Private label bedsheets, towels and home textiles from India

Private label bedsheets, towels and home textiles from India mean your design, your size, your label and your packing. Here is how the process and the minimums work.

· 3 min read · Creston & Co

Private label bedsheets from India are made to your size, thread count, print and packing, and sold under your brand. The same applies to private label towels and other home textiles. Minimums depend on the product and the number of designs, and are usually set per design and per colour.

India has deep capacity in bedding, terry towels and printed home furnishings. The range is described in home textile products sourced from Gujarat.

What can you customise?

Whether you want private label towels in India, private label bedsheets or a wider private label home textiles range, most of the product can be changed. Start by deciding which parts are fixed by your brand and which can follow the factory's standard. Fibre and yarn count, weave, thread count, size, colour, print, embroidery, border and finish are all choices. Bedding sizes differ between the US, UK and EU, so check bedsheet sizes by market before you set your size chart.

Bedding sizes differ between the US, UK and EU, so check the size chart for your market before you brief the factory. Towels are defined by weight in grams per piece, size, yarn and pile. Be exact, because small changes in weight change the feel and the cost.

How do minimums work?

Minimums are tied to the loom, the dye house and the print line. A new print needs a screen or a cylinder, and a new colour needs a dye lot. Ask the factory for these figures and confirm them in writing:

  • The minimum per design, per colour and per size.
  • Whether a mixed order across sizes can reach the total together.
  • The minimum for stock fabric and for fabric made to your colour.
  • Any setup charge for screens, cylinders or embroidery files.

Labels and packaging

Retail home textiles are sold on their packaging, so budget time for artwork approval. Printers need final files, barcodes and legal text early, and a change at a late stage can delay the whole order. The options include polybags, printed cards, boxes and sets tied with ribbon, and they are priced per piece. Custom packaging and labels for home textiles describes what is available. The wider guide to minimums is private label home textile MOQ in India.

Care and fibre labels must meet the rules of the market you sell into. Care label requirements by market lists them, and you should confirm the current rules with your customs broker or regulator.

Quality and compliance

Decide the test targets before sampling, not after. Ask each factory which tests it does in its own laboratory and which it sends out, and agree who pays for retests if a lot fails. A written test plan avoids disputes later. Shrinkage, colourfastness, fibre content and, for children's or bedding products, flammability and chemical limits may all apply. Home textile shrinkage limits is a good place to start. For certification, such as OEKO-TEX or GOTS, confirm with the supplier early that the whole chain can be covered.

Approve a pre-production sample and keep it sealed. Compare the production lot against it, not against your memory.
