Sample Pack

FABRICS PER METER — SAMPLE PACK

Feel the cotton before you commit a metre order.

The Sample Pack is the entry point to Fabrixa’s Fabrics per Meter range — physical swatches of every cotton base we stock, plus an optional printed test panel running your artwork on the base of your choice. Designed for design studios, fashion houses, bedding manufacturers, and home-textile cut-and-sew teams who want to assess hand, weave, and reactive-print fidelity before committing to a production roll.

WHAT’S IN THE PACK

Seven cotton bases. One small box.

Every Sample Pack ships with one swatch of each of our seven cotton bases — three Fashion Weight, two Home Weight, two Heavy Weight. Each swatch is 20 cm × 20 cm, blank (unprinted) so you can assess the hand, the weave, the drape, and the conditioning. Add a printed panel option to the same artwork file for one or more bases — that’s how you check colour fidelity and print-on-substrate before committing to metres.

01
BLANK SWATCHES

All seven bases

Unprinted 20×20 cm swatch of each base — Gauze, Jersey 220, Rib 2X1, Percale 200TC, Sateen 300TC, French Terry, Half Panama. Feel the weight, the drape, the texture before you spec metres.

02
PRINTED PANELS (OPTIONAL)

Your artwork

Add a printed test panel running your artwork file on one or more bases. Reactive AOP, full colour fidelity, on the actual fabric you’d be ordering. The most reliable way to check colour-on-cotton before scaling to a roll.

03
SPEC SHEET

Per-base details

A printed spec sheet listing every base’s composition, GSM / TC, width, suggested applications, and pricing tier. Match the swatch to the spec at a glance.

04
PRINTED CARE GUIDE

Per-base care

Care instructions for each base — wash temperature, drying, ironing, whether the fabric is Pantone-matchable on production runs. Useful for downstream care-label work on your finished SKUs.

INCLUDED BASES

Every base in the FPM range, one swatch each.

WHY ORDER A SAMPLE PACK

Cut-and-sew teams that skip the swatch stage make expensive mistakes.

Reactive print on cotton looks different on every base. The same artwork file gives you matte clarity on Percale, slightly more saturated colour on Sateen, a textured weave-through-print effect on Half Panama, full-bleed soft-hand on Jersey 220, looped softness behind crisp face print on French Terry. These differences only show up on physical fabric — not on the spec sheet, not on a screen.

Order a Sample Pack first. Confirm the base. Confirm the print fidelity on your artwork. Then come back with metre numbers locked. The first-order credit means the swatches effectively cost zero if you proceed.

ORDERING FLOW

Sample first, decide, scale to metres.

The whole flow from first contact to a confirmed production roll usually takes 1–2 weeks — mostly waiting for the customer to physically evaluate the swatches and submit final artwork. Production lead time on the metres themselves is typically 5–10 days from artwork lock.

1

Order Sample Pack

Tell us your interest area (Fashion / Home / Heavy) and we ship a tailored Sample Pack. Add an optional printed panel using your artwork file.

2

Evaluate the swatches

Hand-and-eye check across the bases. Run a wash test on the printed panel if needed. Confirm which base fits your finished-product spec.

3

Lock metres + artwork

Come back with the chosen base, metre count, and final-resolution artwork file. We quote within 24h for the production order.

4

Production & ship

Reactive print, fixation, finishing, cut to length, dispatched on cardboard rolls. Tracking via webhook. Sample Pack cost credited against the first metre order.

PACK CONTENTS

What you get in the box.

  • 7 blank swatches at 20×20 cm (one per base)
  • Optional printed panel(s) running your artwork on chosen base(s)
  • Spec sheet with composition, GSM / TC, width, applications, pricing tier
  • Care guide per base (wash, dry, iron) for downstream care-label work
  • OEKO-TEX certification reference and audit-ready supply chain summary
  • Direct contact for the account manager assigned to your follow-up quote

Pack size: A5 envelope or small box, depending on whether printed panels are included. Ships flat — no rolls, no tubes, fits through standard letterboxes for blank-only packs.

PRODUCTION & DELIVERY

Sample Packs ship faster than production rolls.

Blank-only Sample Packs assemble from existing inventory and ship within 1–2 business days. Sample Packs with printed panels go through a small reactive-print run first — that adds 2–4 days to the lead time. All Sample Packs ship from our Spanish hub for European customers, and forward via standard tracked courier outside the EU.

WHO ORDERS THIS

The Sample Pack is the entry path for every B2B fabric buyer.

DESIGN STUDIOS

Pre-production sourcing

BEDDING MANUFACTURERS

Percale vs Sateen decision

Bedding production teams evaluating the Percale 200TC / Sateen 300TC trade-off. The Sample Pack with printed panel on both bases gives you a side-by-side comparison on actual cotton.

HOME-TEXTILE DECOR

Half Panama spec confirmation

Decor manufacturers building cushion / curtain / table-linen lines. Confirm Half Panama’s weave-through-print effect on your artwork before locking a 30-metre batch.

Multi-supplier evaluation

Retailer procurement comparing Fabrixa cotton against alternative suppliers. The Sample Pack ships with full OEKO-TEX certification refs and audit-ready supply chain docs for vendor evaluation.

SAMPLE PACK PRICING

Low-cost entry. Credited against the first metre order.

The Sample Pack is priced low to remove the friction from the evaluation step. The cost is fully credited against your first metre order — if you proceed to production after sampling, the swatches effectively shipped to you for free.
