How to ensure color consistency in a bulk order of Throw&Blanket

If you are ordering a significant quantity of throws and blankets, it’s critically important that they look the same color. Picture if half of your blankets are bright blue and the rest just a smidgen more greenish or faded. That would be a problem! At Helhoya, we understand how important it is to find that right color when you have more than one product being seen together. Keeping color consistent across numerous blankets is a challenge. It requires careful work, quality tools and paying meticulous attention to each step from dyeing to packaging. A lot can happen in prepping, which can affect color outcome, and if you’re not watching out for it then the blankets will just not match up. So here’s how to maintain color consistency and what might cause colors to change during large orders

How to Maintain Color Consistency in Wholesale Blanket and Throw Purchases

Preserving color in huge orders of throws and blankets requires more than finding the perfect dye. At Helhoya, we always begin with good communication about the color you desire. We rely on color swatches that reflect precisely how the final product should appear. These samples are put through many tests before being produced, to ensure perfection. Next the dyeing process is tightly monitored in manufacturing phase. For instance, dye bath temperature and the time of the fabric’s immersion are constantly verified. If the water is too warm, or if the fabric remains in it too long, then the color may come out either too dark or too light. Also, the machines have to be cleaned rigorously between batches in order to prevent colors from mixing. The other big thing is the material. Colors get absorbed differently by different fabrics, so what kind of fabric you choose will affect the final result. At Helhoya, we dye it to suit the fabric for maximum results. Occasionally, the order is so large that it’s filled in smaller lots. We compare each batch to the color sample for any differences that we can catch early. If we notice any alteration, we correct it before the next batch begins. This makes all the blankets look like they are cut from the same cloth. Shipping and storing also matter. Their colors can fade if they remain in the sun or become extremely dirty. So after production we package throws and store them carefully to maintain fresh colors. “Buyers at retail stores can stall and hold product until the color of fruit meets a certain standard because there isn’t this attention to detail, but customers tell us they appreciate it because that saves them from unhappy buyers who want perfect color every time

What influences mass production of throws and blankets when matching color

Matching colors in large quantities is tough to do. Lots of things can cause the colors to look different, right down even if the dye is identical. In the first instance, what is being worked on is not the same. For example, cotton and polyester grab color in vastly different ways. And even within the same type of fabric, slight variations in how the yarn is spun can alter shade. Then, the dye will do weird things itself. Some dyes won’t hold up well, or fade more quickly, if the water has particular minerals. If a factory uses water with too high levels of minerals, the color may appear dull. We would also test if the water was good at Helhoya. Another factor is the machines. If one of the machines is older or worn out, it won’t dye the fabric uniformly. Sometimes the fabric moves too quickly or too slowly, altering how a color takes hold. The people who work on the machines also influence their results. Training is crucial, as little mistakes like mixing colors in the wrong sequence or failing to clean machines thoroughly can spoil an entire batch. And factory illumination counts for something as well! Colors in yellowish light can appear very different than colors in daylight. That’s why we test colors in multiple lighting conditions. Factory temperature and humidity can also be a factor. When it’s very humid, the fabric can dry so slowly that color may be uneven. If blankets are packed too tightly or stacked indiscriminately on top of one another, the colors can rub and alter. At Helhoya, we pack the throws with soft wrapping materials and individual layers. Numbers will eventually smudge or colors can fade or change even after they are made if blankets are kept in areas with strong sunlight and/or heat. With so many variables that can affect color, it’s important to control every step. Which is why Helhoya works prohibitively closely to client and factory teams, shares information, checks up lots. Everyone is watching, the finished product fits just right and customers can order large quantities without fear

Where to Get Dependable Color and Dye Manufacturers for Blankets That Can Be Matched

Dye can change, but when you are making a big order of throws and blankets, it’s really important to use dyes that give the same color every time. The first step in ensuring that all of your blankets look identical is to find a good dye supplier. Here at Helhoya, we understand that selecting the right dye vendor can help prevent your colors from looking different. A trustworthy dyes supplier will use best quality dyes contrived in controlled environment. This means you will not see the color change from your first to last batch. An easy way to find these suppliers is by requesting samples. Examine how the color appears on the fabric and whether it remains unchanged after washing. You might also ask the supplier how they do it. Good suppliers keep such meticulous records and adhere to strict guidelines so that each batch of dye is identical. Another tip is to select suppliers that may offer certificates or test reports. These papers confirmed that the dye meets quality requirements and is safe to use. And it's also nice if the supplier can do custom dye mixing. This allows them to match up specific colors, for the type of blankets Helhoya wants. Another reason is when you’re sourcing dyes from the same place, it’s simpler to ensure that the color will remain consistent. But also consider how quickly the supplier can get dyes to you. If the vendor is slow or wins out, that means delays, and might force you to switch dye batches, which can mean a different color. At Helhoya, we always utilize reliable dye suppliers who satisfy each of these needs. That way we can stay on top of making sure our throws and blankets are still coming out just the right color for these big orders

Common Color Variation Issues In Large Blanket Orders & How to Prevent Them

One big issue that can arise when you order a bunch of throws and blankets is color variation. Other times blankets that are supposed to be the same color look slightly different. That’s color variation, and customers do not like it. Helhoya has learned how to prevent that by taking a few simple measures. 'We start by keeping the whole dyeing process under control. That requires ensuring the temperature, time and quantity of dye match from one batch to the next. Small alterations can change how colors appear. Next, the fabric itself matters. If the blankets come from separate lots of fabric, it is possible that their colors won’t be an exact match. So, Helhoya inspects the quality of fabric and attempts to cut items using the same batch of fabric. A test order can be placed before the actual order is put in to avoid color problems. That means dyeing a small sample and observing it closely. Changes can be made before the big work starts, if the color is not right. And also colors should be monitored during production. Color meters and other special tools can also be used to measure the color, and identify any differences in it, early on. If there’s a problem, the process can be corrected before more blankets are produced. Packing and shipping can also have an impact on color, finally. Blankets should be kept away from indirect sunlight and humidity as they can make the color fade. Here at Helhoya, we pack with care and have great shipping methods to maintain color longevity. By doing everything from fabric to shipping, Helhoya ensures that every blanket in a large order looks like the others
