Putting printed fabric on mill paperwork — brief printed fabric

Does every printed fabric listing mean the same cloth?

No. Printed fabric carries colour or motif on a base cloth. Base cloth still rules performance. Name base fibre, print method if published, repeat size, and colourfastness notes.

Can you skip sampling printed fabric?

Wash a sample if the garment will be washed. Check repeat across a panel.

What should stay on the brief besides the keyword printed fabric?

Base cloth, print method, repeat, weight, and colourfastness. Buying the print and ignoring the base fibre and construction.
