FAQS

Getting Started

Your first step should be to price the designs you have selected. To begin, we require images, such as screenshots of the designs you would like us to create, both the front and back views, as well as any changes you would like us to make. Additionally, you may provide technical packs or good, clear line drawings. It is not necessary for us to know the exact colors, prints, or custom branding in order to provide a quote. Anything like this will be handled once you approve our pricing. 

In order to estimate prices more accurately, we will need a clear handover.

In order to ensure that you are all clear, it is best to read the next question regarding selecting stock colors as opposed to requesting colours to be imported.

For more information, please refer to Handover to Costing.

When you select stock colors, we will be able to cut orders as soon as we receive your purchase order. Additionally, as there is no minimum order quantity for stock colors, you are able to include more colours in your PO and have orders ready for dispatch in approximately six weeks. It is possible to dye your colors if you can not find them in our stock. These come in 70 m rolls and generally take six to eight weeks to arrive. They must be used up in your production order, so you may not be able to add as many colours as you would like.

It is essential to the success of most brands to be able to process orders quickly.

Once you have approved our prices, you’re ready to place a bulk order. You can do this by filling in a Bulk Order Form & sending it back to us.

It depends on whether you selected your colours from our stock or requested prints, plain colours, or branded accessories to be imported. Anything to be imported is handled first.

Most brands who have worked with us for some time pre-order anything that requires importing, as it takes 4 to 6 weeks for them to arrive. Prioritizing any artwork, custom branding, or printing requests while your samples are being produced is advisable.

Bulk POs are normally dispatched within six weeks of receiving your fabrics & accessories. There are times of the year when order volumes are higher, so it’s smart to place your order earlier or allow more time.

We work with international body sizes plotted in 2D AUTOCAD.
