Ribbed Tank Customization Program for Police and Fire Departments with Pantone Color Matching
Ribbed Tank Customization Program for Police and Fire Departments
This programme covers the full path from a ribbed tank concept to repeatable bulk supply for police and fire departments. The build starts from everyday-casual references — ribbed tank in modal blend — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most ribbed tank buyers arrive with one of these problems: colour faded after a few washes, 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
- Pattern, grading and a Modal Blend-spec prototype
- Fit sample and wearer test, then pre-production sign-off
- Bulk cutting with pantone color matching 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. Ribbed Tank reorders stay comparable over time because the spec, the lab dip and the golden sample are all on file.
FAQ
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 12 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 4 days each.
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.
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for BSCI, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
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.
