Custom printed swimwear fabric

Specify the printed base, not just the artwork

Record fiber composition, fabric construction, weight in GSM and usable width. Print appearance needs a physical strike-off on the proposed base, with repeat size, color reference and revision identified. A digital image cannot settle texture, opacity or the behavior of the print under garment stretch.

Give quantity per color or print and total quantity in meters, yards or rolls. Ask the proposed supplier to separate minimums, sampling charges and bulk fabric cost. The inquiry catalog does not establish an available width, inventory level, price or delivery date; those are quotation questions.

Keep approval stages separate

A stock swatch can help screen construction and hand feel. A lab dip addresses solid color, and a strike-off addresses printed appearance. Pre-production and bulk-lot checks must be agreed separately. Keep sample identity, date, reviewer and acceptable variation in a record your team can revisit before cutting.

If you require colorfastness, shrinkage, UV or stretch recovery evidence, state the test property and ask for method edition, conditioning, threshold and exact article identity. Generic brochure claims are not product results. Supplier certificates remain supplier or product documents; they are not certifications of ClothWorks Supply.

Use the Material Selector to organize open decisions, or read the procurement brief. Optional budgets should include currency and unit basis. Supplier preference expresses cost and service priorities without implying an independently verified rating.
