For retail buyers developing table linens, pillows and seasonal decorations, the first decision is how the artwork will be translated into fabric. At Linens Lane, our team in China develops original designs and works through the construction details with you before production.
Start with the design and its placement
Printing is an option to discuss for all-over repeats, detailed illustrations and designs that need to continue across a fabric surface. Embroidery can introduce thread texture and emphasize selected motifs. A combination of print and embroidery lets you discuss which details should be stitched and which should remain printed. The final choice depends on the artwork, fabric, dimensions, quantity and target price; one technique is not automatically the right choice for every product.
For custom table runners, decide whether the design should cover the full length, form a central composition or decorate the ends. For wholesale placemats, consider how the motif will look with a plate in place: a corner detail, border and central composition create different table settings.
Compare the sample, not only the rendering
Our development options include printing, print combined with embroidery, chain-stitch embroidery, cord embroidery and hand-embroidery combinations. During sampling, review the base fabric, color references, motif scale, placement and edge finish together. For embroidered work, include the reverse side and the feel of the stitched area in your review. Confirm fabric composition and care instructions for the selected construction rather than assuming them from a design image.
For kitchen towels, tell us whether the range is intended primarily for decorative display or everyday use. For decorative pillows, specify covers or filled pillows and the finished dimensions. For Christmas stockings, include cuff, lining and hanging-loop requirements; for Christmas tree skirts, include diameter, center opening and closure details.
Compare quotations on the same specification
A useful inquiry includes the SKU or artwork reference, quantity per design, dimensions, fabric preference, proposed technique, packaging, destination and required arrival date. Include any retailer labeling or testing requirements. Minimum quantities and prices are confirmed for the actual specification; a small-order timing example does not establish a universal minimum order quantity.
Allow time beyond production
Large custom orders typically ship in 60–90 days, and small orders typically ship in around 30 days. Selected simple printed products below 500 pieces per design may ship in 15–20 days, subject to project confirmation. These estimates refer to dispatch. Sample development and approval, freight and customs also need to fit your buying calendar.
