Dye House Service · Since 1998 · GOTS & OEKO-TEX Certified
Dye House Service for Fabric, Yarn, and Garment Dyeing
Commercial-scale dye house operations for fabric mills, wholesalers, and garment manufacturers. Our dyeing facility processes 50,000-80,000 kg of fabric daily with reactive, disperse, vat, and sulphur dyeing capabilities. Contract dyeing, bulk dyeing, and specialty dyeing for B2B buyers who need professional dyeing as a standalone service.
What is a Dye House Service?
A dye house is a specialized facility dedicated to dyeing textiles at commercial scale. Unlike garment manufacturers that offer dyeing as part of full production, a dye house focuses exclusively on the dyeing process — serving fabric mills, wholesalers, and garment manufacturers who need professional dyeing as a standalone service.
Our dye house in Bangladesh operates 24/7 with computerized color matching, automated chemical dosing, and energy-efficient machinery. We process fabric, yarn, and finished garments through reactive, disperse, vat, sulphur, and pigment dyeing processes — all certified to GOTS and OEKO-TEX standards.
How Dye House Service Differs from Dyeing Service
Dye house service is B2B-focused on commercial scale operations. Fabric mills send greige fabric for bulk dyeing before knitting or weaving. Wholesalers contract dye houses for large color batches. Garment manufacturers use dye houses for fabric preparation before cut-and-sew.
Dyeing service (our other page) is broader — serving fashion brands who need garment dyeing, sample dyeing, or color development as part of their production. Dye house is for industrial dyeing contracts. Minimums are higher, capacity is larger, and operations are designed for throughput rather than customization.
Capacity and Scale
Our dye house operates at commercial scale with multiple production lines:
- • Fabric dyeing capacity: 50,000-80,000 kg per day
- • Yarn dyeing capacity: 15,000-25,000 kg per day
- • Garment dyeing capacity: 10,000-20,000 pieces per day
- • Lab dip development: 200-300 lab dips per week
- • Multiple dye houses for different fiber types to avoid contamination
Contract Dyeing for Fabric Mills
Fabric mills use our contract dyeing service when they need additional capacity or specialized dyeing capabilities. You send greige fabric, we dye it to your specification, and return it ready for your finishing processes.
Long-term contracts available with guaranteed capacity allocation, priority scheduling, and fixed pricing. We maintain color records for repeat orders to ensure consistency across seasons.
Bulk Dyeing for Wholesalers
Wholesalers and trading companies use our bulk dyeing service to create stock fabric in popular colors. We dye large batches that can be split across multiple buyers or held as inventory for just-in-time delivery.
Bulk dyeing offers cost advantages through economies of scale. Minimums are higher but per-kg pricing is lower. We can consolidate orders from multiple buyers using the same color to help smaller buyers access bulk pricing.
Dye Types We Offer
Reactive Dyeing
For cotton, linen, rayon, and other natural fibers. Reactive dyes form chemical bonds with fiber molecules for excellent wash fastness and color vibrancy. Standard for most cotton dyeing applications.
Disperse Dyeing
For polyester, acetate, and other synthetic fibers. Disperse dyes are non-ionic and penetrate synthetic fibers at high temperature. Essential for polyester and polyester-blend fabrics.
Vat Dyeing
For maximum colorfastness on cotton and rayon. Vat dyes are insoluble in water and require reduction-oxidation process. Provides excellent resistance to light, washing, and chlorine. Premium option for workwear and uniforms.
Sulphur Dyeing
For cotton and rayon in deep colors like black, navy, and brown. Sulphur dyes are economical for dark shades with good wash fastness. Commonly used for denim and workwear fabrics.

Getting Started with SDF Clothing — What to Expect
Starting a new manufacturing relationship requires trust, clear communication, and a structured process. SDF Clothing has worked with hundreds of brands across the USA, UK, Australia, and Europe, and we've refined our onboarding process to make it as simple and transparent as possible for new clients.
The first step is always a design brief or tech pack submission. You don't need a finished tech pack to get started — even a rough sketch, a reference garment, or a detailed description is enough for us to provide a ballpark quote and confirm whether your project is a good fit for our factory. From there, we move to formal costing, which includes fabric sourcing, trim selection, and lead time confirmation.
Sampling is the most important phase of any manufacturing project. We produce a pre-production sample for your approval before any bulk fabric is cut. This sample lets you verify fit, construction, fabric quality, and color accuracy before committing to full production. Most clients approve samples within two rounds of revisions. We never proceed to bulk without your written approval.
Bulk production follows a structured quality control process. Our QC team conducts in-line checks during production and a final AQL inspection before packing. You receive a pre-shipment inspection report with photographs and measurements before we release your order for shipping. If anything falls outside the agreed specifications, we address it before the goods leave our factory.
Shipping from Bangladesh to the USA, UK, or Australia takes between 22 and 35 days by sea freight. We prepare all export documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and bill of lading. For EU shipments, we include the necessary documentation to support duty-free entry under the GSP scheme. Air freight is available for urgent orders and samples.
What Brands Say About Working with SDF Clothing
Our clients value three things above everything else: reliability, communication, and quality consistency. We respond to all enquiries within one business day. We provide weekly production updates during bulk manufacturing. And we back every shipment with our quality guarantee — if a garment doesn't meet the agreed specifications, we make it right.
Whether you're launching your first clothing brand with 300 pieces or scaling an established label with thousands of units per season, SDF Clothing provides the same level of attention and professionalism. Our minimum order quantity of 300 pieces reflects our commitment to supporting brands at every stage of growth, not just large buyers with the leverage to demand low prices.
Ready to start? Submit your design brief through our contact page or request a sample directly. We'll respond with a quote within 48 hours and guide you through every step of the manufacturing process from there.

For US brands, sourcing from Bangladesh avoids the Section 301 tariffs that add 25% or more to Chinese imports.
