By weight

Pick the weight your collection needs.

Custom fabric printing puts your design in the cloth itself: reactive inks bond into the cotton fibre before anything is cut or sewn, so the pattern is part of the fabric — not a coating on top. Fabrics grouped by GSM and end use: lightweight gauze for scarves and baby products, mid-weight jersey for everyday apparel, heavy weight for structure. Or order a sample pack to test print and handfeel before committing.

Who buys this

For brands that own their construction.

Fabric per metre is for makers, not resellers. You want printed cotton on the roll because you’re cutting and sewing it yourself, or running a small atelier that needs flexibility a finished-garment SKU can’t give.

  • Independent fashion designers building seasonal collections
  • Small ateliers and studios with their own production
  • Home-textile brands prototyping new product lines
  • Theatre, film and event production teams needing custom prints
  • Fashion schools needing student-friendly minimums

What’s included

Every order ships with these.

Sample-first option

Order a sample pack before you commit to metres. Test print clarity, handfeel and colour accuracy with your actual artwork before scaling up.

Roll-format dispatch

Fabric ships on cardboard cores in 30–50m batches — less creasing in transit, ready to feed straight into your cutting room.

Colour matching

Colour-managed printing. The first metre prints the same as the thousandth, and re-orders match the previous batch.

Buying guide

How to order printed fabric by the metre.

Fabric by the metre is uncut cloth bought by length instead of as a finished product: you choose the base, supply the artwork, and receive printed fabric on the roll to cut and sew yourself. All seven Fabrixa bases are available per metre, printed to order from a single metre, with no batch minimum and no setup fee.

Start with the base and the width

Fabrics per metre are ordered by base, not by garment. Gauze at 145 cm for scarves and baby products, jersey at 155 cm for everyday apparel, percale and sateen at bedding widths, half panama at 180 cm for cushions and curtains, French Terry at 195 cm — the widest roll in the range. Width decides how much you lose on the cutting table, so choose it before you choose the pattern.

The rate per metre steps down as you scale

Per-metre pricing is tier-based and visible before you order: register, pick the fabric, enter your length, and the price per metre appears instantly with the volume tier already applied. One metre and five hundred metres run through the same catalogue — the rate changes, the process doesn’t.

It arrives as cloth, on rolls

Printed rolls dispatch in 5–7 business days from production in Portugal and Spain, wound on cardboard cores in 30–50 m batches so the fabric arrives without crease marks. Colour is Pantone-anchored, so a re-order of the same design matches the previous batch.

Good to know

Questions buyers always ask.

What is the minimum fabric order?

One metre. Fabric is cut to your spec from 1 m, and volume tiers apply automatically on larger runs.

Which fabric bases are available?

Seven premium bases across fashion weight, home weight and heavy weight — cotton and linen for reactive print, on rolls of 130–195 cm width.

Why does the same design look different on different bases?

Reactive dye resolves differently per weave — percale prints matte and crisp, sateen more saturated, half panama textured. The Sample Pack covers every base so you can compare before ordering.

Do you print on viscose or silk?

No — cotton and linen (reactive) and polyester (sublimation) only. Where you see "silk-touch" it describes the feel of cotton sateen, not actual silk.

How fast does fabric dispatch?

Printed rolls dispatch in 5–7 business days, shipped on rolls to avoid crease marks.

How much does it cost to have fabric printed?

Pricing is per metre and instant: the price shows in the catalog and in the Tier Finder before you order, from one metre, with no setup fee and no screen or plate costs. Volume tiers step the price down automatically as your monthly metres grow. French Terry is the heaviest and priciest base.

Printed fabric currently starts at €7.95 per metre.

Can I print fabric myself, or should I have it printed?

For a one-off you can, with transfer foil or screen printing. For anything sold under a brand, industrial reactive printing is the better route: the dye bonds into the cotton fibre, so the fabric stays soft, prints edge to edge and survives 600+ washes. From one metre, that is what Fabrixa does.

How do I get my design onto fabric?

Upload your artwork as a repeat or a placed print, choose the base and the number of metres, and order. The file is printed reactively, steam-fixed, washed and dispatched on a roll in 5 to 7 business days. The artwork checklist covers resolution, colour profile and bleed.

Made in the EU

No EU import duty on your order.

Since 1 July 2026, parcels arriving from outside the EU carry a new €3-per-item customs duty — the old duty-free exemption on orders under €150 is gone. Fabrixa prints, makes and ships your order inside the EU, from Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands. Your parcels never cross an EU customs border, so that import duty simply doesn’t apply.
