Seride: textile calendering

Textile calendering is one of the fabric finishing services that we at Seride can offer to companies, in addition to our fabric printing service.

Textile calendering consists of passing the printed fabric through preheated rotating cylinders, which make the surface of the fabric smooth and uniform, give it a higher gloss and flatten it.

It is no coincidence that the meaning of calendering a fabric is to compress it by passing it between several rollers under predefined and monitored conditions. Indeed, it is important to control the time, temperature and pressure to which the fiber or fabric is subjected.

What is textile calendering

Textile calendering improves the finish of fabrics and makes them smoother, shinier and more compact. Basically, it involves passing the fabric between two or more metal or rubber rollers, which are heated and pressed together.

This process is performed on already finished fabrics and can be used to improve the finish of natural fibre fabrics, such as cotton and silk, and synthetic fabrics, such as nylon and polyester.

A curiosity about textile calendering

Did you know that the first textile calender was invented in 1830 by French engineer J. M. Jacquard? In fact, the first historical records of textile calendering date back to when the first linen and cotton fabrics were produced in Europe.

Today, calendering technology is very advanced, but the process is based on the same principles as in the 19th century.
