fabric.
Does This Test Report Apply to All Naying Textile Fabrics?
No. This test report applies only to the specific fabric sample identified in the report, in the color and fiber composition listed above.
Knitted fabrics differ in yarn, construction and finishing, so results do not carry over from one article to another. Buyers should confirm the testing requirements for their own article before development or bulk production.
If you have specific testing requirements for your metallic or embroidered fabric, please share your target market, fabric specification and performance standard with us. We can agree the right test program before development or bulk production.
