Introduction

In textiles, fabric often has multiple sides or layers, including a Face, Middle, and Back side. To indicate that a fabric has multiple sides or layers, follow these step-by-step instructions to create multiple fabric-sided in TextileCloud™.

1. Creating 2-Sided Fabrics Using Smart Upload

Frontier.cool’s powerful AI model can intelligently recognize text and help you quickly and easily create digital assets for double-sided fabrics. Just follow the steps below to get started:

• Prepare front and back pre-scanned fabric images of your double-sided fabric.

• Make sure the image files meet the following requirements:

  • Scan size and orientation should be A4 vertical.

  • File format must be JPG, JPEG, or PNG.

  • Resolution must be at least 300 DPI.

• Attach Frontier.cool’s standard back-side QR code to the back fabric image. 
  (Click here to get the QR code for Back Side).
  
  You can also find it by clicking Create Asset icon in the Asset Library, then selecting Feature Setting at the top-right corner of the screen. From there, click [Print the QR Code] under [Use QR Code for Back-Side].

  📝Important Note: This QR code for the back side is universal and can be used for all fabrics. When uploading both front (face side) and back side pre-scanned images together, make sure to select the front side pre-scanned image first, followed by the back side pre-scanned image with the QR code attached.

  Our engine reads the files in sequence, thus, selecting the front side pre-scanned image first ensures the back side is correctly mapped to it.

   

• Upload the front and back pre-scanned images toTextileCloud™ by using Smart Upload to your pre-selected email address.
  💡 Please note that each organization and group has a different preselected email address for uploading. Make sure to upload your images to the correct email address. You can find your pre-selected email address in the Feature Setting section.
  

• If you have a scanner connected to the internet, simply scan your images and upload them directly to the preselected email address. Alternatively, you can send them via email.

• If your scanner isn’t connected to the internet, scan the images first and then upload your images using the Upload Existing Image option. 

2. Creating Multiple-Sided Fabrics Using Create Assets (Filling Data First)

Alternatively, you can create multiple-sided fabrics by first entering the fabric details using the Create Asset feature. This method allows you to set up the fabric information before uploading the corresponding images, whether for double-sided or multi-layer fabrics.

2-Sides Fabric (Face and Back side):

1. Select [2-Sides] in the dropdown side information to indicate the fabric has a Face and Back side.
2. Scroll down and fill in the specifications in the Face side section.
3. Continue to the Back side section. 

• If the Back side is the same as the Face side, simply toggle the [Sync Face Side Info] button.
• If different, fill in specifications for the Back side, including Features, Material Type, Material Description, Construction, and so on.

2-Sides Fabric (Face and Middle side):

1. Select [1-Side] and [Face] in the dropdown side information
2. Check the [Composite Material] checkbox to indicate that the fabric has a middle side.
3. Scroll down and fill in the specifications in the Face side section.
4. Continue to fill in specifications in the Middle side section, including Features, Finish, and Construction field.

3-Sides Fabric (Face, Middle, Back side):

1. Select [2-Sides] in the dropdown side information, and check the [Composite material] checkbox to indicate the fabric has Face, Middle, and Back side.
2. Scroll down and fill in specifications for the Face side and Middle side section.
3. If the Back side is the same as the Face side, toggle the [Sync Face Side Info] button. If not, fill in the specifications for the Back side.
