Fruit of the Loom – Apparel industries oldest company

admin — Wed, 26 May 2010 14:17:55 +0000

There can’t be many company’s trading today that can trace their beginnings back as far as 1851, but that is exactly what the branded clothing product company Fruit of the Loom can do.

Fruit of the Loom started in Rhode Island, America when Robert Knight, a textile mill owner and a friend, Rufus Skeel who owned a small shop selling cloth got together and formed one of the first branded clothing companies in America. Rufus Skeel’s daughter had painted pictures of apples and applied them to cloth. It was this image that Rudus Steel decided to use for his labels and this apple can still be seen today on the Fruit of the Loom logo. In 1871 Robert Knight applied for and obtained a patent. He was issued the patent number 418 for the brand Fruit of the Loom.

Since the late 1800′s, Fruit of the Loom has lead a varied and at times unstable life. This culminated as recently as 1999 when Fruit of the Loom filed for protected bankruptcy, following losses of $576.2 million. The company was bought from bankruptcy by Berkshire Hathaway Corporation in January 2002. A more recent problem for Fruit of the Loom was the boycott by over 100 universities in 2009 when it emerged that Fruit of the Loom were allegedly violating workers rights in Honduras, where it is the countries largest employer. This lead to significant losses in profit.

Fruit of the Loom is probably best known for its printable garments, particularly it’s t-shirts. JKL Clothing has been using the Fruit of the Loom Valueweight t-shirts in almost all of its t-shirt printing production runs for some time. Vicky Clow (JKL Clothing’s, artwork and production manager) comments “the Fruit of the Loom Valueweight t-shirt ticks all the boxes our customers require, it is a good quality garment at a reasonable price and from a printers point of view provides a great surface on which to screen print” To view the Fruit of the Loom t-shirt range and see what JKL Clothing can produce from their t-shirt printing facility, visit the JKL Clothing website at www.jklclothing.co.uk

Free Screen set up charge when ordering printed garments

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 22:13:31 +0000

JKL Clothing continue to offer free set up charges for all printing when your order for printed garments exceeds 100. We are the only printed garments company within our sector that offers free screen set ups on as low a quantity as 100.
So why do many companies charge for the setting up of screens for printing.? Put simply there is work involved, so therefore a charge is payable. In order to create a screen from which you are able to print you firstly have to separate the colours of the design and create individual screens for each colour in the design. This process obviously takes time. JKL Clothing do however realise how prohibitive a one off screen set up charge can be, which is why we have waived it for orders of 100 or more. Our philosophy is simple, once we have produced a customers screen, that screen is then saved for a period of 12 months so that should you re order within that period and require the same artwork design, no set up charge is payable on any quantity ordered, providing the minimum order quantity of 20 is reached. It is hoped that once you have seen the quality of our printing and experienced our superior customer service you will return time and time again.
JKL Clothing also appreciate the current economic climate and the difficulties faced by both business’s and individuals alike. It is for this reason that we will do all we can to ensure we continue to provide value and service to all our customers, big and small.
So next time you are looking for a quality t-shirt printing company remember that JKL Clothing are committed to making printed garments as cost effective as possible.

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 12:10:57 +0000

JKL Clothing are pleased to announce that embroidery prices are to remain static for the second year in a row.
Embroidered clothing is one of JKL Clothing’s main areas of expertise alongside screen printing and workwear supply. During the recent economic downturn we have worked alongside our suppliers and customers alike to ensure we continue to provide the best possible deal without compromising our commitment to superior customer service. We constantly monitor the competition and are confident we continue to out perform our contemporaries in terms of product quality and value for money.
One of the reasons that we are able to maintain our low embroidery prices is that we invested in market leading Barudan embroidery machines that provide us with excellent efficiency and minimum downtime, resulting in improved performance from our embroidery department.
Jeff Harris, JKL Clothing’s MD recently said “we are all too well aware of the economic difficulties faced by our customers, by refraining from increasing our embroidery prices for a second year we are doing all we can to maintain our position as market leaders and help our loyal customers during what can only be described as difficult market conditions”
