Printed Ponte Knit Fabrics: Bold Patterns, Premium Performance
As a leading printed Ponte knit fabric manufacturer, RED&BLACK brings artistry to technical textiles with our exclusive collection of designer prints. From classic houndstooth to vibrant florals, each pattern is precision-engineered onto our signature Ponte base - maintaining all the stretch, recovery and durability that makes this fabric so beloved by designers worldwide.
Designer Prints Collection by Pattern Type
1. Striped Print Ponte Knit Fabric: Our precision-engineered stripes maintain perfect alignment during cutting and sewing, with options ranging from subtle pinstripes (1/8" spacing) for professional wear to bold 1" contrast stripes for statement pieces. The stretch properties of our base fabric ensure stripes recover perfectly after wear.
2. Leopard Print Ponte Knit Fabric: Animal prints done right - our rotary screen printing technology creates photorealistic leopard spots that won't crack or fade. Available in traditional amber/black combinations as well as fashion-forward colorways like silver/black and rose/cream for contemporary collections.
3. Printed Houndstooth Ponte Knit Fabric: A modern twist on the classic pattern, our houndstooth maintains crisp geometric precision while offering the comfort of stretch. Ideal for blazers, skirts and dresses where traditional wool houndstooth would be too restrictive.
4. Printed Floral Ponte Knit Fabric: Featuring botanically accurate floral designs with up to 12 color registrations for depth and realism. Our specialty binder system ensures flowers stay vibrant through 50+ washes without compromising the fabric's stretch recovery.
5. Printed Plaid Ponte Knit Fabric: Perfect pattern matching at seams with our engineered plaids, available in traditional tartans and modern color-blocked variations. The vertical/horizontal stretch makes these ideal for fitted garments where pattern continuity is crucial.
Why Choose Our Printed Ponte Knits?
• Advanced Printing Technology: As a specialized printed Ponte fabric manufacturer, we utilize both rotary screen and digital printing methods to achieve exceptional detail. Our proprietary fixation process ensures colors remain vibrant (4-5 colorfastness) without stiffening the fabric.
• Pattern Engineering Expertise: Before production, our technical team adjusts all patterns to account for the fabric's 30-40% crosswise stretch. This prevents distortion and ensures designs look perfect when garments are worn.
• Custom Development: We offer custom print development with 3-5 day sampling turnaround. Provide your artwork or let our design team create exclusive patterns tailored to your brand aesthetic.
