What finishing method is used on Duck fabric?

• A. Resist print / screen method
• B. Bleached
• C. Printed
• D. Embroidered

Answer: (A)

Duck fabric is a sturdy, heavy cotton with a tight weave. When designers want to add patterns or designs, resist printing or screen printing are common finishing methods. Resist printing uses a blocking agent like wax or paste to prevent dye from reaching certain areas, so a pattern appears where the dye is absorbed elsewhere. Screen printing applies pigment or dye directly through a mesh screen in a precise pattern, producing bold, durable designs on the fabric. On duck’s durable surface, these methods give reliable, sharp results that withstand wear, making resist print / screen method a typical finishing approach. Bleaching would lighten the fabric, printing could mean any full or partial dyeing without the resist effect, and embroidery adds stitched decoration rather than a fabric-wide finishing process.
