Low MOQ Fabric Supplier
in Turkey — 50 kg per Colour
Altunkaya Tekstil sells knitted fabric from Istanbul with a minimum order of 50 kg per colour — roughly 90 to 150 metres, usually one to three rolls. It is set for small brands, private-label start-ups, toy makers and first production runs that are too large for a fabric shop and too small for a mill.
What is the minimum order?
In short: the minimum order is 50 kg per colour, for stock colours and for custom Pantone/RAL dyeing alike. 50 kg is about 90-150 metres depending on the fabric — usually 1-3 rolls. Several colours and fabrics can go in one shipment as long as each colour reaches 50 kg. Stock colours are dispatched in 2-5 working days; custom dyeing and sublimation-printed designs take 10-15 working days. Physical samples are free; the buyer pays the courier.
How much fabric is 50 kg?
Knitted fabric is sold by weight. Metres per kilo = 1000 ÷ (g/m² × open width in metres). Figures are approximate and vary by batch.
| Fabric | Weight | Width | ≈ Metres per kg | ≈ Metres in 50 kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sherpa (double-faced, 100% polyester) | 290-310 g/m² | 160-170 cm | 2.0 | ≈100 m |
| Anti-pill polar fleece (100% polyester) | 270-280 g/m² | 175-180 cm | 2.0 | ≈100 m |
| Welsoft / coral fleece (100% polyester) | 240-250 g/m² | 180 cm | 2.3 | ≈110 m |
| Three-thread fleece-back sweat (cotton/polyester) | 310-320 g/m² | 180-185 cm | 1.75 | ≈90 m |
| Single jersey (100% combed cotton) | 150-180 g/m² | 100 cm tubular (200 cm open) | 3.0 | ≈150 m of tube |

Who orders 50 kg runs
How a first small order works
- Tell us the fabric, colour and quantity — weight (g/m²), width and end use if you know them.
- Receive samples — we send physical swatches or a colour card free of charge so you can check hand feel, pile and shade.
- Confirm the order — 50 kg per colour; for custom dyeing or a printed design we confirm the shade or artwork with you before bulk production.
- Dispatch — stock colours in 2-5 working days, custom work in 10-15 working days, with invoice, packing list and A.TR or EUR.1.
Why weight, not metres: knitted fabric stretches, so metres are measured differently from roll to roll. Weight is what the knitter, dyer and buyer can all check. If you plan in metres, use the table above and add a small margin.
