[Ishikawa / Komatsu City] [Must-see for creators] Sample production at a textile factory where you can order original designs!

The world of original design that began with woven labels Nakagawa Sangyo originally started as a woven label factory, but today we can create a variety of original textile products from silk screens to prints. This program is for designers and creators who want to see Nakagawa Sangyo's manufacturing machines and make use of them to make things. Even if you are not a so-called "professional", there are probably many people who have wanted to make T-shirts and souvenirs for club activities and circles. These days, we live in an age of 100 million creators, where anyone can design and sell their own original creations on SNS and online shops. Let's enjoy making things together! *For foreign nationals: Information on the day will be in Japanese only.

Nakagawa Sangyo originally made woven labels using jacquard weaving, but as we have diversified in line with the times, we have expanded not only to woven labels, but also to printing on various products such as mugs and T-shirts, as well as the production of final products. is possible. One of our greatest strengths is the flexibility of our design team to create anything using our in-house resources. In this program, you can visit these various machines and request sample production of what you actually want to make. *Usually, there is a separate production fee for sample production, but in this program, the cost includes the sample request.

The current situation is that Japan's manufacturing is steadily shrinking due to being pushed by large-scale overseas production bases. Woven labels are no exception. Komatsu City in Ishikawa Prefecture and Maruoka City in Fukui Prefecture produced 100% Japanese woven labels. At its peak, there were 200 woven labels in Komatsu and 800 in Maruoka. There are now about 20 companies in the city. In the textile industry, where division of labor is thriving, Nakagawa Sangyo has promoted in-house production in order to be able to "manufacture in-house without relying on outside sources". Now you can finish it cheaply. In the tour of this program, you can see all the technologies of Nakagawa Sangyo, which performs everything from woven label manufacturing technology to printing and silkscreening, so you can trust us as a partner to do manufacturing together.

If you take a tour of Nakagawa Sangyo, you'll notice that the younger employees are doing design work. It seems that they naturally gathered together as they promoted in-house production and diversification along with the history of the company. Because we have a design team that not only works with craftsmen, but also works with us on the planning side, we can exchange samples and communicate smoothly when it comes time to actually proceed with production. An in-house design team full of ideas will support you.
