Significant Laser Design and Production Savings Targeted With Carbonlaze

RevoLaze, LLC (USA) recently launched CarbonLaze, a breakthrough software tool to automatically convert pictures of jeans into laser ready files. By greatly decreasing the time to create a laser file while keeping the authentic look of the denim standards, CarbonLaze strived to provide a much-needed solution to the rapidly expanding laser finishing market.

Speaking to RevoLaze about the launch of this new product after two months, we had an enthusiastic response from the RevoLaze team:

â€œOver 40 users from 15 different counties have already signed up and tested CarbonLaze software, resulting in 100s of laser files being created and available to use in production. The market reception has been filled with positive outcomes and satisfied customers.â€

Laser designers have realized the ease of use to convert files with CarbonLaze, including laser designer Myrm Sheikh in the Pakistan market who mentioned â€“

â€œCarbonLaze is very user-friendly software. As I observed in my development during the trial version, these kind of natural effects were not easy to draw before CarbonLazeâ€.
Myrm also was impressed that CarbonLaze files only needed â€œa few minutesâ€ of editing before they were ready for production.

DCC Clothingâ€™s Noman Khan, Manager of Laser Design and Production, stated that he â€œobserved that this software will be a solution to eliminate hand touch-ups.â€ Please see one of Nomanâ€™s designs below.

Along with denim manufacturers, several denim brands are also using CarbonLaze as per RevoLaze. These brands can now go back to their archive of vintage garments, quickly convert them with CarbonLaze and send the laser files to their manufacturers. By starting the laser file creation process with their internal design teams, they can ensure they get the exact natural and authentic look they want from the finished denim garment.

To assist with new and current users of CarbonLaze, RevoLaze has representation around the world to remotely or directly train employees and answer any questions. For the Asian market, RevoLaze has two country managers, Affan ur Rahim (Pakistan) and Ankur Chauhan (India), who have a combined 20 years of laser design and production experience.

This experience has been instrumental towards the creation and implementation of CarbonLaze, a software that Affan describes as â€œone of the greatest developments in laser technology.â€ For Affan,

â€œNormally, before CarbonLaze, we designers could spend a whole day to try to get our design to look natural. The result can be artificial. CarbonLaze resolved this issue as I get good characteristics on the fabric from the software. Overall, I am doing 5 hours of work in just 20 minutes.â€

RevoLaze has also started to partner with industry representatives, including GDS Chemical, to provide support to Bangladesh and other key countries.

RevoLaze gave another example of how their software works wonders:

â€œAnother of our customers took one of their vintage garments and converted it with CarbonLaze. In just a few minutes, a replica of the garment and wash characteristics were ready to be laser etched.â€

For more information on CarbonLaze online software, please go to https://www.carbonlaze.com or contact Ryan Ripley at info@carbonlaze.com. On the website, you will be able to trial the software and even watch a CarbonLaze design tutorial. The CarbonLaze membership is monthly and includes 12 downloads each month.

Bluezone By Munich Fabric Start Kicks Off On September 03

BLUEZONEÂ has established itself as one of the worldâ€™s most important denim fairs as well as the initiator of a strong industry community that stands for the future-oriented reorganization of the denim market.. On the 3rd and 4th of September, BLUEZONE will present the latest developments for denim, finishes, washes and ready-made solutions under the ALL RELATED theme in Halls 6 and 7, supplemented by vintage and timeless segments and the latest edition of BLUEFEST in the Bluepark.

ALL RELATED

In the ever-changing denim industry, weaving mills, producers and manufacturers are now more than ever in direct contact with consumers and need to develop their marketing and communication skills in a similar way to denim brands. Until recently, an invisible border separated the players in the jeans industry from end consumers. Todayâ€™s open-minded and curious customers now demand transparency not only from brands, but also from producers. At the same time, brands are transferring more and more responsibility to the producers. It is precisely in this interactivity that the new connection for interaction with end consumers lies. Blockchain, transparent distribution concepts and social media together build new standards that the industry itself must set. Weaving mills and manufacturers are part of an ALL RELATED chain of global value shifts in society.

â€˜With BLUEZONE as one of the largest international denim trade fairs, a platform has been created that brings together experts, invited to pass on their know-how. This is where networking takes on a new dimension. New communication channels, transparent production chains and changing consumer behaviorÂ present the denim industry with fundamental challenges, but at the same time also offer great opportunities for a future-oriented BLUE Industryâ€™ – Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director MUNICH FABRIC START

ALL RELATED COLLAB PROJECT

The ALL RELATED COLLAB PROJECT at BLUEZONE is a defining showcase of how future collaborations can and will look like. This initiative combines creativity, cooperation, transparency and responsibility. International designers, fabric suppliers, additional manufacturers and producers have split up into 8 teams and have tried to realize their vision of a sustainable denim silhouette.

â€˜With the ALL RELATED COLLAB Project we go one step further. This project is an unprecedented initiative whereby 23 BLUEZONE exhibitors have joined forces with designers to create an innovative vision of denim.â€™ – Lucie Germser, Head of Communication & Design, Monsieur-T.

Innovation and sustainability are now and will remain central themes for denim. Innovation highlights presented at BLUEZONE :

CandianiÂ claims to drastically reduce water consumption through its patented Kitotex technology, it is biodegradable and even helps to clean waste water. Conventional chemicals are no longer used. Naveena Denim focuses on eco-friendly, functional fibres, yarn engineering and presents â€œZevolutionâ€, a denim made of environmentally friendly fibres instead of cotton and â€œRetrotechâ€ a modern vintage cotton with a stretch admixture.

Texpro recycles 70% of the water used for production and uses laser washing techniques for dyeing and finishing. Bossa is launching the new â€œEversoftâ€ family series with new finishing technologies that are claimed to deliver extreme comfort and super soft touch.Â Â Berto expands the â€œPianetaâ€ product range, which recycles production waste. Calik Denim focuses on â€œSelfsized Boostâ€, a new concept for long-lasting favorites.

Thanks to the â€œCactus Projectâ€, Kilim Denim uses a new technology that allows indigo to adhere better to the warp yarn, saving 93% water. Tejidos Royo presents , as they claim, the worldâ€™s only Foam Indigo Dyeing technology, reducing water consumption by 100%, chemical use by 89% and energy consumption by 65%.

Candiani Denim and Ruedi Karrer â€“ Collab

Candiani Denim and Ruedi Karrer celebrate their first, very special collaboration on the BLUEZONE. Candiani Denim makes Ruedi Karrer’s dream come true: a self-created jean in a limited edition of 60 numbered models. Designed by Ruedi, developed by Candiani and made 100% in Italy by IMJIT. The sales proceeds go towards the expansion of the Jeans Museum in Zurich, founded by Karrer. The very special and very personal jeans project also includes a short film about the life and passion of Ruedi Karrer, which premieres on September 3rd in BLUEZONE.

DENIM TALKS

Today, consumers are demanding more and more from their denim. CARVED IN BLUE asks experts how they see the challenges ahead. The new video series courtesy of TENCELâ„¢ Denim revolves around Collaboration, Cotton and Beyond, Closing the Loop and Future Thinking.

These and other relevant topics for the denim market will be explored in depth in talks and panel discussions by such names as Sportswear International, Monsieur-T., Archroma, Tejidos Royo, the Blogger’s Hour and in the ALL RELATED COLLAB presentation on the long wooden table running down the centre of the BLUEZONE, which offers space for direct exchange and personal dialogue.

TOP COUNTRIES SUPPLYING DENIM FABRICS TO MEXICO

In the month of May 2019, Mexico has imported approx. 4 million sqm of denim fabrics.

CHINA is the biggest exporter of Denim Fabric to Mexico with a total volume of about 3 million sqm at an average price of USD 0.46/sqm. India is the 2nd biggest denim supplier which exported around 3 lakhs sqm of denim fabric at an average price of USD 1.61/sqm. Brazil, United States ,Pakistan etc. are other major countries which contributed about 5%,4%,3% of the total import of denim fabric of Mexico respectively.Japan on the other hand exported at the highest average price of 5.98 USD/SQM.

(Note: this data has been captured from various govt organizations including customs. the actual imports are likely to be higher than this figure .)

Country	Volume(SQM)	Average Price(USD/SQM)	% Share
China	3,419,010.44	0.46	76.6
India	308,678.40	1.61	6.9
Brazil	244,913.81	1.64	5.5
United States	202,322.05	2.03	4.5
Pakistan	140,015.38	1.74	3.1
Ecuador	103,554.57	1.79	2.3
Japan	27,865.08	5.98	0.6
Italy	18,581.61	4.75	0.4
Mexico	1,424.95	2.1	0.03

The prices from countries like China look ridiculous at less than 50 cents. It is widely believed that these prices are not correct and are under invoiced so that the importers can avoid duties and hence these should not be seen as benchmark prices and the readers can draw their own conclusion .

TOP COMPANIES EXPORTING DENIM IN MEXICO

Customization – A New Trend For Apparel Retailers ?

Everyone loves the personal creative designs and customizations – to add a touch of their personality on various objects . Apparel customizations have been done for long time specially in the past when we did not mass productions. However, as we moved to fast fashion and mass retailing , these customizations were given up by most except some boutique efforts. But we see a trend where large apparel and footwear retailers are looking to reach out to their customers in a personal way by giving them various options of customizations and to enable them create One Of A Kind Pieces !
Levi’s , Zara, Converse , Nike and many other brands are creating their own offerings to enable customers add their personal touch to their products and be more attached to their brand. We give below details of some of the projects these brands have undertaken to enable their customers to customize their purchase.

Levi Strauss & Co

Levis has given the power of personalisation to their customers by introducing Future Finish – a new online customization experience available on levi.com (U.S. only) that provides next-level customization through digital innovation. As per their website, this latest state-of-the-art advancement uses the proprietary laser-powered technology developed through their Project F.L.X. to digitize the design and development of denim finishing, enabling the Leviâ€™sÂ® brand to take its online customization experience to new, previously unimaginable levels. For more information click here !

GAP

Gap offered workshops and customisation service in the event in London in September to celebrate the 50 years of denim including denim tattooing, hemming and distressing. The workshop was designed to display the future need in the denim market. The concept was devised in-house bt GAP. This service marked their entry and an indication of their interest in reaching out to their customers in a personal way.

Zara

Zaraâ€™s latest collection enables the customers to add the custom made embroidery to their favorite products . One can stitch and style the jackets and sweaters with their names and monograms of their choice. Not only this, this collection was made from recycled cotton or naturally grown cotton that preserves the ecosystem and promotes sustainability. Without much effort and money you can now fulfill your wish to stitch your name on your denim and cotton collection. You can use the â€œEditâ€ window at their websiteÂ to do the same.

Converse

Converse came out with the concept of personalisation of their shoes.You can choose the material, color or print on the shoe and the laces. You can even edit the converse logo to be printed on your snickers. This feature was named â€œ Converse By You â€œ under which they provide a wide range of color and prints option for the customers to customize their favorite piece of shoe. Click hereÂ to try editing!

Nike

Nike in collaboration with Stranger Things and Netflix launched the 2 different types of shoes with patches and embossing. One of the piece is an upside down view of the shoes as if worn outside. Another one in beige is subtle in colour and pattern. It creates a customization opportunity by exposing different denim parts of the shoe and choose from different varieties.

We feel that customization is here to stay and we are likely to see many other brands jumping the bandwagon to make unique offerings to the customers. However, it remains to be seen if this can actually develop into a profitable segment for the retailers or not . Time will tell …
