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.
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.
7 BASES · BLANK + PRINTED · FAST SHIP · APPLIES TO YOUR FIRST ORDER
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Tell us your interest area (Fashion / Home / Heavy) and we ship a tailored Sample Pack. Add an optional printed panel using your artwork file.
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.
Come back with the chosen base, metre count, and final-resolution artwork file. We quote within 24h for the production order.

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.
Blank-only Sample Packs assemble from existing inventory and ship within 1–2 business days.
