Waterproofed Embroidered Badges

At ETC Supplies we are always listening to customers and coming up with solutions to their problems.

One problem area has been embroidered badges applied to outerwear such as rain jackets etc. The embroidery gets wet and soaks up the water. As this happens the embroidery thread expands (soaking up the water like a sponge) and then when it contracts it reduces in size, but never back to the same sharpness as the original. The more often this happens, the greater the wear and tear on the embroidery. The embroidery thread gets weaker as it gets wetter so it deteriorates during wear.

Now ONLY at ETC Supplies can you get the answer to this problem. We have a special water proofing liquid that you can sponge onto the front of the embroidery that will make it waterproof. This will last on average for 10 machine wash cycles at 40°C and then after this period the embroidery can be recoated if need be.

You can see the badge on the left has not been treated. The badge on the right has been treated with our Cotton Proof Waterproofing.

If you buy our embroidered badges then we can apply this waterproofing for a small additional cost.
