Textile Dyeing: Lab Dip & Shade Approval Guide

Establish the colour reference

Send a physical textile reference or an agreed colour identification and state the construction to be developed. Clarify whether several articles need to coordinate. Review each construction on its own sample rather than assuming the same colour reference will produce an identical visual effect everywhere.

Record sample approval precisely

Identify the lab dip or development sample, revision and date. Agree the lighting or viewing conditions used for approval and retain the accepted reference. State any required tolerance or test evidence in the purchasing brief instead of relying on a screen image.

Prepare for repeat orders

Keep the original colour reference connected to the article specification. Agree how subsequent batches will be compared and how shade changes are handled. Include the intended wash and drying process when asking for colourfastness or appearance assessment for the quality offered.

What to include in your enquiry

• Reference colour and construction
• Approved sample revision and viewing conditions
• Repeat-batch comparison and wash criteria
• Quantities, delivery country, required date and packing requirements.

Al Haseeb Textiles reviews your brief against the proposed quality. Request written confirmation of the specification, sample terms, minimum quantities, price and programme timing. Keep the approved sample and quotation together as the purchasing reference.
