Cable Knit Customization Program for Railway and Transit with Shirring
Cable Knit Customization Program for Railway and Transit
This programme covers the full path from a cable knit concept to repeatable bulk supply for railway and transit. The build starts from everyday-casual references — cable knit in linen blend — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most cable knit buyers arrive with one of these problems: delivery missed the season drop, or colour faded after a few washes. The fix is a written spec before bulk: shrinkage allowance, stitch density, colour tolerance and a golden sample kept at the factory.

How we produce it
- Tech pack review, fabric confirmation and lab dip approval

- Bulk cutting with shirring applied under controlled settings
- In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 check and packing
Quality control
Every bulk lot is compared against the approved sample for shade, hand feel, measurements and wash behaviour. Cable Knit reorders stay comparable over time because the spec, the lab dip and the golden sample are all on file.
FAQ
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
What file formats do you need for artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 100 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
Can you match a specific colour?
Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.
