Textiles and apparel
Textiles and apparel sourcing depends on getting fabric composition, fit and construction right before a bulk run, since a fabric substitution or size grading error is expensive to fix once cut. Labelling requirements are also more detailed in this category than most.
What we source
- Cut-and-sew apparel across woven and knit fabrics
- Private label fashion and workwear
- Home textiles: bedding, towels and soft furnishings
- Bags, accessories and technical textiles
What typically goes wrong
- Fabric composition or weight is substituted between sample and bulk without notice
- Size grading does not match the pattern approved at sampling stage
- Care labelling and fibre content labels do not meet Australian requirements
- Colour consistency varies between fabric dye lots across a production run
What we need to quote
- Tech pack or pattern with measurements and size grading
- Fabric composition, weight and any performance requirements
- Trims, labelling and care instruction requirements
- Target quantity per size and colourway
Typical lead times
Apparel and textile production generally runs several weeks for sampling and fit approval, with bulk production commonly taking a further 6 to 10 weeks depending on fabric sourcing and order complexity, before freight.
Standards and labelling
Apparel sold in Australia generally requires fibre content and care labelling, and some textile products are subject to flammability standards depending on end use. We confirm labelling requirements against your product before bulk production.
