Designing a unique custom silk twilly is a fun and creative process. At ElleSilk, we specialize in high-quality custom silk twilly and scarves. Over time, we have noticed one common issue: many customers are not familiar with the production details of Twilly scarves. As a result, the design files they submit often do not meet the production requirements. This leads to extra back-and-forth communication and delays the overall process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help you submit your design more easily and efficiently, this guide explains how Twilly scarves are made, what your design file should include, and key details to pay attention to. Once you understand these points, it will be much easier to prepare a design that looks perfect in the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Twilly Scarves Are Made<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At ElleSilk, we offer two styles of  twilly scarves<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Angled Twilly<\/strong>: ends are cut at an angle for a more dynamic look
\u2022 Straight Twilly<\/strong>: ends are cut straight for a clean and simple style<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both styles follow the same production process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The full design is printed on silk fabric
\u2022 The fabric is folded in half lengthwise
\u2022 The folded fabric is sewn to create a long, narrow finished scarf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This folding process is very important to understand. Even though the finished Twilly is 5 cm wide, the design must cover 10 cm of fabric. This ensures that the two sides of the folded scarf match perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design File Dimensions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customers often ask if they should submit a 5 cm wide design since the final scarf is 5 cm wide. In fact, you need to submit a 10 cm wide main design because of the folding process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the correct size:
\u2022 Main design area: 10 cm wide \u00d7 86 cm high
\u2022 The left 5 cm and right 5 cm of the design will appear on the front and back of the folded scarf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you only submit a 5 cm wide design, the final scarf will have missing or misaligned parts of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double-Sided Design Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The folding process allows you to design the front and back of the Twilly scarf differently. This is a great opportunity to create a more interesting and versatile look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how the design corresponds to the finished scarf:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Left 5 cm \u2192 front side (Side A)
\u2022 Right 5 cm \u2192 back side (Side B)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose either of these design options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Different designs<\/strong>: create a different look on each side for more variety when wearing the scarf
\u2022 Same design<\/strong>: create a symmetrical look; in this case, be careful with how the design connects when folded<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use the same design on both sides, here are some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Text direction<\/strong>: make sure text can be read correctly on both sides after folding; avoid upside-down text
\u2022 Pattern connection<\/strong>: use a mirrored design to ensure a seamless connection across the fold; avoid any breaks or mismatched areas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleed Area Considerations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To keep the edges of the finished scarf neat and clean, the design file must include a bleed area. During production, the edges of the fabric are folded in and sewn. The bleed area is needed to allow for this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleed area requirement: 0.7 cm on all four sides<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that the bleed area will not be fully visible on the finished scarf. Do not place any important elements in this area, such as:
\u2022 Logo
\u2022 Text
\u2022 Key design elements
\u2022 Borders or framing elements<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All key design content should stay within the main design area (10 cm wide \u00d7 86 cm high) to make sure it appears as expected on the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleed Design Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your style and branding, you can choose different ways to handle the edge design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Full bleed<\/strong>: extend the design naturally into the bleed area for a modern and seamless look. Be aware that the very edges will be folded in.
\u2022 Background color bleed<\/strong>: use a solid background color or gradient in the bleed area to ensure that the main design remains intact.
\u2022 Framed design<\/strong>: add a border or intentional white space to clearly separate the main design area from the edges, creating a more layered and structured look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final File Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final file size depends on the style of Twilly you choose. Here are the correct file dimensions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angled Twilly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 File size: 11.4 cm wide \u00d7 86 cm high
<\/strong> \u2022 Main design area: 10 cm wide \u00d7 86 cm high
<\/strong> \u2022 Bleed: 0.7 cm on both the left and right sides<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Straight Twilly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 File size: 11.4 cm wide \u00d7 87.4 cm high
<\/strong> \u2022 Main design area: 10 cm wide \u00d7 86 cm high
<\/strong> \u2022 Bleed: 0.7 cm on all four sides<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding these file requirements will help you submit a complete and accurate design, making sure your Twilly scarf looks exactly as you imagined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
