Commercial dyeing

Professional dyeing for quality results

  • Using our Gretag Spectrophotometer, we can match any existing colour, then reproduce it exactly batch after batch.
  • If you don’t know the colour you want, you can choose from an extensive list of colour recipes in our database.
  • We recently invested more than $200,000 in new dyeing equipment to ensure consistent, quality results.
  • The entire dying process is automatic, including adding the dyestuff, adding the water and steam, and the final extraction or spin processes.
  • We dry the fabrics and garments at the optimum drying temperatures dictated by the fabric itself.
  • The dyes we use comply with the Ocko-Tex standard 100 for materials that come in direct contact with the skin.
  • We also fulfil the environmental criteria specified by the European Ecolabel for Textiles.

We work with some of New Zealand's foremost fashion designers, developing their special colour requirements on a variety of fabrics.

Benefits of garment dyeing

  • Unlike the knitting mills, there are no minimums with our garment dyeing service.
  • You can manufacture or buy all your stock in white or greige and dye as you sell.
  • Small, regular runs are good for cashflow – plus you’re less likely to get stuck with excess stock in an unpopular colour.
  • We can help you to develop your colour range and select styles suited to garment dyeing.
  • You can create custom colours or match popular colours from years gone by.

Benefits of fabric dyeing

  • Dyeing fabric before manufacture can eliminate the risk of shrinkage and colour-loss after sale.
  • Our service is faster than other dyeing services, so you can respond quickly to market opportunities.
  • You can create your own colours, treat the fabrics with enzymes and remove all additives to achieve the look and feel you require.
  • Once dyed, your fabric is ready for cutting.
  • Fabric faults usually become obvious in the dyeing process, so you can avoid the losses associated with discovering fabric faults after manufacture.
  • Special effects, such as tie dyeing, are achievable.
