Is there really that much difference in starches and finishes? YES!
 | Emulsification in various starches and finishes can cause bleeding |
| PVA type starches wash out rapidly and can cause problems in storage |
| Other types can react with various yarn lubricants which results in spotting |
| Most starches and finishes usually cause darkening of the original color |
My printing cannot survive various processes
| Durability is one part of the problem |
| Almost all types of print finishes cannot hold up to processes like stone washing |
| Fading can incur quite rapidly |
| The finish has to have the ability to crosslink with the ink |
My labels are bleeding after being sewn into the garment
| Yarn lubricants can seep through various starches because of the particle size of the finish. |
| Depending on the chemical makeup of the starch or finish it can react with the yarn lubricant |
| Upon storage, especially when the label is in contact with the garment in a plastic bag, the sizing on the yarn can transfer onto the garment. |
| Loose dye particles can also cause migration if not completely entrapped by the finish. |
Commercial Products USA has worked over 30 years to solve these and other problems in the label manufacturing industry.
