Commission Fabric Printing in the UK: Print on Your Own Fabrics or Ours
By Friedmans, 23 April 2026
If you're looking for a reliable partner for commission fabric printing in the UK, you're not alone. Many fashion brands, designers, and manufacturers are actively searching for trusted printers who can deliver consistent, high-quality results, especially when working with customer-supplied fabrics or sourcing new print bases. At Friedmans, we offer a flexible bureau commission printing service, giving you the option to print on your own fabrics or choose from our extensive range of bases. We also offer both dye sublimation and pigment printing services, allowing us to support a wide range of applications, from fashion and sportswear to interiors.
What is Commission / Bureau Fabric Printing?
Commission printing also known as bureau printing is a service where you supply the print file, and we handle the entire printing process.
This is ideal if you:
• Already source your own fabrics
• Work with specialist or technical textiles
• Need flexibility beyond standard print bases
• Want to maintain control over your production process
It allows you to print directly onto your chosen materials, without compromise.
From artwork checks and colour management to sampling and final production, we take care of every stage of the process, so you don’t have to. Our team ensures everything runs smoothly, delivering consistent, high-quality results while saving you time and resource. If you don’t have print-ready artwork, our in-house design team can also support with creating or refining your designs, helping bring your ideas to life.
Print on Your Fabric or Choose from 60+ Professional Bases
Whether you already have your own fabric or need access to high-quality options, we offer complete flexibility to suit your production needs. If you’re supplying your own materials, we can seamlessly integrate into your workflow. We regularly print onto non-stretch bases and polyester performance fabrics, working closely with you to achieve consistent colour accuracy, clarity, and quality across every run.
Alternatively, if you’d prefer to simplify your supply chain, you can choose from our range of over 60 professional print bases, ready for production. Our collection includes fashion and apparel fabrics, sportswear and performance textiles, as well as soft furnishing and interior bases, available in both lightweight and heavyweight options.
This flexible approach allows you to move quickly from design to production, test new ideas without the need to source fabric, and scale efficiently using trusted, proven materials. Whichever route you choose, your fabric or ours, you’ll receive the same high standard of digital textile printing, with fast turnaround times to keep your production moving.
Supporting Brands That Need a New Printing Partner
If you're reviewing your textile printing options or need a new supplier, choosing the right partner is critical.
We work with businesses who:
• Need a reliable UK-based print partner
• Are transitioning from an existing supplier
• Require consistent quality across repeat runs
• Want a smooth, professional onboarding process
Our goal is to make switching suppliers as seamless as possible, with minimal disruption to your production.
