Fit and wearing comfort
Where a motif is cut can change the perceived proportions of the garment. Review placement on the sample size so that key motifs do not disappear beneath the front closure or pocket as sizes change.

Private Label Printed Shirt Manufacturing
We develop the print scale, colour balance and motif placement alongside the garment pattern when bringing your artwork into a shirt collection. Production details are defined for both small motifs and all-over prints.

Erten production approach
Plan production around your brand, from fabric and fit to sampling and packaging.
Style and colour options
Choose your collection direction.
Print scale on the finished shirt matters as much as the artwork file. Small repeats create a restrained look, while large motifs make a stronger seasonal statement. For brand collections, resort ranges and print-led capsules, develop the artwork and garment pattern together.
Small-scale motif print
Small motifs can work for casual and business collections. Select repeat density, colour contrast and the appearance inside the collar together.
Paisley print
Curved motifs create a more distinctive print direction. Choose motif scale, ground colour and button contrast together.
Large tropical motif
Large leaves and flowers stand out in summer collections. Mark their placement across the shirt front, pockets and sleeves on the technical drawing.

Fabric and collection direction
Fibre content, fabric surface and the intended colour effect guide the choice of printing method. Print approval is based on a sample made on the selected fabric.

Style-specific manufacturing details
Motif direction, repeat size and matching at pockets or front closures are specified in the tech pack. Colour references and usable artwork files are needed before cutting is planned.
Printed Shirts
From sample to order
Start with a reference garment, size chart or design file. We review styles, colours and size quantities alongside labels, packaging and the destination country. Sample approval, material availability and a written quotation establish the production scope.
Product development guide
The right sample. Clear decisions.
What to check on the sample
Approve colour on a print sample made in the selected fabric, rather than from a screen. Record motif direction, print definition and any required pattern matching at seams in the approval file.
Care, finishing and packing
Assess print appearance after care, colour transfer and dimensional change alongside the selected printing process. If fabric and printing come from different suppliers, link their material codes and approval references.

before you decide
frequently asked
questions.
How can we start production with our own print?
Provide artwork you have the right to use, together with repeat dimensions and colour references. The production scope is confirmed after approval of the print sample, placement and fabric suitability.
Must a motif sit in the same position on every size?
This depends on the print and garment construction. An all-over repeat and a specifically positioned motif require different planning. Marking priority placements helps establish the right cutting method and cost.
How is the minimum order determined?
Flexible MOQ. Order quantities are assessed by style, fabric, colour and size distribution. Share your approximate quantity so we can review options that suit the materials and production plan.
How are branding and international delivery planned?
Brand and care labels, packaging, destination country and delivery requirements are defined for each order. Transport, delivery terms, costs and timing are confirmed in the written quotation.
