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.

Pre-Shipment Hijab QC: A Buyer's Release Checklist

A pre-shipment hijab inspection should answer one question: does this lot match the approved product record closely enough to release? That record must cover more than length and width. For a finished hijab, inspect the fabric appearance, shade, GSM or hand, pilling risk, colour fastness evidence, hem and seam workmanship, label placement, packaging and carton identification. Use a written sampling plan if the order is too large for 100% inspection, and separate critical, major and minor defects before anyone counts them. A release decision is only defensible when the sample, method, lot identity and result are recorded.

Why a Finished Hijab Needs Its Own QC Gate

A fabric roll can pass incoming inspection and still produce a weak finished product. Cutting adds grain and panel decisions; hemming changes the final dimensions and edge behaviour; labels can irritate the neck; packing can crease or shade-match pieces from different dye lots. The finished-piece inspection therefore sits after the processes that the fabric report cannot prove.

It also prevents a common argument: the buyer points to the approved sample, while the factory points to the fabric test. Both may be correct, because they are evidence for different stages. The release checklist connects them to the exact SKU, colourway and production lot.

Define the Lot Before You Choose a Sample

Do not start with a sample quantity copied from another order. First define what the lot is. A lot may be one colourway cut and packed under one production reference, or several colours produced in the same run if the parties agree that definition. The inspection record should state the quantity, SKU, shade, fabric base, production date or batch reference, carton range and sampling method.

AQL is an acceptance-sampling framework, not a universal quality promise. ISO 2859-1 and ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 are commonly discussed frameworks for sampling by attributes, but the buyer and supplier still need to agree the standard, inspection level, defect classes and acceptance numbers before production. If that agreement is absent, “passed AQL” is too vague to settle a claim.

Decision	What the buyer must define	Why it matters
Lot identity	SKU, shade, fabric, quantity and batch reference	Prevents results being applied to another lot
Sampling plan	100% check or agreed random sample	Sets the inspection workload and evidence strength
Defect class	Critical, major and minor definitions	Makes pass/fail decisions repeatable
Measurement basis	Finished, flat, unwashed or after wash	Avoids comparing different states
Release rule	Accept, hold, rework or reject	Gives the factory a clear action after inspection

The Five Checks That Catch Most Finished-Piece Problems

### 1. Appearance and Shade

Compare the bulk against the approved physical standard under an agreed lighting condition. Check side-to-side shade variation, streaks, needle lines, oil marks, holes, stains, barre, print displacement and visible handling damage. A screen image is not a shade standard. For a reorder, retain a physical standard and record the dye lot or batch reference so the next production is compared against the same evidence.

### 2. Finished Dimensions and Shape

Use the approved measurement diagram, not a verbal size such as “long” or “standard.” State whether the measurement is taken flat without stretching, after relaxation, before washing or after a defined wash. Measure the dimensions that affect wear: overall length, width, front or back drape where relevant, neckline opening for an instant style, and hem or edge geometry.

The existing size specification should carry the tolerances. This article is about checking and recording them at release, not inventing one tolerance for every hijab construction. A 180 × 70 cm rectangular piece, an instant hijab with a shaped opening and a triangular scarf do not share the same measuring points.

### 3. Hem, Seam and Workmanship

Inspect the full perimeter for skipped stitches, loose threads, uneven stitch density, missed sections, wavy edges, puckering, raw edges and seam openings. Check the hem at corners and transitions, where a machine setting can look acceptable along a straight edge but fail when the direction changes. On stretch jersey, inspect recovery after gentle handling rather than pulling the edge aggressively during measurement.

Check label stitching separately. The label should match the approved artwork, sit in the agreed position, remain legible and not create a hard edge against the face or neck. If the product is printed, confirm that the motif does not disappear into the fold or hem allowance.

### 4. Fabric Performance Evidence

Some checks belong in a laboratory or controlled test rather than a visual release inspection. Colour fastness to rubbing is addressed by ISO 105-X12:2016, which covers resistance to rubbing off and staining other materials. Pilling can be evaluated using an agreed method such as ISO 12945 or ASTM D3512; the result depends on the chosen method and rating basis.

Do not treat a report on greige fabric as proof for a dyed, printed and finished hijab. Match the report to the fibre composition, finish, colourway and production stage. For a claim involving washing, perspiration, rubbing or pilling, record the method, specimen description, laboratory or internal facility, date and result. If the test is pending, release the lot only under a written hold or conditional-release rule.

### 5. Packaging and Carton Traceability

Inspect the folded piece, polybag or sleeve, label, barcode if used, carton mark and quantity per carton against the approved packing instruction. Mixed shades in one carton are not always a defect, but they must be intentional and documented. Carton labels should make it possible to trace a complaint back to the SKU, colourway and production batch.

Factory Perspective: How We Separate Rework From a Claim

At a mill, the most useful inspection report is not the one with the longest defect list. It is the one that tells the sewing and packing teams what to do next. We separate an isolated loose thread that can be trimmed from a repeated hem problem that needs machine adjustment. We separate a shade concern that requires comparison against the retained standard from a genuine batch mismatch. We also keep the approved full-size sample beside the inspection record, because a photo alone rarely captures stretch, hand or edge behaviour.

The same discipline applies to testing. A colourfastness report can support a production decision, but it cannot replace a visual check for a stain or a label check for the wrong fibre wording. Each gate answers a different question, and combining them into one vague “quality passed” statement removes useful evidence.

What Buyers Should Confirm Before Pre-Shipment Inspection

The lot definition: SKU, fabric base, colourway, quantity, batch and carton range.
The approved full-size sample and the physical shade standard used for comparison.
The measurement diagram, measuring condition and tolerances for that exact construction.
The defect classification, including examples of critical, major and minor defects.
The sampling method, inspection level and agreed acceptance numbers, if sampling is used.
The checks for appearance, shade variation, holes, stains, pilling, print or embroidery placement and edge damage.
The workmanship checks for hem, seam, loose threads, label attachment and comfort-sensitive placement.
The test reports that apply to the finished fabric and colourway, not merely a similar base fabric.
The packing instruction, carton marks, quantity per carton and batch traceability fields.
The action for a failed sample: rework, expanded inspection, hold, replacement or rejection.
The evidence package supplied at release: signed report, photographs, test files and carton list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AQL enough for a hijab inspection? No. AQL or another sampling framework helps select and judge a sample, but it does not define the product, defect classes or measurement basis. Those must be agreed in the specification.

Should every hijab be inspected? It depends on the risk, quantity, construction and agreement. 100% inspection gives broader coverage but still needs a consistent checklist. Sampling can be practical for a large lot when the plan and acceptance rule are written before inspection.

Can a fabric test report replace pre-shipment inspection? No. A fabric report may support colourfastness, pilling or other performance evidence, but it cannot prove finished dimensions, hem workmanship, label placement or carton accuracy.

What should happen when the sample fails? Put the lot on hold, record the failed characteristic and classify the defect. The agreed release rule should determine whether to rework, expand the inspection, replace pieces or reject the lot. Do not silently change the standard after seeing the result.

Can a buyer inspect from photographs only? Photographs are useful evidence for visible defects and packing, but they do not replace agreed measurement, shade comparison, hand or recovery checks. Use them as part of the record, not as the entire inspection method.
