Exceptional prints, made in Bali
Digital Print Swimwear
Sharp, true colour on recycled nylon, ready for your collection in weeks.
A Different Standard
Digital Swimwear Printing
We are the only manufacturer in Bali offering a true-to-life digital print service using Italian MS machines on nylon. We print on REPREVE® Nylon from the US, the softest fabric we offer, for true-to-life colours and superb colour matching to your artwork. Every other Bali-based swimwear manufacturer prints digital motifs via sublimation on polyester. Best to check before you begin.
We bring in printed fabrics through our Tax Free Fabric Import Facility. We start on your prints first, along with any custom accessories and heat-press logos, and work on the rest of your order at the same time. That way, prints only add 1 to 2 weeks to your timeline.
Why digital print
Why We Print on Nylon
About 95% of labels that add prints choose digital print on nylon over sublimation on polyester, even though it takes a little longer.
Digital print on nylon
Feel
Our softest swimwear fabric.
Smooth against the skin.
Colour
A close match to your artwork.
For clearly defined print detail.
Price
Lower cost than Bali sublimation.
Premium nylon at a better price.
Need it faster?
Short on time? We also offer sublimation printing in Bali, which takes just 2 to 3 working days. It’s great for bright colours, but polyester isn’t as soft as nylon.
Print fabric
Hawaii Print Fabric
Digital print swimwear is one of our most popular services, and Hawaii is the fabric we print on. Its fine, smooth surface keeps every detail sharp, and it shapes the body well and dries quickly. Like all our swim fabrics, it stands up to saltwater and chlorine and is certified by U Trust and GRS. We print it with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified Huntsman dyes.
How it works
How Our Digital Printing Works
1
Choose and send your artwork
New to prints? Our free Print Guide shows you, step by step, how to find a ready-made print you love and get the right file to send us. If you already work with print files, vector files (AI, EPS or SVG) give the sharpest prints. JPG, PNG, TIFF, PSD or PDF files also work, as long as they’re high resolution (at least 300 dpi). If you have exact colours in mind, send us their Pantone codes too.
Easier than you think
Adding prints is simpler than ordering a custom colour we don’t have in stock. Sites like Shutterstock and Adobe Stock sell thousands of ready-made prints for about USD 10 each. Just pick one and send us the file. Our graphics team checks it will print properly and, if you’d like, shows you how it will look on each of your styles.

Approve a sample of your print
Before we print your full order, we print your design on an A4 piece of the real fabric, called a strike-off, so you can check it. It’s ready in about 2 weeks.
Digital approval (fastest)
We photograph and film it for you. USD 30 per design.
Physical strike-off
We post it to you to see and feel. USD 30 plus courier.
Two-metre print run
Enough fabric to sew samples in your actual print, though it nearly doubles the sampling time. USD 60 plus courier.

MOQs & Timelines
The minimum is 70 metres per print, which must be used up entirely in your bulk PO. Allow approx. 3 weeks for your printed fabric to arrive.
Print questions
Digital Print FAQ
What is the minimum order for a digital print?
70 metres per print, which makes about 100 mixed bikini sets, and you can order any amount above that. For smaller runs, sublimation on white polyester in Bali has no minimum.
How much time does digital printing add to my order?
Only 1 to 2 weeks at most. Your printed fabric is ready to cut about 3 weeks after you ask for it, but we start it first and work on the rest of your order at the same time. Making your collection takes 3 to 5 weeks, and DHL Express then delivers it to your door in about 3 to 5 days.
Can you design a print for me?
We don’t design prints from scratch, but our graphics team can adjust your print artwork and place it on the styles you want to print as a print mock-up, in most cases free of charge.
Do placement prints cost more than all-over prints?
Yes. Placement prints are priced higher than random all-over prints, and one-way prints cost more because they use more fabric. Every print still has to repeat, so the artwork fits correctly around each piece.
Will my print stay exclusive to my label?
Yes. Your designs are kept confidential and are never used for other clients. We can also sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before you share them.
