MOUNT HOLLY, N.C. – Continuing its 125-year tradition in textile manufacturing, American & Efird (A&E) unveiled Colorlink, the company’s first mobile app with a focus on thread color.
Colorlink encourages more interactive collaboration, connecting entire teams across design and production channels in the thread color selection process to ensure color is not compromised.
Available for both Android and Apple phones and tablets, A&E Colorlink was created to serve as an end-to-end tool to connect designers and production managers in the thread color selection process. The app offers a vast array of digital color choices and provides more control of thread color selection from design inception to the manufacturing floor, assuring designers that the personal connection to their color story is maintained through production.
“Thread color selection is a foundational element of garment design and production, but too often this decision is left to the end of the process,” said Chris Alt, A&E senior vice president of Sales. “Our goal for Colorlink is to give designers and manufacturers an easy-to-use, go-to thread color collaboration tool that not only provides color inspiration, but also streamlines access to our expansive global color platform and Colorlink palette. Colorlink empowers garment designers and color professionals to be confident that the colors they select at the garment’s inception will be the same inspired colors used in the finished product, ensuring their vision stays true.”
