OUR CUSTOM FABRIC PRINTING SERVICES
We offer several ways to work with us, depending on whether you’re ordering fabric online,
need extra support for a complex project, or are managing ongoing bulk production.
ONLINE FABRIC PRINTING
We offer a simple online fabric uploader where you can print your own fabric 24/7 using our custom fabric printing service. It’s designed for anyone who wants a fabric printing method that’s simple, fast and seamless – upload your design, preview it on fabric, choose your base and order fabric by the metre in just a few clicks.
This is the quickest and most cost‑effective way to turn your digital designs into fabric, perfect for low minimum fabric printing, sampling, ordering after hours, express orders or when you simply want to do it yourself.
ONE ON ONE FABRIC PRINTING SERVICE
Have a fabric printing project that’s a bit more complex, colour‑critical or high stakes? Our one‑on‑one fabric printing service gives you direct support from our team to help you seamlessly transfer your design to fabric. It’s ideal for premium fabric printing projects, large or complex pattern repeats, brand‑critical colours and fashion or interiors work where every detail matters.
We can help with checking and proofing your files, artwork setup, tailored fabric recommendations, optional colour matching, strike‑offs and production planning for both sampling and large print runs. If you need textile or graphic design support, we can also assist with textile design, layout adjustments and preparing your files for commercial fabric printing.
WHOLESALE & TRADE FABRIC PRINTING
For brands and businesses needing regular or large‑volume fabric printing, we offer wholesale bulk fabric printing and trade fabric printing services for commercial textile production. Our team works with Australian labels, homewares brands and product companies to supply consistent custom printed fabric and finished textile products such as cushions, tea towels, scarves, bandanas and more.
We can support ongoing fabric ranges, repeat production runs and integrated product manufacturing, with local printing in our Sydney studio, Australian Made certified textile products and experienced in‑house sewing.
HOW OUR CUSTOM FABRIC PRINTING PROCESS WORKS
Whether you order online or work with us one‑on‑one, our custom fabric printing process
is straightforward from first enquiry through to finished fabric.
STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR FABRIC
Our carefully curated fabric range includes both natural fibres and high-performance polyester options. We stock versatile bases suitable for fashion, interiors, branded products and display applications. To explore the full range, you can order a sample pack and receive physical swatches to review the texture, weight and feel of each fabric before placing your order.
STEP 2: PREPARE YOUR ARTWORK
Once you’ve selected your fabric base, it’s important to prepare your artwork correctly for digital fabric printing. Proper file setup ensures accurate scale, sharp detail and seamless repeat alignment. Visit our artwork specifications page for detailed guidelines, file requirements and helpful tips to achieve the best possible print results.
STEP 3: PRINT & PRODUCTION
After your fabric and artwork are confirmed, your order moves into production at our Sydney studio. We print using advanced digital textile printing technology to ensure consistent quality and colour accuracy. Our standard production turnaround for custom fabric printing is 5 working days, with express options available for urgent projects.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CUSTOM FABRIC PRINTING
Below you’ll find answers to common questions about custom fabric printing, production timelines, fabric types and ordering.
What is digital fabric printing and how does it work?
Digital fabric printing is a process where your artwork file is printed directly onto fabric, either directly or via transfer paper using specialised textile printers and professional fabric inks. This allows for detailed, full-colour designs without screens, plates or setup fees, making it ideal for both small runs and larger production orders.
Which fabrics can I print on?
You can choose from a wide range of natural and polyester fabric bases suitable for fashion, interiors, swimwear, activewear, events and branding. Each fabric has its own weight, weave and finish, allowing you to select the best option for your project.
Can I supply my own fabric for printing?
In most cases, we recommend using our tested fabric bases to ensure consistent colour results, print quality and wash performance. However, if you would like to supply your own fabric, please contact us to discuss suitability and testing requirements.
What is the maximum print width and length?
The maximum printable width depends on the selected fabric base. Most fabrics are printed up to approximately 140–147 cm usable width. Print length is not limited.
How do I place an order for custom fabric printing?
You can upload your design online, choose your fabric base, select the quantity and place your order on our Online Fabric Uploader page. We then print and ship your order from our Sydney studio. If you require a One on One service or assistance with a more complex project, please contact us directly.
Will colours match what I see on my screen?
Colours can vary between screens and fabric types, and between fabric types due to monitor settings, ink types, fabric composition and printing processes. If colour accuracy is critical, we recommend ordering a strike-off (test print). If you require specific colour matching, please contact us to discuss our colour matching service.
Can you provide strike-offs or sampling before bulk production?
Yes, we offer strike-offs (test prints) so you can review colour, quality and fabric feel before committing to a larger order. Strike-offs can be ordered through our Online Fabric Uploader or arranged as part of our One on One service.
What are your standard production and shipping times?
Standard production turnaround for custom fabric printing is approximately 5 business days, plus shipping time depending on your location. Turnaround will vary for textile product manufacturing.
Do you offer express printing services?
Yes, express printing is available for urgent projects on selected fabric bases, subject to availability and conditions.
What are your minimum order quantities?
We handle both small and large production runs. Minimum orders are low, starting from 1 metre, which is ideal for sampling, small collections or creative projects.
How does your pricing work for small runs versus larger volumes?
Pricing is based on the selected fabric base and the number of metres ordered. Volume-based discounts apply for larger quantities. You can view detailed pricing information on our pricing page.
How should I care for my custom printed fabric?
Always follow our print care instructions specific to your chosen fabric base and print method. In general, gentle washing with mild detergents and avoiding harsh chemicals will help preserve colour and fabric quality.
Are your inks and processes eco-friendly?
At Digital Fabrics, we use water-based, non-toxic inks and a print-to-order production process that reduces excess stock and waste compared to traditional printing methods. We also recycle fabric offcuts wherever possible.
Do you offer sewing or product-making services?
Yes, we offer a range of finishing options and textile product manufacturing services, including items such as cushion covers and other custom products. You can view available custom product options on our website or contact us for more information.
Do you ship outside Australia or work with international clients?
Yes, we can arrange international orders. Shipping options and timeframes vary depending on destination and project requirements.
