FAQ
Getting Started
The first step is to price your designs, usually using front and back screenshots of the styles you want to replicate or redesign, with notes on any changes you want made. Tech packs and clear line drawings are also workable, though tech packs are more of a thing of the past as we create patterns digitally using state-of-the-art 2D Auto-CAD digital software.
We only need to know the designs you want to produce in what fabric and whether each design will be plain or printed. We don’t need the exact colours and prints at this stage; that comes later after you have approved our prices.
The more accurate and easy to understand your handover, the closer the estimated prices will be. We only know the real price after you approve our samples and the exact costs.

Many things. Firstly, as there is no MOQ per colour with stock colours, you can add more colours to your PO. Orders will be dispatched much faster than when requesting colours to be Imported, which come in 70m rolls. If you can’t find your colours in our stocks, you may select from “Colours To Be Imported” on our fabric page.
Being able to process orders quickly we consider paramount to any brands success.
We offer a MOQ of 300 pieces per PO, such as 150 sports tops and leggings, 30 pieces per style, and three pieces per size, colour, and print. Your collection can include any number of designs, colours, and sizes.
The MOQ remains the same if you combine custom designs with our ready-to-order designs.

We have always been committed to being as ethical and environmentally friendly as possible. Almost all our fabrics are 100% recycled and sustainably produced, reducing your brand’s carbon footprint by as much as 80% during manufacture. These are all sourced from premium fabric suppliers such as REPREVE® in the United States, Carvico® & ECONYL® in Italy, all OEKO-TEX and GRS certified.
All packaging is 100% biodegradable cassava bags with dyes supplied by either DYSTAR in Germany or Huntsman in the United States.

Shop Fabric or Starter Packs
Yes, we dye colour rolls based on 70m lots. One roll produces around 200 bikini tops and bottoms in as many designs as you like.
Custom colours must be used fully in your bulk purchase order.
Allow five weeks to dye & import.
Printing
Yes, we offer custom printing. Our print requests are handled with precision and quality using Italian MS Print machines in China. This ensures superior colour saturation, surpassing what’s possible in Bali. Prints come in 70 meters or more and take approximately three to four weeks to arrive.
Yes. We print on Polyester using a process known as sublimation printing. Printing on poly does not produce the same quality or softness as digital printing on Nylon. It looks good & feels quite nice, but over time, all sublimation prints will fade as the colours are heat-pressed onto the top of the fabric.
We can print on Polyester in Bali in a few days if you’re short on time.
Ready-To-Order Designs

We received a tax-free status on the import of fabrics due to our compliance with all of the rules and regulations set down by the Indonesian government regarding employee treatment. This includes free medical insurance for employees, their spouses, and up to three children, including doctor visits, prescribed medication, and hospitalizations. It also includes a daily hot meal and double wages for overtime. This saves us 35% import tax when importing fabrics, which all Bali Swim producers must pay.
