Method for manufacturing embroidered wallcovering

Abstract

A method for manufacturing an embroidered wallcovering includes the following steps. Using a gravure press or cylinder screen press with water soluble inks, print patterns are printed on a base material. In the mean time of printing, the base material is heat dried. Thread patterns, which is corresponding to the print patterns, are embroidered onto the base material. The embroidery is done by a machine. Therefore, it is ideal for mass production. The embroidered wallcovering manufactured by this method has advantages of printed wallcovering and embroidery, and overcomes their disadvantages. The embroidered wallcovering manufactured by this method is environment friendly, and add dimension and quality to the wallcovering, thereby meeting the most demanding wall finish requirements.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a method for manufacturing a decorative wallcovering, and in particular to a method for manufacturing an embroidered wallcovering.[0003]2. The Prior Arts[0004]Conventional decorative wall cloths are classified into two categories: a fabric based wall cloth, which includes fabric coated with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and a non-woven-material based wall cloth. A conventional method for manufacturing the non-woven-material based wall cloth includes the steps of printing print patterns on a non-woven material by a press and packaging the finished wall cloth. Because the non-woven material is breathable, it is easier to manufacture, paste on the wall, and is less likely to warp at the edges. However, the wall cloth is not suitable to emboss after printing. Thus, the conventional wall cloth can not provide three dimensional patterns. The decoration effect and the price level of the c...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]The characteristic of the method for manufacturing an embroidered wallcovering according to the present invention is combining printing with embroidery to create a new type of decorative wallcovering. Printing provides the base material of the wallcovering with vivid and colorful decorative print patterns. Embroidery provides the thread patterns of volume on a two-dimensional surface. Moreover, the print patterns match with the thread patterns, thereby improving the decoration level of the embroidery.

[0013]The base material can be chosen from any of materials suitable for printing, and the non-woven material is preferred. The threads can be chosen from regular threads used for embroidery. After printing and embroidering, the wallcovering may further include decorative accessories to enhance aesthetics.

[0014]The embroidered wallcovering manufactured by the method according to the present invention is embroidered by a machine. Thus, the method according to the present invention is ideal for mass production. The embroidered wallcovering manufactured by the method has the advantages of printed wallcovering and embroidery but does not have their disadvantages. The wallcovering is environment friendly, and add dimension and quality to the wallcovering, thereby meeting the most demanding wall finish requirements.

Problems solved by technology

However, the wall cloth is not suitable to emboss after printing.

Thus, the conventional wall cloth can not provide three dimensional patterns.

Therefore, the conventional wall cloth can not satisfy the high level wall decoration.

However, it is hard to control designs and color matching in a large scale machine embroidered work.

The colors are difficult to adjust to present the realistic patterns in the large scale work.
