What is your minimum order per colour?

It depends on the base fabric and whether the shade is from our stock range or a custom lab dip. Stock shades start considerably lower than custom ones. Send the fabric and shade you have in mind and we will quote the exact minimum rather than a marketing number.

Can you match a colour I already sell?

Yes. Send a physical swatch, a hex value, or a colour reference from your existing supplier. We produce three lab dips against it and you approve the closest one on real fabric before bulk dyeing starts.

What does GSM actually change?

GSM is grams per square metre — the fabric's weight. Lower weights are lighter and more sheer with a fluid fall; higher weights are more opaque, warmer and hold their shape. Every base fabric in our range runs across a band rather than a single fixed weight, so you choose where in that band your product sits.

How long does production take?

Around 15 days from approved sample to finished goods for a standard order. Full sampling takes around 10 days and lab dips happen before that clock starts. If your deadline is tighter, tell us the date up front — we would rather say no than miss it.

What volume can you handle?

Our capacity is about 500,000 pieces per month, so repeat programmes and seasonal peaks do not push your next order down the queue. Small first orders are welcome too — capacity is there for when you scale.

Which countries do you ship to?

We currently export to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. If your market is not on that list, ask — it usually just means we have not shipped there yet, not that we cannot.

Do you supply roll goods or finished hijabs?

Both. We can ship fabric by the roll for your own cutting and sewing, or deliver finished pieces cut, hemmed, labelled and retail-packed under your brand.

Can you produce our labels and packaging?

Yes — woven labels, care labels, hang tags, thank-you cards, retail sleeves and rigid gift boxes are all finished in-house. Upload your logo in the customization studio to see it placed on each one.

Which certifications can you provide?

The mill holds OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and BSCI. Certification availability for a specific order still depends on the fabric and dye route, so tell us which standard your market requires and we will confirm in writing what we can supply for that order.

Hijab Packaging and Labels: A Private Label Checklist

Labels, hang tags and packaging are the difference between a hijab that can be sold and a hijab that sits in a warehouse. Retailers, physical and online, will not accept a product without a fibre composition label, a country of origin and a brand identification, and marketplaces layer their own packaging requirements on top. For a private label buyer the packaging decision is also a brand decision: what the label says, where it sits, and how the product arrives. This guide covers the three layers — the legal label, the brand label and the retail packaging — and the points where hijabs differ from ordinary apparel.

The Legal Layer: What Must Be On the Product

Two markets dominate wholesale hijab requirements, and they differ in detail. The table below summarises the core obligations; the official sources are listed at the end and should be checked against your specific product.

Requirement	United States (FTC rules)	European Union (Regulation 1007/2011)
Fibre composition	Percentages by weight using generic fibre names	Percentages, listed in descending order by weight
Country of origin	Required on the label	Required for imported products
Manufacturer identification	Company name or RN number	Manufacturer or EU operator identification
Animal-origin materials	Declared where applicable	Non-textile parts of animal origin must be declared
Attachment	Label must be securely attached	Label must be firmly attached, normally sewn in
Scope	Textile fibre products	Products containing at least 80% textile fibre

A jersey or modal hijab is made almost entirely of textile fibre, so it falls inside both regimes. The practical implication is small but easy to get wrong: any elastane content must be declared as a percentage. A stretch jersey hijab is not "cotton" — it is, for example, 95% cotton and 5% elastane, and that is what the label has to say.

The Care Label: Where Hijabs Differ

Care labelling rules vary by market and are frequently supplemented by retailer and marketplace requirements, so the working answer is to specify the care symbols that match how the product should actually be treated. The ISO 3758 symbol system is the common language across markets.

For hijabs, the care label has to line up with the fabric and any print. It sits against skin, is worn frequently and is washed often. A care instruction that promises more than the fabric can take — a hot wash instruction on a print whose wash fastness was tested cool — creates returns and, in a claims dispute, an unsupported statement. The care label should be written from the test results for the finished piece, not from habit.

It is also the first place where the coming data requirements surface: the care information on the label is one of the fields the EU Digital Product Passport record will carry, so a label that matches the product file is doing double duty.

Private Label Labels: Which Type, and Where

Once the legal content is fixed, the brand layer is a design and comfort decision.

Woven labels. Durable, with a premium hand, folded and sewn into the inside seam. The default for brands that want the label to survive the life of the product. Higher minimums than printed options.

Printed satin labels. Softer, lighter, lower minimums, and a common choice for startups and short runs.

Heat transfer or printed-in marks. Minimal and flat against the skin, which matters for a hijab: the label sits near the neck and hairline, so a stiff label edge is felt immediately. Direct marking avoids the seam bulk entirely.

Care and composition labels. These carry the legal content and are often combined with the brand label on one folded piece.

Placement is a comfort decision as much as a compliance one. On hijabs, the inside back seam or the hem area keeps the label away from the face-side edges. Our own studio sample is a satin woven label, printed and folded, sewn into the inside seam — a configuration that survives washing without stiffening against the neck.

Packaging: Matching the Channel

Packaging is where a private label order meets its sales channel, so the specification should start from the channel, not the other way round.

Wholesale and distribution. Individual poly bags with a barcode label, packed in cartons with a packing list. If you sell through retail distribution, the barcode and carton labelling requirements come from the retailer.

Direct to consumer and boutique retail. This is where presentation does the work: retail sleeves, rigid gift boxes, ribbons and thank-you cards. These are brand assets, and they are the items most often ordered late and then rushed.

Marketplaces. Beyond the barcode, marketplaces impose their own labelling and packaging requirements for the product and the shipping unit — check them before the packaging order is placed, not after.

There is one compliance link worth flagging in 2026: packaging materials carry their own environmental claims, and the substantiation rules that now apply to product claims apply to packaging too. If the sleeve is described as recycled or recyclable, that statement needs evidence, not good intentions.

Factory Perspective: Where Packaging Orders Go Wrong

On the production side, packaging problems cluster in three places.

The label does not match the product. Composition or care content written for one fabric, printed on labels used across a whole range, is the most common failure — and it is a legal exposure for the brand, not the mill. Labels should be matched to the SKU, and the composition should come from the same production data used for compliance records.

Comfort is discovered too late. A stiff label edge against the neck is invisible in a flat-lay photo and obvious to the first customer. Approve the label type and position on a full-size finished sample, worn or handled, not on a swatch.

Consistency across a run. Packaging is produced in batches too: print colour, fold, ribbon tension. When a reorder arrives in slightly different packaging, it reads as a different product. Keep a physical packaging standard alongside the label standard, the same way dye lots are kept.

All of this is finished in-house at our own facility — woven labels, care labels, hang tags, thank-you cards, retail sleeves and rigid gift boxes — which is what allows the label content, the packaging standard and the production record to stay matched to the same order.

What Buyers Should Confirm Before Ordering

The full label content checklist against your target market: fibre percentages including any elastane, country of origin, and manufacturer identification.

Care label content with its test basis — the wash and care instructions matched to fastness and shrinkage results for the finished piece.

Label type, position and attachment method, checked for comfort on a finished sample.

Brand label format and its minimum: woven, printed satin or heat transfer, with the artwork and fold specified.

Packaging specification by channel: poly bag and barcode for wholesale, retail sleeve or box for direct sales, marketplace requirements where applicable.

Consistency between label, hang tag and product data — the same composition and origin across every surface a customer reads.

Evidence behind any packaging sustainability claim, kept on file the same way product claims are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a hijab need a fibre composition label? Yes, in both major markets. Products made mainly of textile fibre must disclose fibre composition by percentage, along with country of origin and manufacturer identification. Check the exact wording rules for your market before printing.

Is a care label legally required? It varies by market and is often required by the retailer or marketplace as well. The safe approach is to specify care symbols consistent with ISO 3758 and consistent with how the product is actually tested and treated.

What should the care label say for a printed hijab? Match it to the test results for the finished piece — typically a cool or gentle wash and line drying for prints. A care instruction that over-promises is both a returns risk and an unsupported claim.

Can the label go on a hang tag instead of the product? No. The legal information must be attached to the product itself. Hang tags supplement the label; they do not replace it.

What is the minimum order for private label labels and packaging? It depends on the label type — woven labels carry higher minimums than printed options, and packaging minimums follow the box or sleeve format. Send the full specification and the order quantity and the exact minimum can be quoted.

Can you produce the packaging with our branding? Yes — woven labels, care labels, hang tags, thank-you cards, retail sleeves and rigid gift boxes are all finished in-house, so the artwork, label content and production record stay tied to one order.
