Fabric Tolerance Guide

Textiles are inherently flexible, however, and there is usually room in the weave for movement, that might affect the dimensional accuracy of the final product.

In addition to there being inherent flexibility in the weave, natural fibre fabrics such as Cotton, Linen and Bamboo will readily absorb moisture, or will evaporate moisture from within them. This can lead to shrinking or swelling of the fibres that can lead to changes in the dimensions of the final print.

Handling of natural fibre fabrics can also affect the dimensionality, as fibres move around, change shape and in some cases break down, which can cause shrinkage or elongation of the prints.

As a guideline, it is wise to include a tolerance for a change of dimensions of +/- 3% on the length, and +/- 2% on the width, although this will vary from fabric to fabric, and with environmental conditions.

 

Incorrect, faulty or damaged goods

Should any item be incorrectly supplied, faulty or damaged, please contact us within 30 days of receipt. We will be happy to arrange a replacement or refund. Note that you may be required to return the goods, the cost of which will be refunded to you.

Unwanted goods

Since custom-printed fabric is produced specifically for you, we will be unable to restock and resell the item. For this reason, we will be  unable to accept returns of unwanted custom-printed fabric. All other items are stock items and can be returned within 30 days of receipt. Note that items must be unused and in a saleable condition. Please contact us before returning stock items so that we can issue an authorisation number. Returns received without an authorisation number will not be processed, and the cost of returning unwanted items will be at your own expense.

Refunds

Refunds will be made using the payment method used to place the original order. We aim to process all refunds within two (2) working days, but you should allow up to five (5) working days for the funds to clear.
