Swimwear manufacturer in Bangladesh

Swimwear is judged in the water, not on the hanger. Fabric has to keep its stretch through chlorine, colours must not bleed in sea water, and linings, elastics and seams have to survive salt, sun and sunscreen. We place swimwear with stretch-knit factories set up for it, and test fabric and finished pieces for exactly those conditions.

How each printing and embroidery method works

Specifying swimwear.

The detail below is what turns a sketch into a garment that arrives as you expected. Send what you have and we fill the gaps with you before sampling.

Put this in your tech pack

  • Fabric composition with elastane percentage, weight in GSM, and whether it must be chlorine-resistant for pool use
  • Lining: fabric and weight, and whether the whole garment or only the front is lined
  • Elastic for every edge: type, width and whether it is enclosed, because swim elastics must survive chlorine and salt
  • Measurements per size, relaxed and stretched, with the grading rule for cups and leg openings
  • Support details: cups, pads, underwire channels, adjustable straps and hardware finish
  • Testing to pass: colour fastness to chlorinated and sea water, and UPF if you will claim sun protection
  • Print artwork as vector files, with placement across seams for all-over or engineered prints

What moves the price

  • Fabric: branded, recycled or chlorine-resistant stretch fabrics cost more than standard nylon–elastane
  • Full lining versus front lining, and the lining fabric itself
  • Support components: cups, pads, underwire, rings, sliders and clasps, which are often imported
  • Sublimation or engineered prints, priced by area and aligned panel by panel
  • Testing for chlorine, sea water and UPF, run at an accredited laboratory
  • Number of sizes and cup sizes, since each adds grading and sampling work

How a garment price is built

What goes wrong with swimwear, and how we stop it.

Every category fails in its own way. These are the problems we plan against on this product, and the checks that catch them before your goods ship.

RiskHow we prevent it
Suit loses stretch and bags after pool useChlorine-resistant fabric is specified for pool styles, and stretch recovery is tested after chlorine exposure before bulk.
Colour bleeding in chlorine or sea waterFabric is tested for colour fastness to chlorinated water (ISO 105-E03) and sea water (ISO 105-E02) at an accredited laboratory.
Sheerness when wet or stretchedOpacity is checked wet and on-body at the sample stage; lining or fabric weight is changed if it fails.
Elastic perishing or edges rollingSwim-grade elastic is specified for each edge, and edge construction is approved on the pre-production sample.
Hardware rusting or marking fabricRings, sliders and clasps are specified in coated or swim-safe materials and checked for corrosion before bulk.

Standards for swimwear.

The standards buyers most often ask about in this category. We share the certificates and test reports that apply to the factory and fabric used for your order.

StandardWhat it provesType
GRS — Global Recycled StandardVerifies recycled content (at least 20% to be certified, 50% for an on-product label) and adds social, environmental and chemical requirements for every processing site..Voluntary standard
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100Every component of a product — fabric, thread, labels, buttons, prints — is tested for harmful substances.Voluntary standard
amfori BSCIAudits working conditions against the amfori Code of Conduct: fair pay, working hours, freedom of association, no child or bonded labour, health and safety, and the management systems behind them.Voluntary standard

Quality checks on every order.

Fabric is tested before cutting, the line is checked from the first bundles, and a final AQL inspection happens before packing is sealed. You get the report with photos before you approve shipment.

Swimwear: common questions.

Which fabric should I use for swimwear?

Start from where the swimwear will be worn. Nylon–elastane tricot is the classic fashion swim fabric: soft, glossy and very stretchy, with good colour for prints. Its weakness is chlorine, which attacks elastane first, so a suit worn mainly in pools loses its stretch and bags over a season. For pool and training wear, choose a chlorine-resistant blend or PBT polyester, which keeps its shape far longer at some cost to softness and stretch. Polyester–elastane takes sublimation prints well and resists fading. Recycled nylon and recycled polyester, certified to the Global Recycled Standard, give a traceable sustainability story. Weight matters too: around 180 to 220 GSM keeps light colours opaque when wet. We send fabric options with their test data before sampling, so you choose on performance rather than on how the swatch feels dry.

What testing does swimwear need before it ships?

At minimum, colour fastness to the water it will meet. ISO 105-E03 tests fastness to chlorinated swimming-pool water, with 50 and 100 mg/l of active chlorine the concentrations intended for swimwear, and ISO 105-E02 tests fastness to sea water. Both catch the bleeding and fading that causes returns. Add a stretch and recovery test after chlorine exposure for pool styles, and wet opacity checks on light colours. If you want to claim sun protection, the rating has to come from a laboratory: AS/NZS 4399 in Australia and New Zealand, EN 13758 in Europe, and AATCC 183 with ASTM D6544 in the US, where the fabric is washed, exposed to light and to chlorinated water before it is measured. Children’s swimwear also has to meet the cord and drawstring rules of your market. We book the tests with an accredited laboratory and send you the reports before bulk.
