Fabric Sourcing
Low-MOQ Fabric Sourcing, Under 500m
High mill minimums crush agility for young brands and capsule collections — you shouldn't buy 3,000m to test one style. Burhan is built for low-MOQ sourcing: we point you to the doors that genuinely open small, so you start on proof and scale on demand.
Under 500 metres there are three real routes: digital printing from 100 m per colour per design, greige and Available/Limited stock qualities in smaller lengths, and development structured to a genuine processing minimum. Printing bulk runs 20–40 days after sample approval.
What we cover
What can be sourced under 500 metres?
Your genuinely low-MOQ routes with Burhan: (1) digital/sublimation printing from just 100 m per colour per design — the fastest way to launch a small printed collection; (2) greige and Available/Limited stock qualities you can take in smaller lengths; (3) development and sampling to prove a style before committing to bulk. Honest note: custom dyeing to your own colour starts at 1,500 m/colour (under 160 GSM) or 3,000 m/colour (160 GSM+) — so for small runs we steer you to digital print, available stock, or existing shades rather than a fresh dye lot.
Commercials
What is the real minimum below 500 metres?
Digital print 100 m/colour; greige 30–60 days; available qualities shipped as stock allows. We're transparent on every minimum up front — no surprises after you've committed.
Why Burhan
Why source a small run through a partner?
One accountable partner who makes small orders workable and scales with you. Qualifying lines may benefit from the GSP+ EU duty advantage, subject to eligibility. Since 2007 — not a mill.
FAQ
Common questions
What can I actually order small?
Digital-printed fabric from 100 m/colour, greige, and Available/Limited stock qualities.
Why is custom dyeing higher?
A fresh dye lot needs 1,500 m/colour (under 160 GSM) or 3,000 m/colour (160 GSM+) to run economically — so for small runs we use digital print or existing shades.
Do small orders cost more per metre?
Sometimes slightly; we minimise it and are transparent on trade-offs.
Can you help me scale later?
Yes — proven styles move to better bulk pricing and rotary printing.
