Textiles & Apparel

Garments, fabrics and home textiles

Textiles and apparel is a fast-moving category where fabric, sizing and consistency decide success. Importers source garments, fabrics and home textiles from factories that can meet quality and compliance standards. Pandatrade helps you evaluate material composition, construction quality and the certification needed for your market.

Main Types & Common Specifications

Apparel

T-shirts, casual wear, uniforms and activewear. Fabric weight, construction and size grading determine fit and durability.

Fabrics

Cotton, polyester, blended and technical textiles. GSM (grams per square meter), weave and composition are the core specs.

Home Textiles

Bedding, towels, curtains and cushions. Thread count, absorbency and color fastness are key quality checks.

Key Purchasing Considerations

  • Request a fabric swatch and confirm GSM and composition before production.
  • Clarify size charts and grading rules to avoid fit-related returns.
  • Ask for lab tests on color fastness, shrinkage and restricted substances.
  • Confirm lead time against your season - apparel is highly deadline-sensitive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does GSM mean for fabrics?
GSM stands for grams per square meter and indicates fabric weight. Higher GSM generally means a heavier, more durable fabric, while lower GSM is lighter and cooler.
How do I avoid color and size inconsistency?
Set clear tolerance limits, approve a golden sample, and require batch lab dips for color and size-set samples before bulk production.
What compliance applies to apparel?
Common requirements include restricted-substance testing (e.g. OEKO-TEX, REACH) and flammability rules for children's wear. Confirm based on your destination market.
