Social distancing has seemingly become the new norm for everyone. Maintaining a safe distance helps reduce the spread of COVID-19 and helps keep everyone safe. Sometimes it's on the individual to maintain proper social distancing, and sometimes a business or public space utilizes signs and markers to identify what that safe distance is.

Embroidery on Webbing

AI 2 min read

Updated On: Nov 21, 2023

Embroidery is a process of stitching a design or decoration into a material. We offer this capability on our webbing because the hook and loop does not allow for ease of function when embroidered. Stitching on hook and loop limits its usefulness. We often sew hook and loop, but that is done to provide a strong hold or reinforce the material. The stitching in those instances is done on the outer portions of the hook and loop, mostly in the selvage edge where no hook or loop is located.
