Custom Color Cotton Canvas: Process, Sampling and MOQ
How custom color and printing work at our mill: color matching, sampling, screen printing and minimums.
Custom color is where a fabric mill either saves your launch timeline or breaks it. Here is how custom color cotton canvas actually works at our Shenzhen facility.
Step 1: Color matching
Send us a Pantone reference or a physical color chip. Our dyeing team matches it on full-process reactive dyeing equipment, on either 8 oz or 12 oz 100% cotton canvas.
Step 2: Sampling before bulk
We dye a lab sample and a small yardage sample so you can test sewing, printing and hardware assembly before committing to bulk production.
Step 3: Printing options
Custom colors combine with screen printing and machine printing (丝印/大机印) for logos and patterns in European and Japanese-Korean styles.
Minimums and lead time
Domestically we sell from 1 yard, which keeps sampling fast. Export minimums and lead times depend on color, weight and finishing - send us your specification and target date for a concrete quotation.
