Neck Ties & Scarves — a quick reference guide

How is our logo / motif incorporated onto the tie?

There are two types of motif tie; Woven ties and Printed ties. 

In a woven tie your design is first converted into a unique 'jacquard' card, which then controls the weaving process. Your motif is woven into the cloth from which the ties are made.

'Foulard' printed ties are produced by dying the design using screens into fabric, which is then made into ties or ladies scarves.

Polyester is popular because it looks good, handles well and being easily washable it is ideal for everyday use. 

Silk ties carry a certain 'prestige' and are perfect for special occasions, commemoratives and when only the best will do..

How many neck ties or ladies scarves do I need to order?

The minimum is 50 ties, although 100 is more economical. There are sizable discounts for larger quantities. 

Whilst this is the most asked question it is the most difficult to answer without some idea of the quality and quantity required, our sales office will give prices by phone. fax or e-mail.

From receipt of the order, we aim to submit a sample in 2/3 weeks. From approval of the sample, bulk delivery is usually 3/4 weeks. We can deliver in a much shorter timeframe if we are working to an agreed deadline. We will always try to make your date.

Yes you can have one motif in the underknot position and a different motif off-set at the base of the tie. On all-over designs it is possible to have alternating rows of different designs.

Do I get help in designing my ideal tie or scarf?

You know your organisation better than we do so yours would be the important input. But we work closely with you providing computer-generated scale coloured artwork  and any other design help necessary to help finalise your design. You provide the logo, we provide design sheets full of ideas, and after a consultation produce a first piece of artwork free of charge.

Will I see a sample tie or scarf?

Yes. Once the design has been resolved and the order placed we will provide a fabric sample for your final approval before going ahead with the rest of the order.
