Capstone · Apparel Printing, Embroidery and Value Addition

Develop one decoration and prove it survives wear

A style needs a multi-colour chest decoration on a cotton-elastane knit, with a wash and wear requirement. You choose the process, develop it and prove it.

Who this is for: Printing and embroidery technicians, product developers, QA and merchandisers.

What you produce: A decoration development file: process choice, technical parameters, test plan with results criteria, and the chemical and safety controls.

Nobody marks this for you. Write your own answer, compare it with the guidance under each task, then mark the capstone done when you are satisfied with it. Your writing is saved on this device, and to your account when you sign in.
