Greige Knit Producer · Contract Dyeing & Printing

From yarn to finished fabric, We add value at every step.

We knit greige fabric on our own machines and manage dyeing, printing and finishing through a vetted contract network. We add value at every stage of the yarn-to-fabric journey, managing the whole process as your single point of contact; every incoming lot colour-verified to a ΔE<1 target.

About

Experience and know-how, since 2015.

In 2015 we stepped into the textile sector as KARCEM Tekstil, backed by experience and know-how. With a daily fabric capacity of 15 tonnes, our professional team supplies dyed-printed and greige fabric to both domestic and international markets.

We knit in our own facility and coordinate dyeing, printing and finishing through a vetted contract network, passing every returning lot through our own quality control — adding value at every stage of the fabric's journey while keeping end-to-end oversight and batch-to-batch colour consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What buyers ask most

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ depends on fabric type, number of colours and order complexity. Rather than a fixed list, we share the exact figure for your project at the sample/quote stage.

How does the sampling and colour-approval process work?

First the target weight, fibre and finish are defined; then colour is confirmed via lab-dip and hand/drape via a sewn sample. Colour approval is carried into production at a ΔE<1 tolerance.

How do you ensure colour consistency?

Even though dyeing is done on contract, we approve the colour: with a 20,000+ colour reference archive and a spectrophotometer, every incoming lot is verified in CIE L*a*b*; the difference from the recipe is kept below the ΔE 1.0 threshold the eye cannot distinguish, and anything outside is rejected.

Which certifications do you hold?

We work with GOTS, OCS, GRS, RCS and BCI and target OEKO-TEX safety in the finished product. Because a certified claim starts with certified yarn, we plan this decision together from the outset.

Which product groups do you produce fabric for?

T-shirts, sweatshirts/hoodies, polos, activewear, underwear/baby and home textiles — in single jersey, interlock, rib, piqué, two/three-thread fleece and jacquard constructions.

What are your export and delivery terms?

We export to Europe, the Middle East, North America and Russia; delivery is structured per Incoterms. Because we knit and coordinate dyeing, printing and finishing through our vetted contract network, you have a single point of contact from sample to shipment.
