For international buyers
Turkey combines a complete textile supply chain, from yarn and fabric to finishing and garment making, with close proximity to European markets. Use the directory to find suppliers by sector and city, and our English guides to understand terms, standards and costs before you contact them.
What technical textiles are, the 12 application areas, product examples, which documents apply by sector, and why Turkey's export figures do not add up to one number.
The types of garment samples in the order they are made: proto, fit, size set and PP. What each sample is for, who sews and approves it, how many rounds to plan and how to put approval in writing.
Which workwear needs a standard, and which one? EN ISO 20471, 11612, 11611, 1149-5 and the rain standard, CE marking and PPE risk categories, label reading and how to write a specification.
Fabric, yarn and production terms with definitions, properties and uses.
Lead time is the time from placing a garment order to delivery of the finished goods, and the delivery date is the day the order is due. Turkish suppliers use one word, termin, for both the due date and the time allowed from order to delivery.
A coverstitch is a stretchy stitch, sewn with two or three needles, that leaves parallel straight rows on the face and a covering stitch of looper thread on the back without looping over the fabric edge; the same word names the machine that sews it. Turkish factories call it reçme.
A garment marker is the layout plan that shows how the pattern pieces of a model are arranged on the fabric before cutting, so that they fit the fabric width with as little gap as possible. Turkish factories call it pastal, a word that also names the fabric plies spread on the cutting table, which English calls the lay.
A garment sample is a physical garment sewn before bulk production so that the buyer can approve its size, pattern, color or workmanship. Turkish suppliers call it numune, a word that also covers a fabric swatch, a lab dip or strike-off for color and print approval, and a laboratory test specimen.
MOQ stands for minimum order quantity: the smallest number of pieces, meters or kilograms a manufacturer or supplier will accept in one order. In clothing it is not one figure but several, set separately for each style, fabric color and trim.
A swatch card (Turkish: kartela) is a collection of small sample pieces that a manufacturer or supplier prepares to show customers its fabric, yarn, trim or color options, so the buyer can choose what to order. Depending on what it shows, it is also called a swatch book, shade card, color card or trim card.
