Can I customize activewear colours, prints and patterns?
Yes. Activewear colours, prints and patterns can be customized through stock fabric shades, custom dyeing, all-over printing or placed graphics. The right route depends on fiber composition, base color, stretch and order size. bloomto offers color and print customization; confirm the exact fabric, process and physical color sample before approving production.
Match the process to the fabric
| Route | What to approve |
|---|---|
| Stock colors | Choose from available fabric shades and confirm stock by fabric code and dye lot. A similar screen color is not a production color standard. |
| Custom dyeing | Approve a lab dip: a small dyed sample on the intended material. Agree the physical color reference, viewing light and color tolerance before bulk dyeing. |
| Dye sublimation | A common route for all-over graphics on suitable white or light polyester-rich fabrics. Check the printed sample under stretch and confirm the blend tolerates processing. |
| Other printing or placed graphics | For nylon-rich fabrics, darker bases or localized logos, ask which ink or transfer system is compatible. “Digital printing” alone does not identify the process. |
Epson’s textile-printing guide recommends white or light polyester and polyester-rich blends for sublimation, and checking printed yoga pants while stretched. X-Rite’s color workflow combines defined color specifications with sample measurement and visual approval.
Example: planning a three-color capsule
Illustrative order calculation: one legging style in three solid colors at 100 pieces per style per color equals 300 leggings. Adding a separately ordered bra style in the same three colors gives 600 garments, or 300 two-piece sets if quantities match. bloomto’s published standard MOQ is 100 pieces per style per color; custom fabric, dyeing and printing minimums still need project confirmation.
What to record before approval
- Provide the physical color reference, fiber blend and fabric code.
- Supply vector logos or print artwork at the requested final scale, including repeat size and placement.
- Approve a print strike-off on the actual substrate, then check seam matching, distortion and color under stretch.
- Agree wash, rubbing and perspiration colorfastness methods and acceptance criteria for the intended use.
