Fabric capability
Printed Fabrics & Custom Print Development
Print development coordinated with the base fabric, artwork, colour expectations and application so the final construction works for the intended garment.
Development directions
What we can develop
Start with a construction direction, then refine it around your garment. The fabric photographs are visual references; performance is agreed and evaluated for each project.
Base fabric selection
Choose a suitable woven or knit base before reviewing print appearance, handle and end use.
Request Development: Base fabric selectionArtwork and colour review
Artwork, repeat, colour direction and approval stages are aligned before sampling.
Request Development: Artwork and colour reviewEngineered placement
Placement and panel requirements can be discussed where the garment needs a considered print layout.
Request Development: Engineered placementPrint and finish balance
The print process is reviewed alongside handle, stretch, wash and finishing priorities.
Request Development: Print and finish balanceMaterial directions
- Woven base fabrics
- Knit base fabrics
- Lightweight shell and lining bases
- Customer artwork or reference direction
Performance priorities
- Colour and artwork control
- Handle preservation
- Stretch compatibility
- Wash and care considerations
- Custom finishing
- Application-specific review

Fabric references for your brief
Real collection details show this capability and related fabric directions that can be considered together. They are starting points for development, not a stock catalogue or a guarantee of performance.

Checked woven surface
A fine checked surface provides a starting point for discussing structure, appearance and the intended shell or lining use.
Discuss this development: Checked woven surface
Brushed surface direction
Review the surface feel alongside garment contact, layering and the target construction.

A clear development process
- Application
Define the garment and how it will be used.
- Construction
Review material, structure and reference direction.
- Performance
Agree finish and evaluation priorities.
- Development
Review sampling questions and next steps.
- Approval
Confirm the construction for your project.
Have a reference fabric or target specification?
Start with your application, construction and performance requirements. After reviewing the brief, we can arrange the appropriate way to exchange photos, swatches, specifications or technical files.
