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 Product Compliance File Before Retail Launch

A hijab should not move from approved sample to retail listing until one product file connects the physical item, the market requirements and the production evidence. Before launch, keep the approved sample, fibre composition, dimensions, care wording, country-of-origin and identity details, packaging artwork, relevant test reports, batch references and final sign-off together. The file does not need every document a factory has ever produced. It needs the documents that prove this SKU is the product you approved, carries the information you reviewed and can be traced to the shipment you are releasing.

What a Retail Launch File Does

A retail launch file is the handoff point between sourcing, compliance, packaging and merchandising. It prevents four teams from working from four different versions of the same hijab.

File section	Core question	Typical owner
Product identity	What exact SKU is being sold?	Buyer and product team
Material and construction	What is it made from and how is it finished?	Factory and buyer
Market labelling	What must the customer be told?	Brand compliance team
Testing and quality	What evidence supports release?	Factory QC and buyer
Packaging and artwork	Does every printed surface match the SKU?	Brand and packaging team
Shipment record	Which batch was actually released?	Factory, buyer and logistics team

Use one file name or SKU code across the purchase order, sample card, artwork, inspection report and packing record. If the code changes, record the revision rather than silently replacing an old document.

The Seven Sections to Keep Before Listing

### 1. Product identity sheet

Start with a one-page identity sheet. Record the SKU, product name, collection, intended market, fabric name, fibre composition, weave or knit structure, target GSM or momme where relevant, finished length and width, colour or print reference, edge finish and size variant.

Do not rely on “modal hijab,” “silk scarf” or “premium jersey” as the complete identity. Those are commercial descriptions. The file needs the measurable and visible characteristics that distinguish one sellable item from another. If two colours use different dye lots or a printed version uses a different base, give them separate references when the production or testing evidence differs.

### 2. Approved sample and revision record

Keep one physical reference and one image record. The sample should show the finished hem, corners, label position, print placement, shade and packaging contact points. Record who approved it, the approval date and the revision number.

A fabric swatch is not always enough. A full-size sample shows drape, coverage, edge behaviour and the comfort of the label against the neck. For a private-label order, the approved sample is the bridge between the technical specification and what the customer will actually receive.

If the buyer changes the size, fibre blend, artwork, edge thread, label material or care instruction after approval, create a new revision. Do not leave the original sample in the file without explaining which version is released.

### 3. Fibre, origin and market label data

The label file should contain the fibre composition in the wording required for the destination market, the country-of-origin statement and the responsible brand, importer or dealer information where applicable. The final wording should match the product identity sheet and the production specification.

For the United States, review the applicable FTC textile and care-labelling requirements. For the European Union, check the fibre names, composition marking and language requirements under Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. A label review is not complete if the fibre percentage on the artwork differs from the supplier specification or if a care instruction belongs to an earlier fabric version.

Keep the approved artwork PDF or source file, but do not treat artwork approval as proof that the physical label has been sewn correctly. The finished sample and final inspection still need to confirm placement, attachment and legibility.

### 4. Care, safety and performance records

File the care instruction approved for the finished hijab, not a generic instruction copied from a similar fabric. The test basis should match the fibre, dye or print, hem and intended care route. If a performance claim is used, keep the relevant report and identify the tested material or finished article.

The right records vary by SKU. Examples include fibre composition, colourfastness to rubbing or washing, dimensional change, pilling, restricted-substance testing or a performance method linked to a specific claim. A social audit, a product-safety test and a sustainability certificate prove different things. Keep them as separate records with clear descriptions.

If the product carries an environmental statement, add the evidence and the exact approved wording. “Certified material” and “certified product” are not interchangeable claims. The file should show which document supports the wording placed on the product page, hang tag or packaging.

### 5. Packaging and artwork control

Packaging is part of the retail product file because customers read it and because packaging information can create its own compliance and environmental questions. Keep the approved woven label, care label, hang tag, sleeve, polybag, carton or gift-box artwork that applies to the SKU.

Check the following before release:

SKU and colour reference match the product;
fibre and care information match the label file;
country-of-origin and responsible-party information are in the correct version;
barcode, QR code or retailer fields are placed as required;
packaging material and any sustainability wording have supporting evidence;
the physical packaging sample matches the approved artwork.

Do not approve packaging from a screen proof alone when the product depends on label softness, fold position, print colour or box fit. A full-size packing sample catches problems that a PDF cannot show.

### 6. QC and release evidence

The release section should contain the inspection result, sample or lot reference, defect disposition and buyer approval. Use the same vocabulary as the purchase order: critical, major and minor defects where those categories have been agreed, plus the applicable sampling plan or inspection method.

For a hijab, record the checks that matter to the finished product: dimensions, shade, hand, stretch or recovery where relevant, print placement, hem quality, label attachment, packaging count and carton markings. If an issue is accepted by deviation, keep the written approval. A verbal decision is difficult to audit after the goods ship.

The release signature does not need to be elaborate. It should identify the SKU, batch or inspection lot, decision, date and approver. “Approved” is useful only when the file shows what was approved.

### 7. Batch and shipment traceability

Connect the released product to the shipment. Keep the production batch, dye lot or fabric roll reference, inspection lot, carton or packing-list reference and shipment date. If certificates or test reports apply to a specific transaction, link their numbers to the same order record.

This is especially important for repeat orders. A later run may use a new yarn source, dye recipe, print ground, trim or packaging component. The old retail file can remain as history, but the new shipment needs a current comparison and a new release decision.

Common Launch Failures

Failure	Why it delays retail launch	Preventive control
Product page uses a different fibre percentage	Marketing, label and product data conflict	Lock one approved composition record
Care label comes from an older fabric	The instruction may not match the finished item	Approve care after the final sample and test basis
Packaging artwork is approved before size is fixed	Barcodes, dimensions and carton counts change	Freeze SKU and packaging together
Test report has no sample or batch reference	Evidence cannot be tied to the delivered goods	Record specimen, date and lot reference
Shipment is released by message only	No durable approval trail exists	File the decision and any deviation approval

Factory Perspective: Build the File During Sampling

From the factory side, the cheapest time to build a retail launch file is during sampling. The mill can reserve the specification, label the retained sample, prepare the relevant test plan and flag missing artwork before bulk fabric is cut. Waiting until packing turns a small data mismatch into a label reprint, a carton change or a delayed shipment.

A practical sequence is: define the market and SKU, approve the material and finished sample, freeze the label and packaging versions, run the agreed checks, link the batch records, then issue the release decision. This sequence also makes repeat orders easier because the next buyer review starts from a known reference rather than a memory of the previous order.

What Buyers Should Confirm Before Retail Release

Exact SKU, colour, size, fibre composition and construction.
Approved full-size sample, revision number, approval date and retained reference.
Destination-market fibre, origin, identity and care-label review.
Relevant test reports with tested article, date and batch or sample reference.
Certificate scope or transaction evidence where a product claim requires it.
Final product-page, label, hang-tag and packaging wording.
Physical packaging sample matched to the artwork version.
Inspection lot, sampling basis, defect result and any approved deviation.
Batch, dye-lot, carton and shipment references.
Named release approver and date before the goods are marked ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a compliance file the same as a certificate folder? No. A certificate folder is only one part of the file. The retail launch file also connects product identity, labels, care, packaging, testing, QC and shipment evidence.

Do I need a separate file for every colour? Not always. If colours share the same construction and evidence, one master file with controlled colour records may work. Separate or additional records are needed when dye, print, testing, artwork or packaging changes the release risk.

Can a product-page description replace the technical specification? No. Marketing copy can be included as an approved output, but the file still needs the underlying fibre, dimension, construction and evidence records.

Who owns the final release decision? The brand or importer normally decides whether the product is ready for its market, while the factory supplies production, test, packaging and traceability records. Define the division of responsibility in writing.

What should happen when a repeat order changes one component? Open a revision review. Compare the change with the approved sample, label, care instruction, testing and claim evidence, then record whether a new approval or test is required.
