Frequently Asked Questions

We have been operating in the textile dyeing and finishing industry since 1985. Our main services are: production of workwear fabrics, denim and fancy woven fabrics; fabric dyeing (reactive, disperse, indigo); finishing treatments (sanforising, softening, water and stain repellency, calendering); and production planning with lead time management. We are based in Merter, Istanbul and supply both the Turkish and international markets.

We produce three main groups: (1) workwear and uniform fabrics — gabardine, ripstop and twill constructions built for durability; (2) denim — stretch and rigid indigo denims woven from ring and open-end yarns; (3) fancy woven fabrics — patterned and special-effect outerwear fabrics.

The process runs in sequence: pre-treatment (singeing, desizing, bleaching and mercerising); then dyeing suited to the fibre type (reactive, disperse, indigo or vat dyes); and finally finishing treatments such as sanforising, softening, water and stain repellency and calendering. Washing, rubbing, light and perspiration fastness together with shrinkage values are checked on every batch.

Minimum meterage depends on the fabric type, the number of colours and how the production line is running. Because we work on a dye-lot basis, there is a lower limit per colour. Once you share your requirement, we provide a specific figure based on fabric type and colour count.

You can reach us through the form on our Contact page or by calling +90 212 539 44 65. Sharing the end use, target fabric weight, width, blend ratio, colour reference and estimated meterage speeds up the process. Swatches of existing qualities are sent within a few working days; where development is required, an approval sample and quotation follow the laboratory work.

Fabric weight (g/m² or oz/yd²) is chosen according to end use. Workwear and uniforms are usually made in the 180-320 g/m² range. In denim, 8-10 oz suits shirting and summer garments, 11-13 oz is standard for classic trousers and jackets, while 14 oz and above is preferred for workwear and heavy-duty use. Our blog articles cover this in detail.

Yes. Dye recipes are recorded in the laboratory and the same recipe is used for repeat orders, keeping shade variation between lots within acceptable tolerances. For colour-critical applications we recommend taking an approval sample before bulk production.

Efficient use of resources, reducing waste in production and choosing environmentally conscious processes are among our core priorities. Water, energy and chemical consumption are monitored, and because recipes are built for repeatability, losses caused by reprocessing are reduced. Full detail is on our Sustainability page.

Dyeing is carried out with indigo and vat recipes, and finishing steps such as sanforizing and softening are completed in the same plant.

Yes. TAÇYILDIZ BOYA - APRE TEKSTİL has worked in textile dyeing and finishing since 1985. Pre-treatment (singeing, desizing, bleaching, mercerizing), dyeing suited to the fibre type (reactive, disperse, indigo, vat) and finishing (sanforizing, softening, water/stain repellency, calendering) are all handled in a single facility. Dye recipes are recorded in our laboratory, so shade continuity is maintained on repeat orders.

Our head office and production facility are located in Merter, Istanbul. Dyeing and finishing operations are carried out at this plant, which can be visited by appointment for sampling, colour cards and production meetings. For an appointment or directions, call +90 212 539 44 65 or use the contact form on our website.

Gabardine is one of the core qualities in TAÇYILDIZ BOYA - APRE TEKSTİL's workwear and uniform fabric range, woven and dyed at our facility in Merter, Istanbul. For wholesale enquiries, sharing the end use, target weight (usually 180-320 gsm for workwear), width, blend ratio, colour reference and estimated meterage speeds up the quotation. Colour cards for existing qualities are dispatched within a few working days.

Yes. One of our three main production groups is patterned and special-effect fancy woven outerwear fabrics. Requests that need custom development start with laboratory work, followed by an approval sample and a quotation. Sharing the end use, target weight, width, blend ratio and colour reference with your enquiry shortens the process.

The process runs from enquiry, to colour card or laboratory work, to an approval sample and quotation, and then to production planning. Production planning and delivery scheduling are part of our services; lead time is confirmed at order approval according to fabric type, number of colours and the dye batch plan. For order status you can call +90 212 539 44 65.
