Printing on Swimwear Fabrics

At Swimwear Bali, we use state-of-the-art Italian MS machines for digital printing on super-soft recycled Nylon from REPREVE®, sourced from the US. Digital printing impregnates the dyes into the fabric, ensuring your designs maintain a fresh, always-new appearance.

Unlike other Bali swimwear manufacturers that use sublimation machines to heat-press designs onto Polyester, our digital printing technique offers a softer touch and better stretch and avoids the plasticky polyester feel.

Sublimation printing is more suited to very bright neon colours. For an organic look, request digital.

In our experience, customers who add digital prints to their swimwear collection grow faster than brands that only work with plain colours.

In a nutshell

At Swimwear Bali, we offer digital printing on REPREVE®, a super-soft recycled fabric from the USA, at a lower cost than other Bali manufacturers who use sublimation printing on recycled Polyester. Digital printing on Nylon provides true-to-life prints and superior body-enhancing properties compared to polyester prints.

Whether your own custom motifs or purchased online, our price includes all fabric & print costs.

Sample meters are available in 2-meter sections, with bulk orders starting at 70 meters.

Sublimation Printing

We offer local sublimation printing on Polyester in Bali for quick turnaround times. Often referred to as digital sublimation, it has nothing to do with digital printing. This is a process of heat-pressing your motifs onto fabrics, ideal for bright or neon colours.
Printing requires just a few days with no minimum order quantity (MOQ).

Custom Prints

Creating custom prints can be expensive and time-consuming, requiring good graphic skills or hiring a designer. If you have a custom print, submit your artwork in vector format, such as EPS, PDF, CDR, SVG, or Ai, with a resolution of 300 dpi, repeatable, and to scale. If you encounter any issues, share your files with us, and our graphics team will assist you, often free of charge.
