What is industrial & contract sewing?


High-quality industrial sewing is crucial for the textile, military, athletics, and industrial sectors. Using durable machines, various techniques assemble fabrics like canvas, cotton, PVC, vinyl, and nylon. Services include sewing, embroidery, and embossing for customized products. With diverse materials and specialized machines, industries receive durable, finished pieces.


Carolina CoverTech excels in industrial sewing, using the right machines and materials to create durable, weather-resistant products tailored to your project needs.

Precision Industrial Sewing Solutions


Industrial sewing differs fundamentally from domestic sewing. The following aspects outline the differences between the two:

Machine Types/Sizes

Small in size and built for medium productivity at best, domestic sewing machines provide the right level of functionality for sewing enthusiasts. These versatile machines can sew different materials and stitches, but due to small motors, they can run only a few hours daily.


When it comes to industrial sewing, superior product quality requires large motor industrial sewing machinery. Heavy-duty industrial sewing machines spin via large external motors. Specialized according to product needs, these machines break into varieties such as flatbed, post-bed, cylinder-bed, and off-the-arm machines. The material feed for each of these machines also varies. Due to their robust motors, industrial sewing machines run for long periods of time to achieve much higher volumes than even the most robust consumer sewing equipment.

Stitches

Domestic sewing machines do have the ability to produce a variety of stitch types, such as straight stitch, zigzag, overcasting, and blind hem stitches. Nevertheless, industrial sewing avails more stitches with much greater refinement. Within a factory setting, each industrial sewing machine performs a single, specific stitch or task such as reinforcing fabric, creating buttonholes, or attaching buttons. Cutting out the reliance on human memory for stitches and patterns, programmable computerized industrial sewing machines efficiently meet demands for high-quality products.

Materials

Different materials suit either domestic and industrial sewing better. Domestic sewing works best for lighter fabrics. Industrial sewing is more accommodating and uses high-powered machinery to sew a variety of heavy materials. Sewing many layers of different materials at one time can be difficult with domestic sewing machines. However, industrial sewing machines can sew several layers of both similar materials and different materials at once.

Advantages of Industrial Sewing


Industrial sewing provides many advantages, including:

Mass production: Using machines with external motors capable of sewing at more than 5,000 rpm, industrial sewing machines fulfill large orders in a timely fashion.


Automation: Industrial sewing involves automated processes, which is especially useful when sewing long fabrics. Programmable machines enable consistency in production quality, accuracy, stitch repeatability, and time.


Better quality: Stitches produced from industrial sewing are refined and durable.

Industries that Benefit from Industrial Sewing:

Aerospace

Agriculture

Athletics

Construction

Horticultural

Manufacturing

Medical

Military

Recreational

Transportation

and many others


As these industries continue to innovate, the industrial sewing services available must change to cater to those new needs in the market.
