Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our scuba fabrics, customization, and ordering process
What is the minimum order quantity for custom scuba fabric?
Our MOQ is 500 kgs per color, which is significantly lower than most mills. This allows emerging brands and companies to test new products without massive upfront investment. We can even provide sample yardage (5-10 yards) for testing before committing to bulk production.
How long does it take to receive my custom fabric order?
The typical timeline is 8-10 weeks total for international orders: 3-7 days for lab dip approval, 20-45 days for bulk production, and 3-6 weeks for sea freight (depending on destination). For urgent orders, we offer expedited production and air freight options that can reduce total time to 5-6 weeks.
Can you match our specific Pantone color or create custom prints?
Absolutely! We provide custom color dyeing with Pantone matching and lab dip samples within 3-7 days for your approval. We also offer sublimation printing, digital printing, and rotary screen printing for patterns, logos, and custom designs. Our dyeing achieves excellent color saturation and wash-fastness.
What certifications do your fabrics have for European markets?
All our scuba fabrics can be supplied with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification (annually renewed), ensuring they are free from harmful substances and EU REACH compliant. We also offer GRS certification for recycled content fabrics. We can provide all necessary test reports and documentation for customs clearance and buyer compliance requirements.
What fiber compositions and fabric weights can you produce?
We can produce virtually any composition from 100% polyester to complex modal/nylon/spandex blends.

Widths typically 150-185 cm. We work with you to engineer the exact specifications your application needs.
