Four Fabric Routes
Use What Is Ready—or Develop What Is Missing.
Custom Color
Pantone Dyeing
Keep the approved fabric structure and develop the required color.
Custom Specification
Develop the Fabric
Adjust composition, GSM, knit, stretch, hand feel or functional finish.
Verified Material Route
Sustainable Options
Recycled polyester, recycled nylon, GRS-certified materials and project-specific alternatives.
Custom fabric, Pantone dyeing and specialized materials follow supplier- and process-specific MOQ and lead-time confirmation.

Fabric & Printing FAQ
Seven Decisions Before Development.
Can we select from available performance fabrics?
Yes. Existing materials are matched against the required composition, GSM, stretch, hand feel, color and performance direction.
Can Gofitapparel develop a custom fabric?
Yes. Composition, GSM, knit, stretch, hand feel and functional finishing can be developed, subject to supplier feasibility, MOQ and approval.
Can you match a Pantone color?
Yes. The Pantone reference guides development, while the approved physical lab dip becomes the production color reference.
Do you provide All-Over Printing?
Yes. Artwork repeat, scale, placement, fabric compatibility, strike-off and garment behavior are reviewed before bulk. The production method is selected by the confirmed material and design.
Which logo applications are available?
Heat transfer, embroidery, silicone logo and reflective application are supported after fabric, placement and durability review.
Does custom fabric or color increase MOQ?
It can. Final MOQ depends on the fabric mill, dyeing, printing, trims and selected production process and is confirmed in the quotation.
Can we request third-party testing?
Yes. SGS, Intertek, BV, TÜV or another approved laboratory can be designated. Scope, fees, standard and pass criteria are confirmed before testing.
