FAQ
Wholesale Fleece Fabric — Common Questions
What is anti-pill fleece fabric?
Anti-pill fleece is polar fleece treated with special yarns and finishing so the surface does not form pills (fiber balls) after washing and wear. It keeps its smooth, first-day look — the standard expectation for branded and export-grade apparel. Altunkaya Tekstil produces double-side sheared anti-pill fleece at 270-280 gsm.
Is your polar fleece fabric GOTS or BCI certified?
No. Our polar fleece is 100% polyester, so the certificate that applies is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Product Class I (suitable for baby articles), covering dyeing and finishing. GOTS and BCI apply only to our cotton fabrics, such as single jersey. The certificate number is shared on request.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale fleece fabric?
Our MOQ is just 50 kg per color — one of the lowest in the Turkish textile industry, where standard minimums at large mills typically run 300-500 kg or more. Stock colors ship in 2-5 business days; custom Pantone/RAL dyeing takes 10-15 business days.
Do you ship fleece fabric to the EU and Nordic countries?
Yes. We export to Germany, France, the UK, Scandinavia and 50+ countries worldwide. EU shipments arrive in 3-7 days and travel with A.TR movement certificates for customs advantages under the EU-Türkiye Customs Union. We can work with your freight forwarder or arrange delivery from Istanbul.
What GSM (weight) should I choose for fleece?
Standard garment fleece is 270-280 gsm (jackets, cardigans, outerwear). A lighter 210-220 gsm variant suits light tops and linings, while the 170-180 gsm unbrushed variant works for tracksuits and sportswear. Blankets and home textiles typically use 280 gsm and above.
Can I order printed fleece fabric in bulk?
Yes. Printed fleece is available from 50 kg — both ready designs and custom prints. Custom printed production takes 10-15 business days. It is a favorite for kidswear, blanket and home-textile manufacturers.
Are your fleece fabrics certified?
We hold OEKO-TEX certification covering our production. Certificates and fiber composition documents are shared on request — including the traceability data required by EU due-diligence rules and the French AGEC law.
What is the width of Polar fleece fabric?
Polar fleece fabric is 175-180 cm wide. Always confirm the width before planning your cut: the fabric is sold by weight, so metre yield depends directly on it.
What is Polar fleece fabric made of?
Polar fleece fabric is 100% polyester. Composition is the first figure that determines shrinkage, pilling and care behaviour — ask for it in writing on the order.
