Wholesalers in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and beyond trust us for consistent quality, competitive factory pricing, and full customization options.

Clothing manufacturers and fabric wholesalers across East Africa face several persistent challenges. Traditional cotton Kitenge fabrics, while popular, tend to fade quickly and wrinkle easily after washing. Pure silk is too expensive for the mass market. Many imported polyester prints feel uncomfortable and sticky in hot, humid climates. The result is unsatisfied customers and lost repeat business. Furthermore, finding a reliable overseas supplier who understands African print trends and delivers consistent quality batch.

Our 100% acrylic cross grain fabric directly solves these challenges. It combines the luxurious silk-like drape that African customers love with the practical durability and easy care that modern consumers demand. The special Niagara texture enhances softness while giving a refined, subtle sheen. Our eco-friendly digital printing renders your designs with razor-sharp detail and deep, rich colors. Through advanced heat fixation, the pigments are locked into the fibers, ensuring the fabric remains colorfast and fade-resistant even after months of regular wear and washing. As your dedicated factory partner, we offer complete customization of patterns, density, and roll specifications, along with reliable shipping to all major East African ports including Mombasa and Dar es Salaam.

Our digital printing process guarantees sharp, long-lasting results on every meter of acrylic fabric. Here is the step-by-step workflow:

1. You submit your design files in AI, PSD, PDF, TIFF, or high-resolution JPEG format (minimum 300 dpi at actual size).

2. Our team pre-treats the fabric to ensure optimal ink adhesion and color brightness.

3. We print your design using eco-solvent inks that are skin-safe and environmentally friendly.

4. A heat fixation process permanently bonds the pigments to the fibers, ensuring wash-fastness and fade resistance.

5. Every roll passes through a strict quality control inspection.

6. We produce a pre-production sample (up to 2 meters) and send it for your approval before launching bulk manufacturing.

• Fabric Weight: Our standard 100gsm is ideal for lightweight, flowing garments. For structured pieces or heavier traditional wear, ask about our 120-150gsm options.

• Weave Density: The standard 90x50 provides an excellent balance of drape and opacity. If you require a more sheer or denser fabric, we can customize accordingly.

• Print Design: Select from our growing catalog of African-inspired patterns or upload your unique artwork. We can also adapt existing Kitenge motifs to this premium acrylic base.

• Roll Specifications: Fixed width is 112cm. Please notify us in advance if you require special winding, cutting, or packaging for your local market.

• Order Quantity: Custom print MOQ starts at 500 meters. For stock designs from our catalog, we accept orders from as low as 200 meters. Sample orders are available before committing to bulk production.

1. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

   For custom printed acrylic fabric with your own design, the MOQ is 500 meters. For existing patterns in our catalog, orders can start from 200 meters. We also offer sample lengths of up to 5 meters for quality and color evaluation.

2. Do you ship to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and other East African countries?

   Yes, we ship regularly to all major East African destinations, including Mombasa (Kenya), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Kampala (Uganda), Kigali (Rwanda), and Bujumbura (Burundi). Standard shipping time is 20-35 days depending on the destination port. Express shipping options are also available upon request.

3. Are the inks safe for skin contact and will the colors fade?

   Our eco-solvent and pigment inks are OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring they are completely safe for skin contact. The colors are heat-fixed into the fibers and will not fade even after repeated machine washing at 30°C. We recommend ironing on the reverse side to maintain the fabric's sheen.

4. Can I order a sample before placing a bulk order?

   Absolutely. We strongly recommend sampling first. We will produce a sample up to 2 meters with your chosen design. The sample cost is fully deducted from your final bulk order invoice.

5. What file formats do you accept for custom designs?

   We accept AI, PSD, PDF, TIFF, and high-resolution JPEG files. Please ensure all artwork is at least 300 dpi at a 1:1 scale. Our in-house design studio can assist with minor file adjustments or pattern adaptation for African print styles at no extra charge for bulk orders.

6. What makes this acrylic fabric better than traditional cotton Kitenge?

   Unlike cotton Kitenge, our acrylic fabric does not wrinkle, fades far less over time, and dries significantly faster after washing. It also offers a more lustrous, silky finish while remaining more affordable than silk or high-end cotton blends. This makes it a profitable upgrade for many East African fashion brands.
