Matte embroidery

Matte embroidery creates a subtle, textile appearance without the characteristic sheen of conventional polyester embroidery threads. Its understated surface puts the focus on the embroidery design itself and gives logos, lettering and decorative elements a distinctive, natural look.

This makes matte embroidery particularly suitable for applications where a more restrained or textile-like appearance is desired. Depending on the thread construction, the matte surface can complement a wide range of fabrics and create attractive contrasts to glossy materials or design elements.

For matte embroidery, the thread needs to combine the desired visual effect with reliable embroidery performance. Consistent thread quality, good abrasion resistance and suitable strength properties support clean stitch formation and durable embroidery results.

Matte embroidery is particularly suitable for fashion, workwear, sportswear, outdoor wear, childrenswear and decorative designs.

For matte embroidery, we recommend Saba Embroidery, Saba Recycled, Saba Evo and Rasant.

Saba Embroidery is AMANN’s core spun polyester embroidery thread developed specifically for matte embroidery. Its textile appearance, high abrasion resistance and strength properties support reliable processing and durable embroidery results. Saba Embroidery 120 corresponds to embroidery weight 40 and is suitable for standard embroidery designs, while further thread sizes enable effects ranging from pronounced hand-stitch looks to fine monograms.

Saba Recycled combines a matte, textile appearance with the use of recycled polyester. Its abrasion resistance, strength and reliable processing properties make it a suitable choice for matte embroidery where recycled materials are an important part of the product concept.

Saba Evo offers a refined textile appearance and a highly uniform surface. Its compact core spun construction supports reliable processing and makes it suitable for elegant matte embroidery and high-quality decorative applications.

Rasant is a polyester/cotton core spun thread and offers another option for matte embroidery. Its cotton covering creates a naturally matte, textile character, while the polyester core provides strength and reliable processing properties.
