Glossary

In a technical sector such as the warp-knitted fabrics industry, the terminology used is often unfamiliar, especially for the end consumers who, generally speaking, will not know the meaning behind the symbols that appear on their clothing labels, and as such, cannot be aware of their merits and advantages.

By putting together a glossary full of technical terms and recurring acronyms, Carvico SpA aims to provide clear definitions of some of the more specific textile terminology.

To browse the glossary, just click on the letter corresponding to the first letter of the word that you are searching for.
