Focus on Embroidery GS UK Backings adapted to produce face masks
As the world changed in 2020 and the wearing of face masks became the new normal, the applications of many GS UK products have been adapted. Gunold non-woven backings that are usually used as embroidery stabilisers are now becoming really popular for the production of face masks. Both tear-away and cut-away non-woven backings in different weights are being used as mask inserts.
Stephan Gunold, marketing manager at Gunold, explains: “The tear-away non-wovens are thin, hardly show at all and are ideal for inserting into the masks to retain the droplets. The cut-away
non-wovens are perfect when they're to be sewn into the mask." Among the tear-away non-wovens, the 1640 and 1650 weights are particularly popular. For cut-away non-wovens, the 2040 weight is in demand. In addition, for those who embroider directly on to a face mask, Stick Protect is an ideal product for preventing the back of the embroidery irritating the wearer. After embroidering, the Stick Protect is applied on the reverse of the embroidered area to create a smooth finish to the face mask.
