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.

US vs EU Hijab Labels: A Private Label Buyer Guide

US and EU hijab labels should not be treated as one universal artwork file. Start by classifying the product as a scarf, a finished wearing-apparel item or another head covering, then build the label from the destination market’s rules and the exact fibre composition. For EU consumer sales, the label generally needs all textile fibres in decreasing percentage order, in the official language or languages where sold. In the US, the FTC rules cover scarves and require fibre content, country of origin and responsible business identity for covered textile products; the Care Labeling Rule adds care instructions with a reasonable basis. The factory should receive market, SKU, composition, care evidence and label placement before bulk artwork is approved.

The First Decision: What Product Are You Labelling?

A hijab can be described commercially as a scarf, wrap, shawl, head covering or apparel accessory. The sales description does not by itself settle the legal classification in every market.

The FTC’s textile guidance lists scarves among covered textile products, while its care-label guidance lists hats as exempt apparel. That distinction matters for brands selling several formats under one collection. A rectangular scarf may not be treated like a structured cap or product designed exclusively as headwear. If a style combines a scarf panel, sewn-in cap and trim, confirm the finished unit with the importer or adviser.

For the EU, the textile-label rule applies broadly to products made of at least 80% textile fibres and requires fibre composition information when the product is marketed to the end consumer. Commercial documents may replace or supplement the label in some B2B transactions, but not for finished consumer stock moving directly to retail.

Put the product format and sales route on the tech pack. “Hijab” is not enough information for a label supplier.

US vs EU: What the Core Label Must Say

Label field	United States: covered textile product	European Union: consumer textile product
Fibre composition	Generic fibre names and percentages by weight, generally in descending order	Composition of all textile fibres, in decreasing percentage order, using permitted fibre names
Country of origin	Required for covered products; origin follows applicable Customs rules	Not the core harmonised field in the EU textile-label rule; check destination-market and retailer requirements separately
Responsible business	Manufacturer, importer or another responsible business identity; an RN may be used where applicable	The textile-label rule focuses on fibre composition; identify the responsible economic operator and market information through the broader product and sales compliance file
Language	English is the normal US label language; other languages may be added for the market	Official language or languages of each EU country where the product is made available to consumers
Care information	Care instructions are required for covered wearing apparel and must have a reasonable basis	The EU textile-composition rule is not the complete care-label rule; verify national, retailer and channel requirements
Attachment	Fibre and origin information must be on the product label as required; care information must be permanent and legible for covered apparel	Fibre label or marking must be firmly attached, for example sewn in, unless a permitted B2B document route applies

This is a planning comparison, not a market-specific legal review. The same label can be complete for one destination and incomplete for another.

Fibre Composition: Copy the Production Record, Not the Catalogue Name

The most common private-label error is printing a commercial fabric name instead of the finished composition. “Modal jersey,” “bamboo jersey” and “premium stretch” are useful product descriptions, not percentage declarations.

The label should follow the fibre composition of the finished product. If the body is a blend, list the generic fibre names and their percentages. Elastane must not disappear because it is present in a small amount or because the catalogue calls the base “modal.” If a trim, lining, decorative panel or animal-origin non-textile component changes the applicable disclosure, record it in the same SKU file rather than assuming the base-fabric label covers it.

For EU sales, use the permitted fibre names from Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. The Your Europe guidance states that “100%,” “pure” or “all” should be used only when the product is made exclusively from one fibre type. That makes a phrase such as “100% modal” a production claim as well as a design choice: the composition report, purchase order and sewn label must agree.

For US sales, FTC guidance requires generic fibre names and percentages by weight for covered products. A branded fibre name cannot replace the required generic content.

Care Labels: The Evidence Has to Match the Finished Hijab

Care wording should be decided after the finished product is tested, not copied from a previous order. A modal jersey hijab with a printed design, elastane and a sewn label may need different care wording from an unprinted woven scarf, even when the fibre family looks similar.

The FTC Care Labeling Rule requires covered manufacturers and importers to provide complete regular-care instructions or warnings, and to have a reasonable basis for the instructions. The FTC specifically notes that evidence may need to address the garment as a whole, including components that can affect washing, colour transfer or drying. A component-only test is not automatically enough for a finished product claim.

The US rule permits ASTM care symbols identified by the FTC. The guide says European ISO symbols are similar but not identical, so do not copy one symbol file between markets without review.

For a hijab programme, the care approval file should state:

hand wash or machine wash;
water temperature where heat can cause damage;
bleach permission or prohibition;
drying method and temperature where relevant;
ironing or pressing warning;
dry-cleaning instruction if offered;
special treatment for print, trim, label or embellishment;
the test or technical basis supporting the final wording.

A short label is useful only when complete. “Cold wash” alone may not tell the customer how to dry, bleach or handle a heat-sensitive finish.

Languages and Artwork: Build One Master File, Then Make Market Versions

The EU requires fibre-composition information in the official language or languages of each country where the product is sold. Treat language versions as a production field, not a last-minute translation.

Keep these as separate artwork fields:

legal composition;
care information;
origin wording;
responsible business information;
brand name and style code;
batch reference if used;
marketing copy.

This prevents a marketing edit from changing a legal field and lets the factory produce market versions from one approved product record.

Do not place an environmental, functional or fibre-origin claim on a hang tag unless the evidence is attached to the same SKU. “Natural,” “sustainable,” “cooling” and “antimicrobial” are not replacements for composition or care information. They are additional claims that need their own support.

Factory Perspective: Three Label Problems We See Before Bulk

The composition is approved from the fabric name. A buyer selects “modal jersey” from a product page, while the final order includes elastane or a different finishing route. The proof is approved before production composition is frozen. We link it to the exact fabric specification and sample record.

The care label is copied from a previous colourway. Washing, rubbing and colour transfer can differ across prints and shades. The instruction should follow the finished product and test basis.

The label is comfortable on paper but not on the head. A stiff woven label or thick folded edge near the neck can create complaints even when legally complete. Approve the label type, fold and position on a full-size finished sample.

We supply production information and physical samples against the SKU. The brand or importer remains responsible for claims and destination-market release; the approval record should show who signed each field.

What Buyers Should Confirm Before Ordering

The exact product format: rectangular scarf, square scarf, sewn instant hijab, cap or combined set.

The target markets and sales routes: direct consumer, wholesaler, retailer, marketplace or B2B-only shipment.

The finished fibre composition by generic fibre name and percentage, including elastane and relevant trims.

The permitted EU fibre names and every official language needed for the destination countries.

The US fibre, origin and responsible-business fields for the covered item.

Whether an RN or other importer or dealer identity is needed.

Care wording or symbols, their standard and supporting evidence.

Label attachment, permanence, legibility and comfort against the neck or face.

Country-of-origin wording approved for the route and importer record.

Version control: SKU code, artwork revision, approved sample and change approver.

Consistency across sewn label, hang tag, polybag, carton, product page and DPP or compliance file where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every hijab need the same US label? No. A rectangular scarf and a product designed exclusively as headwear may fall under different rule treatments. The FTC lists scarves as covered textile products but identifies hats as exempt in the care-label guidance. Confirm the finished format and route before standardising one label across a collection.

Can I use “modal jersey” as the fibre content? Not by itself. It is a commercial fabric description. The label should use the applicable generic fibre names and percentages from the finished product record, including any elastane or relevant component disclosure.

Does the EU require the care label to use the same symbols as the US? Do not assume that. The FTC identifies ASTM care symbols for the US and notes that European ISO symbols are similar but not identical. Prepare the care content for the destination market and check retailer requirements.

Can the fibre composition be printed only on the hang tag? For EU consumer sales, the fibre label or marking generally needs to be firmly attached to the product; B2B document routes may apply in specific transactions. In the US, a hang tag does not automatically replace the required product label. Confirm the route before removing sewn information.

Do EU labels need every European language? They need the required composition information in the official language or languages of each EU country where the product is made available to consumers. Make the language list part of the market plan instead of guessing from the warehouse location.
