Adding Custom Prints
Since opening our factory, we’ve been printing fabrics for both local and overseas clients. Contrary to popular belief, printing custom digital motifs for swimwear is simpler and quicker than ordering solid colors. Typically, prints are processed and shipped within one to two weeks, resulting in minimal impact on production timelines.
Why Print with us?
Our tax-free license lets us offer premium digital prints on REPREVE® at a lower cost than much inferior local sublimation prints on polyester.
Printed swimwear styles are almost as low as swimwear in solid colours.
Why We Print Digitally Overseas?
Our digital printing service offers an unmatched quality with vibrant, fade-resistant colors, no matter how many times used or washed. We print using American REPREVE® recycled nylon (GRS & U-Trust certified) and Italian MS Digital Print machines, along with Oeko-Tex certified Huntsman dyes for high performance and eco-friendliness. REPREVE® is produced using salvaged fishing nets and post-consumer waste, offering a soft, sustainable, luxury fabric without compromise.
Printing in Bali
Printing in Bali is only possible via a process called sublimation printing on polyester, This method heat-presses motifs onto the fabric’s surface rather than integrating them into the fibres. Only suitable for Neon bright colours.
Digital vs. Sublimation
- Digital (Nylon): Dyes penetrate fabric for deep, organic hues.
- Sublimation (Polyester): Heat-pressed dyes create bright neon tones but lack depth.
Prints help brands scale faster than solid colours alone, making them a strategic choice for growth.
Print Orders & Production
- Sample prints: Available in 2-meter sections
- Bulk prints: Ordered in 70-meter rolls for use in production
For fast turnaround times, we can also print via sublimation on Vita polyester taking just a few days with no MOQ.
How to Order
To produce quality prints with clearly defined lines and imagery, take note of the following. Even if it may sound complex, it’s an easy job for any experienced graphic artist. If you possess skills in Photoshop or Illustrator, the following should be a breeze.
First, your artwork needs to be repeatable and to scale as this ensures a high-quality result with crystal clear definition.
- Repeatable: Your prints must be seamlessly tiled without visible gaps.
- To scale: To avoid distortion, artwork must match the print dimensions.
Handing Over Prints
Do’s:
- Provide artwork in Vector format (AI, EPS, SVG, or CDR) for the best quality, ensuring designs are repeatable and to scale.
- High-resolution Raster images (JPEG, PNG, or PDF) are acceptable if vector files are unavailable.
Don’ts:
- Do not convert low-resolution raster images into vector format, as this results in blurry and unusable artwork.

Custom Creations or Online Prints
Creating custom prints can be expensive and time-consuming, requiring good graphic skills or hiring a designer.
Selecting ready-made prints online is a cost-effective and time-saving process. Websites like Shutterstock.com offer a wide range of prints that can be purchased for a few dollars. For example, we first selected Vector from the top left side menu bar and added “flower prints seamless” to find this.
With your selected motif, send its link along with a screenshot over to us. We will then check that the prints you selected are suitable for digital prints.
We selected the motif below.
It’s repeatable left to right, top to bottom.
Most motifs repeat every 10 to 20cm.
