How to create your  
customized curtain fabric 

a step by step guide

Vescom recognizes the value that customization can add to today’s international contract interiors. That’s why we offer architects and designers bespoke material solutions, including digital printing for curtains and sheers.

Vescom Curtain+Print can provide a customized, unique addition to a space’s atmosphere and identity. Imbuing interiors with tactility and comfort, our digitally printed curtain and sheer fabric solutions can regulate light and temperature, soften reverberation and the space itself, or connect or divide a room. They offer the opportunity to adjust spaces to support productivity and wellbeing – all with a personalized aesthetic.

But, how does it work exactly? How do you create a customized digitally printed curtain fabric that adds character and an extra dimension to your next project? Well, let us break it down for you. In this blog, we'll guide you through the process of taking your image through to a customized curtain fabric. We explain how to prepare your imagery, select your fabric, and compile your specifications before handing the project over to our expert team to translate it into the perfect result.

this is how it works 

STEP 1 
prepare your imagery 

Whether you provide us with imagery that’s realistic or abstract – a pattern, structure or motif, or even text-based – we will translate it into a curtain or sheer fabric with the perfect colour and/or pattern repeat in a function that fits your needs (e.g. acoustic, black out, dim out).

 

In our Curtain+Print manual you can read everything about image requirements: file formats, colour profiles, proportions and repeats. Download your copy here.

STEP 2 
select your fabric 

Vescom Curtain+Print is available in a range of seven different structured fabrics with different functional solutions – a mix of dense and open weaves, solid and transparent options, and matte and sheen yarns. From the natural look of transparent sheer Swan+Print to the tight weave of dim out curtain Bedra+Print to acoustic offering Marmara+Print, which features a matte and a glossy side.

 

More information about the different structured fabrics and their possibilities can be found in our Curtain+Print manual.

STEP 3 
compile your specifications 

Once you’ve selected and prepared your image and decided on the fabric, all this information – together with your desired volume of printed curtain fabric – should be compiled and relayed to your Vescom sales contact, who will be on hand to guide you through the process. Only when all the necessary information is complete will the sales contact officially set your project in motion.

STEP 4 
translation of image to printed curtain fabric 

Our expert design team will then begin to translate your imagery into a fully integrated curtain or sheer fabric with the perfect colour and/or pattern repeat in a function that fits your needs (e.g. acoustic, black out, dim out). The first result of this translation process is an Info Document, which needs to be approved by the customer before the printed curtain fabric goes into production.

STEP 5 
production 

Because we engineer most of our fabrics in our own weaving mill, we have extensive knowledge about fabric construction and can guarantee the quality of our materials. By combining this knowledge with the expertise gained from many years of producing digitally printed wallcovering, we create on-demand digitally printed curtain and sheer fabrics of the highest quality.

We've developed a detailed manual that will guide you through the complete process of taking your image through to a customized curtain fabric.
