Fabric Printing

Find answers about ordering fabric printing through our website, including fabric options, printable dimensions, artwork preparation and production time.


Do you print on customer-provided fabric?

No. We only print on FABX Studio fabrics and materials.

Customer-provided fabric, garments, blank products and pre-made items are not accepted.


How do I order fabric printing?

Choose your fabric listing, review its printable dimensions and artwork requirements, upload or link your print-ready artwork, select the required quantity and complete checkout.

Fabric printing is ordered by length. Increase the quantity to cover the full print length required.

For example, artwork spanning 2 metres requires an order quantity covering 2 metres.


What is the maximum print size?

Most fabrics can be printed up to 145 cm wide and up to 5 metres long continuously.

For Chiffon Silk Doff, Viscose Marble and Bandung Voile, the maximum continuous print size is up to 110 cm wide and up to 5 metres long.

Follow the printable dimensions on your chosen fabric listing. Complete any splitting, resizing or layout adjustments before uploading. Artwork preparation is not included.


What file resolution do I need?

Prepare your artwork at its final print dimensions. 300 DPI is recommended; the minimum is 200 DPI at actual print size.

Use a clear, high-resolution original. Increasing the DPI setting of a blurry or pixelated image does not make it print-ready.

Check that text, logos and fine details are sharp before uploading.

FABX prints the artwork supplied. Artwork correction and image enhancement are not included.


What file format should I send?

AI, PDF, PSD and TIFF are preferred.

High-resolution PNG or JPG may also be accepted for image-based artwork.

Outline fonts and expand strokes where applicable.

Follow any file requirements stated on your chosen listing.


Which colour mode should I use?

Prepare artwork in RGB colour mode unless your chosen listing states otherwise. Screen colours and printed fabric colours may differ because of the fabric base, texture, print method, lighting and screen display.


Can I submit a repeat pattern?

Yes. Prepare a correctly sized, seamless repeat file before uploading.

Visible breaks or mismatched edges in the supplied repeat may appear in the print. Repeat setup and correction are not included.


Will FABX adjust, resize or correct my artwork?

No. We print the artwork supplied.

Design edits, resizing, layout changes, colour correction and typo correction are not included.

If a file is inaccessible, incomplete or unsuitable for production, we may contact you for clarification before proceeding.


Will I receive a digital proof?

A digital proof is optional where offered on the product page.

Select whether you want to approve a proof before printing. If requested, production begins only after your written approval. Otherwise, print-ready artwork may proceed after review.

We will contact you if clarification is needed. Digital proofing does not include artwork editing or physical sampling.


Do different fabrics print differently?

Yes. Colour, sharpness, softness and print depth can vary with the fabric base, weave, absorbency and printing method. Natural fabrics and polyester fabrics do not produce identical results. Check the material-specific notes on the listing.


What variations can occur in fabric printing?

Slight variation in colour, placement, shrinkage, stretching or surface appearance can occur within normal textile production tolerances. Natural fabrics may produce a softer, more organic print result. Normal variation is not automatically a production fault. If you believe there is a problem with a received order, use the issue-reporting guidance in Returns & Order Issues.


Should I order a swatch or test print first?

Order a swatch pack to assess fabric texture and feel.

A test print assesses printed fabric; it does not include sewing or finished-product construction.

Allow time to receive and review it before placing a larger order.


How long does fabric printing take?

Production takes approximately 7 working days, or up to 10 working days for larger orders, excluding weekends and relevant public holidays.

Check your chosen listing for its production time. Artwork clarification, pending approval and delivery require additional time.


When does production begin?

Production begins only after payment, final artwork and any required approval or clarification are fully confirmed.

Time spent resolving file access, artwork questions or pending approval is additional to production time.


Can I request urgent fabric printing?

Website orders follow the production time stated on the listing.

Rush production and priority scheduling are not available through website checkout.

We do not offer same-day production. Choosing faster delivery does not shorten production time.


Before you order

Check your chosen fabric’s printable dimensions, artwork requirements and production time before completing checkout.

Order a swatch pack or test print if you need to assess the fabric or print result before ordering.
