Fabrics per Metre — Sample Pack

Fabric swatches of every base — feel before you commit.

The Sample Pack is the entry point to Fabrixa’s Fabrics per Metre range — physical swatches of every cotton base we stock, so you can feel the hand, the weave and the weight of each before you choose one. Built for design studios, fashion houses, bedding manufacturers and home-textile cut-and-sew teams who want to assess the cloth before committing to a production roll. To see your own design on cotton, order a small first run by the metre — from 1 m.

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 × 20 cm, so you can assess the hand, the weave, the drape, the weight and the conditioning of every base before you pick one for your product. We don’t print customer artwork onto sample swatches — to see your own design reactive-printed on cotton, place a small first order by the metre (from 1 m), priced instantly by your tier.

Why order a sample pack

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

Reactive print sits differently on every base — 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, and looped softness behind a crisp face on French Terry. The hand and weight differences only show up on physical fabric — not on the spec sheet, not on a screen.
