Printed Silk Scarves
Silk Scarf Printing UK Made To Order
We pride ourselves in giving our customers pleasurable and unique shopping experiences with our custom scarf printing. Our exclusive custom scarves are all printed and made to order by our team of technicians right here in our London studio, with assistance and advice on hand at every point on your design journey. Elevate your fashion game with our personalised scarves that are tailored to perfection.
Whether you create your own scarf for women, for men, for practical use or just to look fabulous, our selection of custom silk scarves has something for everyone. Made to order in London with the utmost care and precision. When you design your own scarf with Contrado, you will be working with us to create a beautiful, handmade piece, completely unique to you. As well as printing everything in-house, we also cut and finish your tailor-made printed scarves by hand, with a tidy and fine baby hem. Update your look today with custom scarves and give your accessory collection a personalised boost.
Present your personalised silk scarf in a sturdy 220 mm x 160 mm x 24 mm tin case customised by you. Create a design that compliments your scarf or leave the tin unprinted. A handmade tin is a wonderful way to store your custom printed scarves or transport them without the risk of damage. Designed by you to add a custom touch.
Please note: As all of our custom printed scarves are handmade to order by real people, there will be some variance in the dimensions, measurements, and shape of the scarf. A predictable amount of shrinkage is likely to occur, this is normal and to be expected, and will be more apparent in the natural fabrics. The average shrinkage is 2-8%. Due to the natural softness of the high-quality fabrics we use, the edges of your custom scarf may be wavy. Note when selecting the Mulmul Muslin, this fabric is a naturally loose yarn, which may cause slight colour variations. This creates a slightly rustic finish that is truly unique. All custom printed scarves have a care label attached, if you would like to design your own label you can create an account and head to our branding station.
Also, our Cashmere Wool Fabric is woven on hand looms from these unique fibres. Due to this process, small flaws, imperfections and irregularities in the weave are to be expected. Occasional small white unprinted areas can occur, which is when fabric fluff falls off during processing, exposing unprinted fabric - again this is to be expected with a tolerance of approximately 1-2 dots per m² deemed acceptable. Hemmed edges are prone to scalloping on this material, and may not exactly match straight lines in your design, due to the nature of this material this is to be expected.
Print Guideline
-
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change colour using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
-
How will my image scale?
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
-
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
-
What is gsm?
Grams per square meter (gsm) is the unit of measurement used to measure the weight of a paper or fabric. This measurement uses the weight of one square metre (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a fabric. We classify fabrics of 10-100gsm as light (fabrics for summer, fine silk), fabrics of 101-249gsm as medium (most fabrics for clothing) and fabrics of more than 250gsm as thick (upholstery and other specialised fabrics).
-
What is the bleed area?
When creating your product, it is important to make sure that your image is a little wider than the size needed. In printing, the bleed area allows you to obtain a borderless print. We would advise filling the blead areas, maked with a red checkered area, to ensure you don't end up with white edges. You should make sure that you do not put important details within the bleed area as these will quite likely be lost.
-
What is crocking and why might it occur?
Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colours are used. It can be minimised by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.
-
Why do my colours appear lighter on organic fabrics?
Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibres, reducing the colour strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colours we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.
-
Can you perfectly join two separately printed panels?
We always try to provide the utmost precision in printing and manufacturing. However, due to unavoidable stretching or movement of the fabric at the time of sewing, we can not guarantee a perfect alignment of the pattern on the seams of the garment. Generally we are accurate to 2-3mm, which is sufficient for most reasons but can pose minor problems with patterns or geometric designs.
-
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
-
Is it possible to print your own label?
Most of our clothing is made with a label space. You can print your label and add information about your brand. If you want to sew your own labels, we offer customizable labels of different sizes.
-
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?
We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.
-
Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them like you do with the normal fabric labels?
At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.
-
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
-
Why are there slight colour differences between my orders?
We work at improving our colour profiles all the time. Though rare it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight colour differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such colour variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric; natural fabrics tend to have more muted colours than their poly alternatives. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, you may find a slight variance in the sizes.
What shapes of printed silk scarves are available?
How to wear a scarf really does depend on the shape. Because of this, we have created 4 totally wearable styles of custom made silk scarves for our diverse customers. Your printed silk scarf can be made into the following shapes: standard square, large square, wrap scarf or shawl and rectangle scarf. If you would like to see examples of each of these styles, please click through to the preview page.
Do you have warmer scarves available for winter?
As well as our custom silk scarves, which come in lightweight and drapy fabrics, we also make several other, slightly thicker scarves, which would be suitable for colder weather. Our personalised scarves are handmade from 2 layers of custom printed fleece, or you could design a neck tube scarf, which can be styled in 19 different ways. Stay warm and stylish with our collection of personalised scarves, including the luxurious personalised silk scarf.
Are there hemming options available for the scarves?
Yes, we offer hemming options for personalised scarves. We finish the edges with a hemming style of your choice, either baby hem or 3-thread overlock. Baby hem uses 8mm of material on each side, folded twice then a top stitch approximately 2-3mm from the edge. The 3 thread overlock trims off 3mm fabric, and has an overlock edge stitch. Due to the delicate nature of these beautiful fabrics, hems can be slightly wavy, but this adds to the authenticity of your personalised silk scarf.
