For Apparel Manufacturers

From design to cut.
Faster.

Manufacturing-grade tools for apparel houses — Pantone-matched palettes, multi-tier color separations, fabric yield calculations, and bulk export.

Apparel manufacturing operates at a scale where small inefficiencies become big costs. Designers ship a print, the merchandiser approves the colorway, the sourcing team translates Pantone codes to the dyer's swatch book, the print partner separates for screens or digital — and a single mistake at any step means re-runs, lost margin, and slipped delivery. Texloom Studio centralizes this pipeline. One file, one master palette, one repeat-math definition, locked from design through pre-press. Every output downstream — print partner, sample room, lab dip, production — comes from the same source. Less translation, fewer mistakes.

Why apparel manufacturing teams choose Texloom

Challenges we solve

Color matching breaks down between design (RGB monitor) and production (CMYK + spot inks). Swatches arrive off-target.
Pantone Color Finder operates in LAB color space with CIEDE2000 — the same standard textile labs use. Match ΔE shows up next to every color, not just visual approximation.
Each print partner wants slightly different file format, layer structure, and color profile. Manual prep per partner is hours of work.
Studio templates save your common partners' specs (DPI, profile, layer structure, naming convention). One click exports the right file for the right partner.
Fabric yield calculation is a separate spreadsheet exercise — and a mistake costs roll yardage.
Fabric Yield calculator takes your rapport size, garment cuts, and roll width and outputs the yardage requirement directly. Built into the same studio as the design.
Designers, merchandisers, sourcing, and pre-press all touch the same files but in different tools.
Texloom Studio is one workspace for the whole team. Shared credit pool, role-based permissions, project history, and centralized color libraries — everyone works from the same source of truth.
Workflow

From idea to production-ready file

  1. 1

    Standardize the brand palette

    Pin every approved Pantone TCX in the team color library. Every design downstream pulls from this palette — drift is impossible because the palette is locked.

  2. 2

    Design and approve

    Designers build prints in Studio. Merchandisers approve via shared project history. Comments, versioning, and role-based locks keep the artwork stable through approval.

  3. 3

    Generate colorways and samples

    Colorway Studio produces 4–10 colorway directions per print at full production resolution. Lab dip files ship to the dyer; sample yardage files ship to the print partner.

  4. 4

    Pre-press: separate, profile, export

    Separation Studio for screen partners, ICC-tagged TIFF/PSD for digital partners. Each export uses your saved partner-spec template.

  5. 5

    Calculate yield and place orders

    Fabric Yield computes the exact yardage by garment cut at the rapport size you've designed for. Sourcing places the roll order with confidence.

Use cases

Common scenarios

Mid-sized apparel brands (10–500 SKUs/year)

Centralized design + pre-press for the in-house design team and external print partners. Shared palette, shared color history, shared file structure.

Private-label manufacturers

Different end-customer brand palettes per program. Texloom keeps each brand's palette and templates separate while the team works in one workspace.

Vertical fashion houses (design + production in-house)

Direct visibility from designer to cutting room. The same file the designer approved is the file the cutter receives — no translation in between.

Sourcing and merchandising teams

Approve, comment, lock, and forward colorways without ever opening Photoshop. The design system is the merch system.

Print and trim sourcing

Send TCX-locked palettes to the dyer for a lab dip. Match comes back, dyer approval logged in the project.

Quality teams and pre-shipment audit

Compare lab-dip swatch to the master TCX with Delta-E. Pass/fail decisions are numbers, not eyeballs.
