Rockland Expands Roc-lon Blackout Service
December 13, 2001
Baltimore, MD (USA) — Rockland Mills is offering a broader range of service and widths of its one-piece budget blackout lining to European based printers ready for printing.
"The printable Roc-lon® blackout linings in 500 yard rolls in both budget and high count poly/cotton, were introduced in Europe six years ago," said Stan Fradin, president. "Since then, the contract and residential market for this product has skyrocketed."
Fradin said that printers represent an immense market to Rockland. "We offer special widths from 137 cm to 140 cm, 55/56 inches wide. We have widths of 59 inches for printers in the German-speaking market; 68 inches for the British market and continent and 72 inch widths for the Italian printer.
"We prepare for printing finished goods in large rolls, ship it directly to the printer who can use up to 20 screens and metallic without any problems. This used to be a business of piecing the fabric together with the blackout lining. Now, it's only one piece and you have both. By eliminating the cost of joining two rolls, this has removed a big cost in producing the window fashions. The economy and the need to save money are driving this business."
