SWIMWEAR BALI FAQS
Getting Started
The first thing to do is price your selected designs in your chosen fabrics, whether in plain or print. As there is a huge difference between selecting stock fabrics and requesting colours to be imported, your decision will play a vital role in the ability to place bulk POs that arrive at your door in the fastest way possible.
To be clear on the designs you want us to produce, we require a handover of front & back images with notes on any changes; We will only need to know the exact colours, prints, or custom branding after you have approved our prices.
Tech packs and line drawings are also acceptable.
As we manufacture both custom designs & offer a collection of the best-selling shapes, including what will be trending in 2024, allows you to assemble a collection that’s unique & fresh to the market.
The clearer your handover, the more accurate our prices will be.

You need to note that we work in Vector format in EPS, PDF, CDR, or JPEG, 300 dpi, repeatable, and to scale for any print Artwork or custom branding requests. Should you find working in Vector complex, send us what you have, and our graphics team will see what they can do.
Having your orders processed quickly is paramount to most brands’ success. Selecting your colours from our stock lets us cut orders immediately upon receiving a purchase order. Also, as there is no MOQ for stock colours, you can add more colours to your PO with orders ready for dispatch in under six weeks. If you’re requesting colours to be imported, they come in 70m lots roll-based & can take six weeks or more to arrive & must be used up in your production PO.
