Printed cushion and curtain fabrics for private label

ArtzFolio makes eighteen fabric products in five families, all under your label. Knowing the families helps you name each product correctly in a brief.

Not every family suits every buyer. A hotel or interior project often starts with curtains and cushion covers, a home brand may begin with cushion covers and table linen, and a gift or lifestyle brand may add tote bags. Pick the two or three products that fit how you sell, then grow the range once the first pattern is proven.

• Cushions and pillows: cushion covers, bolster covers, pillow cases and pouffes.
• Curtains: room curtains and shower curtains.
• Table and kitchen linen: table covers, runners, placemats and napkins.
• Wall and upholstery: wall tapestries and upholstery fabric sold by the metre.
• Everyday accessories: aprons, tote bags, backpacks, storage and laundry bins, pouches and sleep masks.

Digital printing puts your artwork straight onto the cloth, so a detailed or many-coloured design does not need a separate setup for each colour. ArtzFolio prints digitally in its own factory, on canvas, paper and the polyester family of fabrics: canvas, matte, velvet, satin, taffeta, georgette, crepe, muslin and similar cloths.

Different cloths take a print differently. In general, a smooth cloth such as satin shows fine detail with a sheen, while canvas gives a more textured, matte look. Tell the team the look and feel you want, and name the product the cloth is for.

Some details are stated in our catalogue; the rest are agreed with you product by product.

The right-hand column matters most when you compare quotes. Because sizes, fabric weight and width are not published as one figure, two suppliers can quote the same product with different cloth. Write down the cloth, the size and the closure for each product, and ask every supplier to quote against the same list.

A pattern repeats across every shape, which is why a matched family works. A good first brief is a cushion cover, a table runner and a tote in one pattern. It shows how the print behaves on each shape before you commit to a larger range.

Keep in mind that a pattern scales differently on a small cushion and a long curtain. A large motif may be cut by a seam on a small piece, while a fine repeat can look busy across a wide drop. Choose a hero design, then check it at each product's size. For hotel or project work, the same print can also sit beside framed wall art made in the same factory.

Think about colour too. Printed colour can look different on a glossy satin and on matte canvas, so a pattern that matches on one cloth may drift on another. If cushions and curtains must match exactly, say so, and ask whether they should be printed on the same cloth or on different cloths with an approved colour reference.

The cloth and the print are the two choices that change the most, so sample both. Send a design file, or a photo of something close, because it tells the team more than a long description. List each product by the names used in our catalogue, say whether the pieces should match, and give a size for each or name a product to match.

Samples are paid; by agreement, the cost can be reimbursed or adjusted in your final order. The quote states the sample plan and price, and the full run is made against your approved sample. Prices, minimums and lead times are confirmed in the quote.

Look at the sample as the customer will: drape the curtain, plump the cushion, check the seams, the zipper or overflap, the hems and the print at the edges. Check that the pattern is where you expect on the finished piece, because a pattern cut across a seam is far easier to correct at sample stage than in a full run.
