Custom Sourcing and Design

Our Custom Fabric Sourcing and Design Department is prepared to handle your custom fabric needs, whether they be for custom print fabrics, custom yarn-dyed plaids and stripes, or custom solid dyed fabrics.

Prints
There are two ways you can work with us for print design:
1. Bring us your design, or,
2. Work with our designers to create an original design to meet your needs.

Though it is preferable to submit a complete art file, our Design Department can offer creative design from our in-house painters/computer CAD artists, as well as off-shore design studios and licensed artists if necessary. Depending on the extent of art services needed, a fee may be required.

Printing minimums: Printing minimums vary depending on the printing method you choose. Screen printing minimums are generally 3000 yds per design and 1000 yards per color. If your needs are less than this, you might consider our in-house digital printing option, which offers much lower minimums. Learn more about digital printing here. We also offer low minimum digital print options with our overseas resources.

Yarn-dyed Plaids and Stripes

We design and produce a wide range of yarn-dyed fabrics in various weights and constructions. Minimums are generally 1000 - 3000 yds per color/pattern.

Solid Dyed

Most fabrics in our open line are available for dyeing in your custom colors. Minimums range from 500 - 3000 yds per color depending on the item. We can also use our international mill connections to source your specific fabric needs.
