Five-meter-wide print media fabric is flat-out fussy. Even before it’s loaded onto your printer, there’s shipping it (often from overseas), handling it, moving it, packing it, transporting it – and almost each step of the way requires a higher level of care than conventional textiles. That’s why, when you partner with TVF for grand format and superwide format print jobs, rest assured the finer details are taken care of. Here’s how:
Proper Handling, Proper Storage
Stretch marks revealed after you run through a roll? Coating migration? Inconsistencies that cause headstrikes during printing? All of these problems can be rooted in improper handling, incompatible equipment, uncontrolled warehousing environment, and more. TVF’s California-based logistical spaces specialize in dealing with five-meter-wide fabrics.
Packaged with Care
One point of contact that can make or break fabric fulfillment is the packaging process. Five-meter-wide rolls – by nature of their unusually large size – require specialized material handling equipment. It requires particular knowledge, wrapping, and palleting procedures, so your rolls arrive in the best shape possible for printability. TVF’s rigorous logistical standards ensure print media fabrics are handled with the utmost care and climate control.
Proximity to Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach
A tighter pipeline from when the fabric arrives at port to when it reaches warehousing and storage reduces the opportunities for transportation issues to harm the fabric. TVF facilities are located in close proximity to both the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach.
Global Connections
TVF’s world-renowned connections are showcased exceptionally well with print media fabrics. One example is TVF serving as the U.S. distributor of Georg+Otto Friedrich (GOF) print media fabrics, which are considered the finest available in the world.
