Start with the right support for your order
Whether you are printing curtains for a flat in Observatory, event flags for a client in Century City, or upholstery for a home in Durban, our support team helps you choose the right path from the start. We guide you on fabric choice, print method, finishing, and what to expect on lead times.
If you are not sure what size, repeat, or quantity you need, send your brief through our contact form and our team will help you work it out before production begins.
Artwork checks before we print
Strong results begin with a clean file. We check supplied artwork for scale, repeat setup, image clarity, bleed, and layout so the print matches the job as closely as possible. If something needs adjusting, we flag it early and explain the fix plainly.
- Repeat pattern setup for continuous designs
- File checking for print readiness
- Colour matching where a specific tone matters
- Strike-off sampling when you want to confirm the look first
Sampling, colour matching, and fabric sourcing
For fashion ranges, interior pieces, or branded work, a strike-off can save time and cost later. It lets you see how the artwork lands on the chosen fabric before a full run is approved. If you need a particular base cloth, we can also assist with fabric sourcing so the final product suits the use and feel you want.
In Cape Town's coastal humidity, some materials behave differently during handling and finishing, so sampling is useful when the job has fine detail or a very specific colour target.
Finishing for curtains, upholstery, and garments
Printing is only one part of the job. Many orders need hemming, edge finishing, or careful folding so they are ready to use on delivery. We help with practical finishes for homes, shops, hospitality spaces, and clothing projects that need clean handling.
- Curtain lengths with neat hems
- Upholstery fabric prepared for cut and sew work
- Flags packed for easy installation
- Fabric by the metre cut to order
Bulk runs and small batches handled with care
Some clients need a few metres for a sample range, others need a large order for retail or a campaign. We manage both. Small batch printing suits test runs and custom gifts, while bulk print runs are better for repeat stock, uniforms, and larger installations.
During load-shedding periods, we plan production around scheduled work so your job keeps moving. If timing is tight, speak to us early and we will tell you what is possible.
Packing, courier, and delivery updates
For courier fabric nationwide, we pack orders securely for transport from Ndabeni and share delivery details so you know when to expect your parcel. Clients in Woodstock, Salt River, Montague Gardens, and nearby areas often collect or arrange local delivery, while out-of-town orders go by courier.
- Packed to reduce creasing and transit damage
- Courier arranged to your South African address
