Common options include cotton canvas, cotton slub, handloom cotton, linen blends, jute blends, velvet and textured woven fabrics. The choice depends on retail positioning and design technique.
Can I combine several fabrics in one collection?

Can I order multiple sizes?
Yes. Square and lumbar sizes can be combined in a coordinated collection.
Are cushion covers supplied with inserts?
They can be supplied either as covers only or with inserts where suitable. Covers-only programs are common for international buyers because they reduce freight volume.
What is the MOQ for gift-store cushion covers?
MOQ depends on fabric, artwork, technique and number of designs. Selected manufacturers may support mixed-design or lower-volume development programs where commercially feasible.
Can I order small quantities per design?
Potentially yes. This is easier when standard fabrics and shared colours or production techniques are used across several designs.
Can several designs be combined into one order?
Yes. Mixed assortments can be planned across multiple designs, provided minimum production requirements for materials and techniques can be met.
Can you work with a target retail price?
Yes. Sharing both target retail price and target landed or buying price helps identify appropriate materials and techniques for the assortment.
Can I develop both affordable and premium cushions?
Yes. A collection can combine lower-cost printed designs with higher-value embroidered, tufted or handcrafted pieces.
Can private-label branding be added?
Yes. Products can include woven labels, printed care labels, hangtags, belly bands, barcode stickers and buyer-specific packaging.
Can I add a story card?
Yes. Story cards are useful for craft-focused, museum, destination and premium gift products where the design story contributes to perceived value.

Yes. Buyer-provided barcode data can be applied to individual packaging or hangtags.

Can cushion designs be exclusive?
Buyer-owned artwork can be developed exclusively for a buyer subject to agreed intellectual-property and commercial terms with the relevant supplier.
How are custom designs approved?
Development can include artwork review, digital mockups, strike-offs, embroidery samples and physical cushion samples before bulk approval.
Can Pantone colours be matched?
Pantone references can be used for development, with final approval based on lab dips, print strike-offs, yarn swatches or physical samples as appropriate.
How long does sampling take?
Sampling time depends on fabric sourcing, artwork complexity, embroidery, printing, tufting and trims. Custom-developed products usually require more time than standard constructions.
How far ahead should seasonal gift collections be ordered?
Buyers should allow enough time for design development, sampling, approvals, production, inspection and international freight. Seasonal programs should therefore be planned well before the intended store launch.
