The Gtermann company employs a numerical system for precise identification of its vast thread collection. Each hue, shade, and variation within their product line is assigned a unique numeric identifier. For instance, a vibrant red might be designated “1025,” while a subtle cream could be “701.” This system enables accurate selection and reordering, crucial for consistency in large-scale textile production and individual projects.
This standardized identification system offers significant advantages for both manufacturers and consumers. Eliminating reliance on subjective color names like “crimson” or “ivory,” which can be interpreted differently, ensures precise color matching across projects and over time. This is particularly important for maintaining brand consistency in the apparel industry and achieving consistent results in quilting, embroidery, and other crafts. The system’s development reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to quality and precision, establishing a universally understood language of color within the sewing and crafting community.
