INDUSTRY NEWS www.images-magazine.com 12 images JUNE 2021 Visit us on Facebook: @imagesmaguk Want to know what your industry colleagues really think of the garments and accessories they decorate? Each issue, one reader tells us why they rate a particular product Mark Handy, tenders officer at Direct Corporate Clothing in Oldbury, says his favourite garment to decorate is the Granite Panacea Soft Shell Jacket (SS3G3) from Orbit International. “This softshell is loved throughout our client base, and is a great base for branded workwear.” The SS3G3 is perfect for businesses that require a smart corporate or professional image, plus it is a practical outerwear garment that’s both functional and comfortable, he explains . “Its breathable and waterproof membrane ensures the softshell can be worn throughout the year to provide some protection from the British weather,” adds Mark. Available in a wide size range from XS-4XL, the 290gsm softshell is made from a three-layer, polyester/spandex blended fabric with side pockets and velcro cuff adjusters. Ready to brand, the SS3G3 can be decorated with embroidery, as well as screen and transfer print. Mark’s top tip for decorating the softshell: large designs on the back of the garment will look great printed with heat transfer, while embroidery is his go-to application method for left chest logos. www.directcorporate.co.uk imagesmag.uk/Readers-Choice-DCC READERS’ CHOICE ZSK targets new embroiderers with Sprint Classic single-head machine Stocks Sewing Machines has announced the latest addition to ZSK’s Sprint Series, the Sprint Classic.
