CIMALP PRODUCT
CUSTOMISATION GUIDE
Do you want to add your organisation’s logo to your Cimalp gear?
Here are our technical recommendations to ensure high-quality, long-lasting customisation while preserving the performance of our products. Practical tips for printing or embroidering your garments with a textile service provider.
1. Choosing the right technique for each garment type
Technical garments
with waterproof membranes
Prefer heat transfer or vinyl printing, avoiding areas highly exposed to rain.
Avoid embroidery – it punctures the membrane and reduces the garment’s waterproofness.
Fleeces, microfleeces,
and textured fabrics
Embroidery is recommended for a clean and durable finish.
Printing does not adhere well to non-smooth surfaces.
Down jackets
and quilted coats
Embroidery is possible but avoid raised areas or seams to maintain the baffle structure.
Technical T-shirts,
sweatshirts, and trousers
Printing generally works well, but test first if the fabric is very stretchy.
2. Positioning tips
Before embroidering near pockets, check with your provider if pocket functionality can be preserved, as embroidery might block access or make use uncomfortable. Avoid placing customisation too close to seams or technical zones (zips, vents, elastic bands…). This complicates application and may weaken both the garment and the logo.
3. Files and formats to provide
Specify desired dimensions
(e.g. 8 cm wide on the chest, 20 cm on the back).
Indicate the exact number of colours and provide references if needed (Pantone, RGB, CMYK).
Also:
.AI
.EPS
.PDF
For crisp, professional results, supply a vectorised logo with no background in one of the following formats:
.AI, .EPS, .PDF.
4. General recommendations
Always request a proof before production to validate size, colour, and placement.
Test on one garment first if unsure about the final look or durability.
Avoid large prints on lightweight fabrics to maintain breathability and comfort.
Check wash resistance, especially for garments intended for sport or heavy use.
