Custom Mannequin — Coconut Shell with Dye-Sublimation Printing
We supply mannequin to garment factories and brands, built in Coconut Shell with dye-sublimation printing for e-commerce and small-batch brands. On a trim like this the specification that decides the outcome is base stability when a full outfit is pinned on, so that is agreed in writing before bulk — not discovered when the first carton is opened on the line. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style per finish.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line. We lock material, finish, dimension and tolerance before bulk, and prepare REACH and GPSR documentation so the shipment clears instead of sitting at port while your selling season passes.

Where it is used
- Denim and workwear — hard-wearing finishes that survive industrial washing
- Outerwear and tailoring — matched to the shell fabric so it drapes with the garment
- Childrenswear and schoolwear — tested to the destination's safety standard
- Bridal and eveningwear — small runs with hand-finished detail
- Uniform and corporate programmes — repeatable spec held on file for reorders
Packing, testing and delivery
Trims are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by garment set — with barcodes applied where the line needs them. Test reports for OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and hold the approved reference so reorders reproduce the same material, the same finish and the same base stability when a full outfit is pinned on.
FAQ
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 10 working days, and each revision about 5 days.

Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
