For colour development, send the fibre, target shade, quantity and testing requirements. Include a colour standard, Pantone reference or physical sample, and identify the yarn or finished product it should match.
Production Process
Dyeing
Colour development and dyeing for natural-fibre yarn and textile products. Share a colour reference and fibre requirements for review.
Ask whether a trial shade or lab dip is appropriate for your material. Agree on the colour reference and the sample-approval steps before production. Include the quantity and target delivery period in your inquiry.
Buyer and technical guide
Define the colour requirement before production
Colour must be communicated, measured and approved against an agreed reference. Start by defining that reference and the intended product.
Process basics
How the process works
Dyeing adds colour to textile material. The stage—fibre, yarn, fabric or garment—depends on the agreed manufacturing route. Confirm the material stage, colour reference and approval method in the project brief.
The decision
Define the colour requirement
State the colour reference, fibre composition and approval method together as one specification.
- fibre composition and preparation condition
- physical colour standard or named reference system
- intended product and natural base shade
- tolerance, test method and approval responsibility
- quantity by colour
Before an order
Agree the specification and terms
Use the quotation or order confirmation to agree the specification, quantity, delivery timing and each party's responsibilities.
