COLOREEL: Revolutionary Embroidery Technology

Start with Just White Thread

The concept is simple: instead of using dozens of spools of colored thread, you begin with a single white thread. This eliminates the need to preselect colors or switch threads during production.

On-the-Fly Thread Coloring During Embroidery

The COLOREEL unit colors the thread in real time with unmatched precision. This allows for gradients, color transitions, and any desired color combination to be applied instantly. You’re no longer limited to existing thread colors – the creative possibilities are endless.

Embroider as Usual – Only Smarter

The colored thread is fed directly into your existing embroidery machine. The result: razor-sharp designs, less thread waste, and greater efficiency on the production floor.
