What Does Colorfast Mean at Pioneer Imports and Wholesale?
Color influences emotions, moods, and even behaviors. However, perhaps most important for your clients, color can make the difference between a nice floral arrangement and a stunning, lifelike silk masterpiece. So, when it comes to artificial flowers, what exactly does colorfast mean at Pioneer Imports and Wholesale?
What are Colorfast Silk Flowers
Colorfast, by definition, refers to fabrics with dye that will not easily wash out. At Pioneer Imports and Wholesale, colorfast silk flowers are pre-washed and dried to minimize bleeding. That means the color you see in our catalog is the color you’ll receive—and the color your florals will remain.
However, it is important to note that in the silk flower industry “colorfast” is not the same as “UV-protected.” All faux flowers (along with most other materials) will eventually begin to fade after continued sun exposure.
Rather, colorfast flowers are pre-treated to protect their true shades against moisture-induced bleeding. This is helpful if you anticipate any dampness, humidity, or condensation during the arrangement of a product, for the duration of its display, and even while in transit or storage.
When to Choose Colorfast Florals
High-quality artificial flowers stay vibrant and lifelike for years. However, if you want to provide your customers with a product of enhanced value and extend the lifetime of your creations, colorfast silks help you do so.
Less likely to bleed than standard styles, colorfast silk flowers are an ideal choice for outdoor events, such as:
- Monument silks for cemeteries and graveside floral arrangements
- Outdoor floral art installations
- Flower walls, backdrops, and wedding arches
- Garden center exhibits
- Floral baskets and gift baskets (especially those for longer-term display)
At Pioneer Imports and Wholesale, we live by the mantra “Color is Everything.” When you want to make a big impression, colorfast silk flowers help you do just that. They provide a little extra assurance that the gorgeous, natural colors will endure.
Create moving, inspirational, show-stopping products for your clients with the help of colorfast faux florals. Check out the large selection of lifelike colorfast flowers from Pioneer Imports and Wholesale.
