Buying Guide — How to Choose the Right Rib Knit Fabric

Factors to Consider Before Purchasing

1. End-Use & Style: Casual vs premium vs performance — choose cotton blends for comfort, polyester/nylon blends for durability/performance.
2. Stretch & Recovery Requirements: Check spandex percentage and modulus ratings if available; higher spandex usually equals better recovery.
3. GSM and Weight: Lighter GSM for summer-weight jackets, heavier GSM for cold-weather or structured looks.
4. Color & Dyeing: Ask for sample swatches and colorfastness reports (wash and rubbing tests) for export or retail garments.
5. Roll / Cut Specifications: Decide on roll lengths, pre-cut strips, or pre-attached trims to streamline production.
6. Compliance & Certifications: For international shipments, check if OEKO-TEX or similar certifications are required by your buyer.

Price Ranges (Wholesale Estimates)

Note: Prices vary by blend, GSM and order quantity. Indicative wholesale ranges (per meter) are:

• Basic Cotton-Spandex 2x2 rib: Economical tier — low to mid price range.
• Polyester/Interlock heavy rib: Mid-tier — slightly higher due to weight and finish.

Maintenance Tips — Care & Longevity

• Pre-shrink & Quality Check: Always pre-shrink trims before attaching to main shell fabrics to avoid puckering.
• Washing: Use mild detergents; prefer gentle machine cycles or hand wash. Avoid high-heat washing to preserve elasticity.
• Drying: Air-dry flat where possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying which can break down spandex over time.
• Ironing: Use low heat and protect with a pressing cloth. Many rib trims do not require heavy pressing.
• Storage: Store rolls flat or on wide cores to prevent stretch or distortion at edges.
