In addition to embroidery, the company offers printing and sewing services, supporting brands and businesses with specialized manufacturing and product development requirements.

Embroidery is the company's core specialty, with a broad selection of techniques available to suit different designs, materials, and decorative effects. Its capabilities include direct embroidery on finished products, sequin embroidery, rug-style embroidery, cord embroidery, bead embroidery, and 3D embroidery. The company also produces custom embroidered patches, hat embroidery, and personalized name embroidery. These services can be used for original apparel collections, branded accessories, and other products requiring distinctive embroidered details.

Kawashima Embroidery also offers specialized embroidery and stitching techniques, including Japanese-style free-motion embroidery, smocking, shirring, flower picot, blanket stitching, shell tucks, decorative stitching, double-needle pintucks, rip stitching, and picot edging.

By combining different techniques, the company can create intricate details, dimensional textures, and distinctive decorative effects that help brands express their individual design identities.

For printing, the company offers sublimation transfer printing using modern equipment. This provides an alternative to embroidery and can be selected according to the design, material, and intended application. It also handles processing at the greige-fabric and cut-fabric stages, allowing customers to discuss production requirements in line with their product specifications and manufacturing processes. By offering both embroidery and printing, Kawashima Embroidery can accommodate a variety of decorative requirements for apparel and fashion accessories.

The company also undertakes sewing and product manufacturing for items such as Japanese protective amulets, bags, pouches, and masks. In 2020, it carried out mask sewing work commissioned by a local municipal government, demonstrating its ability to handle sewing projects beyond conventional apparel. With embroidery, printing, and sewing available under one roof, customers can consult the company about both decorative processing and the manufacture of finished products.
