Garment Dyeing
Garment Dyeing
Sometimes the colour you need doesn't exist off the shelf. Garment dyeing lets brands create genuinely bespoke colourways - matched to a specific brand palette, seasonal drop, or one-off collaboration - rather than being limited to stock blank colours.
Why Garment Dyeing
True bespoke colour
Raised stitching reads as higher-quality than any print
Brand consistency across seasons
Dye to the same reference every time, batch after batch
Ideal for premium and limited drops
A differentiator for streetwear and fashion labels wanting a genuinely unique product
Batch consistency at scale
colour matched and quality-checked across the full production run, not just a single sample
What We Dye
Blank garments in natural or undyed states - t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts - dyed to a specified shade ahead of decoration (print or embroidery), or as a finished, undecorated product.
Our Process
1. Colour reference agreed
Via Pantone reference, physical swatch, or fabric sample
2. Test dye/lab dip
A small sample batch is dyed first so you can approve the exact shade
3. Batch dyeing
Full order dyed to the approved reference
4. Quality check
Checked for colour consistency and any shade variance across the batch
5. Decoration or fulfilment
Moved into print/embroidery if required, or packed for dispatch

Guide
To get an accurate colour match: an accurate colour match:
Colour Reference:
Pantone (PMS) TCX or TPX textile reference is most accurate; a physical fabric swatch is even better
Fabric composition:
Confirm garment fabric (100% cotton, cotton/poly blend, etc.) — this affects how the dye takes and the achievable shade
Quantities and sizes:
Provide a full size breakdown, as dye batches are run together for consistency
Lab dip approval:
Always sign off the test dye before full production — this is the step that avoids costly reprints of an entire batch
End use:
Tell us if the garment will be printed or embroidered afterwards, as this can affect dye and fabric choice
Not sure which reference system to use? Send us your closest example - a brand asset, existing garment, or reference image - and we'll help translate it into an accurate dye spec.
FAQs
Can you match any colour exactly?
We work to get as close as possible using industry-standard references and a lab dip stage, though exact results can vary slightly by fabric type - this is why we always test before full production.
Does dyeing affect fabric feel or shrinkage?
Some shrinkage and handfeel change is normal with any dye process - we'll advise on this at the lab dip stage so there are no surprises at scale.
Can dyed garments then be printed or embroidered?
Yes - garment dyeing is often step one, with decoration applied afterwards as part of the same production run.
