Technical execution
Italian design intent, translated into production
Material engineering
Combed compact cotton, GOTS organic cotton and GRS recycled fibers are matched by GSM, finish, shrinkage and hand-feel—from 140 GSM jersey to 400 GSM fleece.
Compliance and labeling
REACH review and EU Regulation 1007/2011 support fiber composition, Italian wording, care symbols and origin information before production.
Material depth
Fabric weight, yarn type, dimensional stability and finishing are matched to the season: lightweight jersey for summer tees, heavy brushed fleece for streetwear, and certified fibers when required.
EU market readiness
REACH, fiber labeling, GINETEX symbols and origin information are treated as production inputs, not documents added after the garment is finished.

Technical FAQs
Questions Italian brands ask
Can Italian brands start at low volume?
Yes. Fenalt’s standard MOQ is 50 pieces per style, supporting capsule collections, limited editions and market tests without the usual direct-factory minimums.
What quality standard is used?
Bulk orders are inspected under ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Level II with an AQL 2.5 acceptance threshold, supported by raw-material and in-line checks.
How does Fenalt handle tech packs?
The engineering team reviews grading, SPI, seam construction, GSM, artwork and POM requirements, then translates them into production-ready specifications.
What labels are needed for Italy?
Fiber composition and care information are prepared for Italian retail under EU textile-labeling rules, with restricted substances reviewed under REACH.
How are Italian imports shipped?
DAP courier is suited to small-batch delivery to your Italian address while the importer pays local VAT and duties. FOB Chattogram is used for bulk sea freight with the buyer’s forwarder handling destination transit.
Can Fenalt source certified fabrics?
Yes. The managed network can source GOTS organic cotton, GRS recycled polyester and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabrics when the project requirements call for them.
