Jacquard
Type of woven or knitted fabric, which is constructed on a special machine that uses needle selection
which results in intricate, complex all-over designs. Single knit jacquards are commonly knit with two
separate colored yarns that are knit together in a row. Double knit jacquards are knit with up to five separate colored yarns across a row. Double knits are generally much more intricate, more colorful and yet heavier (mostly used in long sleeve product). Woven jacquard fabrics include brocade, damask and
tapestry. A pattern knit directly into the fabric during the manufacturing process. Typically, 2 or more colors are used.
Java
Developed by Sun Microsystems, Java is a programming language that is specifically designed
for writing programs that can be safely downloaded to your computer through the Internet and immediately run without fear of viruses or other harm to your computer or files. Using small Java programs (called "Applets"), Web pages can include functions such as animations, calculators, and other fancy tricks. Java is a simple, robust, object-oriented, platform independent multi-threaded, dynamic general-purpose programming environment. It is best for creating applets and applications for the Internet, intranets and any other complex, distributed network.
Java Applets
Mini programs that run on a Web page or a Web site to perform complicated tasks.

We don't offer a whole lot of promotional products jargon that starts with J, but what we lack in width we more than make up for with depth! Our definitions for several J words are extremely comprehensive and certain to make your knowledge of this industry even greater than it already is. Promotional products buying is far more interactive than many other industries where you just pluck an item off the shelf and toss it into your (possibly virtual) shopping cart. With custom items, we make you part of the process, and nothing makes everyone's life easier than a little shared information.
