Rashid Textile Printing

Company Profile

Faisalabad is Pakistan's textile-printing heartland, and Rashid's profile fits the cluster: printing as the headline activity, a broad woven base to print on, and made-ups — the bed sheet, pillow cover and quilt cover sets that are the region's staple export — finished for shipment. The blend of man-made and natural fibres in the classification widens the print base options, from cotton percale for bedding to blended lining and flannel qualities. Idrees Ahmed Sheikh is the contact named in the record, on Sargodha Road in Faisalabad.

What separates one weaving mill from another is seldom the loom list and usually the preparation and finishing around it: warping and sizing quality decide how cleanly a cloth weaves, and dyeing and finishing decide how it looks, feels and behaves after washing. With Rashid Textile Printing, as with any weaver of 'Textile fabrics and made-ups — printed fabrics and bed sheets,', the useful questions concern consistency between lots — shade bands, shrinkage after finishing, and the inspection standard applied before a roll is accepted as first quality.

Sourcing and Working With Rashid Textile Printing

Printed made-ups are specified as a set: base fabric construction and weight, print design and colourway count, finished sizes for sheets and covers, and packing format. Ask whether your base cloth would be woven in-house or bought in, and agree print strike-offs and shrinkage allowances before bulk, since bedding sizes are unforgiving. Confirm the made-up stitching and inspection arrangements in the same quotation as the fabric price.

Buyers should confirm the commercial frame with Rashid Textile Printing early: currency, price basis (ex-works or delivered), payment terms and who carries freight and insurance. On the technical side, state the end use honestly — a fabric bought for one purpose and used for a harder one fails in ways no mill can answer for. Where the fabric will be converted by a third party, introduce the converter into the specification conversation, because cutting and sewing requirements (width consistency, skew, shrinkage) shape what the mill should control.

Understanding the Range

Woven cloth rewards buyers who read constructions rather than names. The same weave name can be produced at several thread counts and weights, and the difference shows up in opacity, crease behaviour and how the cloth sews. A mill like Rashid Textile Printing will quote against a construction — yarn count, threads per inch, finished weight and width — and that written construction, kept with the approved sample, is what makes a repeat order come back the same as the first. Printed, dyed and grey versions of one construction are effectively three products, and should be sampled and approved as three.
