Swimwear Bali Logo Indonesia

Printing Fabric

We digitally Print using Italian MS machines on super-soft recycled Nylon from REPREVE® in the US. This method of printing impregnates the dyes into the fabric, allowing your motifs to retain their ever-so-new look, never fading or looking tired. Every other Bali Swim manufacturer prints using sublimation machines on Polyester, a process of heat-pressing motifs onto the top of the fabric. 

The brands we produce know very well that selecting to work digitally, even if it takes a little more time, sells much faster with greater customer satisfaction than selecting to work with a local Bali print via sublimation on lower-grade polyester, such as Vita PL.

Please ensure artwork is provided in Vector format, such as EPS, PDF, CDR or SVG, 300 dpi resolution, repeatable and to scale. If this is an issue share what you have, and our graphics team will review and advise accordingly.

Sample Meters

We print samples in 2m sections & bulk orders in 70m rolls or more.
Allow 2-3 weeks for any sample request, strike-off or production orders.

Sample meters are printed in 2m sections, with bulk orders of 70m+.
Allow 2-3 weeks for sample meters or colour strike-offs.

Sublimation
Printing

Sublimation Printing

If you’re short on time & require a speedy solution, we print locally in Bali using Vita or REPREVE® Polyester. 
Sublimation is a process of heat-pressing motifs onto the fabric’s surface. It is more suited to brighter colours, mainly used for Activewear production.
Colours may fade in time, with fabrics harsher to the touch.
Allow a day or two to print with no MOQ.

Custom Created Prints

Drawing prints by hand can be expensive and time-consuming. You will need good graphic skills or pay somebody to create them. Due to this, many first-time brand owners opt to find an online motif instead.

Purchasing Prints Online

Selecting ready-made motifs reduces a costly and time-consuming task to one that can be completed in an hour or so with minimal effort & cost. Prints can be easily found on sites like Shutterstock and purchased for just a few dollars. Add a few words in the search bar describing the motif you’re seeking, for example, ‘abstract prints’. Now go to the drop-down menu on the top left side, select Vector format, and you’ll find something like this. Select the motif you like, and note that more similar images will open below.

Once you have made your selection, send them to us as links with a screenshot to allow us to check they are repeatable & in the correct format. With our approval, you may purchase yourself or for 20 USD, we will purchase on your behalf.

NOTE

Vector-formated prints allow colours to be edited in minutes.
For example, a sky and dark blue, green, and brown motif can easily be turned into a black, grey, ivory, and tan motif.
See an example of a motif, printed in four colours ways. Other sellers can be found at stock.adobe.com, vectorstock.com, etc. Also, you can select any print on our Pinterest page free of charge.
