Custom Tank Top for the Asia-Pacific Islands Market — Lace with Hangtag and Packaging
We supply tank top to island-market buyers built for tropical maritime heat and humidity. Cloth weight, openness of weave and colour fastness are specified for heat, humidity and salt air first: Lace at 110-140 gsm, shade-matched to hold up under strong UV, chlorinated water and frequent laundering. Programmes start at 200 pieces per style per colour and ship to Colombo or Male.
The failure modes in this region are consistent: suppliers who disappear once the deposit is paid, and unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We lock the specification before bulk — weight, shrinkage, stitch density and tolerance — and prepare the documents SLSI requires, so containers clear instead of accruing demurrage at the port.

Import, duty and delivery
SLSI certification for Sri Lanka is arranged before the goods leave the factory. We ship LCL or FCL to Colombo or Male, provide the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and quote landed cost so duty and GST are visible before you commit. Reorders draw on the approved specification held on file, which matters for resort programmes that reorder every season.
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 is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 200 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.
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 3 days each.
