Develop From a Reference Sample
A swatch, product photo, specification or target performance can be the starting point. We review composition, weave, yarn specification, GSM, usable width, hand feel and the likely finishing route.
CUSTOM FABRIC DEVELOPMENT
From Reference Sample or Fabric Idea to Bulk Production
Bring us a reference sample, specification, product image or garment concept. We work with you to turn the idea into an approvable woven fabric and a practical route to bulk production.
YOUR IDEA · OUR DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
Start with what you have and define what the fabric needs to do.
The intended garment and end use set the direction. We review construction, composition, weight, usable width, hand feel, finishing route, target performance, MOQ and timing, then confirm a feasible route for sampling and approval.
- Application and end use
- Fabric construction and composition
- Performance targets and test methods
- MOQ, colour quantity and delivery timing
FABRIC DEVELOPMENT
From a reference sample to an approved fabric direction.
Start with what you already have. We review the construction, colour, hand feel, finishing and target performance, then define what needs to be confirmed before bulk.
Colour Matching & Lab Dips
Pantone references, customer colour standards or an approved physical sample can be used to coordinate lab dips and establish the bulk colour reference.
Specification Adjustment
GSM, usable width, stretch, hand feel and construction can be adjusted where technically and commercially workable, then reconfirmed before bulk production.
Functional Finishing & Conversion
Coating, printing, lamination and functional finishing are selected around the fibre, fabric construction, garment application and required performance.
FUNCTIONAL FINISHING & CONVERSION
Coating, printing, lamination and functional finishing.
Finishing is part of the fabric specification, not an afterthought. The route is selected around the base fabric, garment use, required hand feel and performance target, then confirmed through development.
COATING
Coating options matched to the required surface and performance
Depending on the base fabric and target specification, PA or PU coating can be developed for surface character, hand feel and project-specific performance. Coating is distinct from a laminated TPU membrane construction.
- PA coating
- PU coating
- Clear, white, black or coloured coating where feasible
- Project-specific hand feel and performance targets
PRINTING
Printing selected around fibre, artwork and end use
Pigment, reactive, disperse, transfer/sublimation or digital printing can be reviewed where suitable. The process depends on fibre content, construction, artwork, colour requirement, fastness target and end use.
- Pigment printing
- Reactive or disperse printing where suitable
- Transfer / sublimation printing
- Digital printing
LAMINATION
Lamination for membrane, backing and multi-layer constructions
TPU membrane, two-layer or three-layer constructions and knitted or fleece backings can be developed where the garment requires a multi-layer fabric. Waterproof and breathability claims require agreed construction and test data.
- TPU membrane lamination
- Two-layer and three-layer constructions
- Knitted-fabric backing
- Fleece backing
FUNCTIONAL FINISHES
Functional performance developed for the intended end use
Functional requirements are reviewed with the base construction and finishing route. Depending on the project, this can include water repellency, waterproof constructions, quick dry, moisture management, UPF 50+ targets, breathability, printing, coating, lamination and TPU membrane solutions.
- Water-repellent / C0 DWR finishing
- Waterproof constructions via coating or membrane
- Quick-dry and moisture-management finishing
- UPF 50+ targets when required
- Breathability targets through construction / coating / lamination selection
- Printing and coating routes
- Lamination and TPU membrane solutions
OUR FABRIC DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
A practical route from your idea to approved bulk fabric
Construction, colour, hand feel, finishing, performance and commercial requirements stay connected as the reference is developed and approved.
-
01
Requirement Review
Confirm garment application, specification, performance targets and commercial requirements.
-
02
Fabric Analysis
Review construction, composition, GSM, width, hand feel, stretch and finishing options.
-
03
Sampling & Lab Dips
Prepare sample development and colour references, then make the required technical adjustments.
-
04
Sample Approval
Confirm colour, hand feel, construction, appearance and required performance before bulk.
-
05
Bulk Coordination
Follow approved specifications, colour standards and finishing requirements during production.
-
06
Inspection & Shipment
Coordinate fabric inspection, required testing, packing and export documentation.
SPECIFICATION & TESTING SUPPORT
Keep the approved specification connected to bulk production.
The approved specification and physical reference guide bulk follow-up. When independent testing is required, the submitted sample, test method and acceptance target are agreed before the test is arranged.

What buyers can expect during custom development
A Clear Starting Point
We confirm the garment use, available reference and the technical or commercial points that matter before sampling begins.
Approvals Before Bulk
Samples, lab dips and key specifications are reviewed before the project moves into bulk production.
Verification When Needed
Inspection and third-party testing can be coordinated when the buyer or project requires documented verification.
Project Follow-Up
Development decisions, approvals, bulk status and shipment information stay connected throughout the order.
