Surface textures organic cotton poplin

Surface textures

Crisp and bright, this tightly woven Poplin is a perfect fabric for wearing against the skin. The natural cotton fibers feel warm, dry and slightly grainy to hand. The tightness of the weave makes this cotton much more opaque and less breathable than most fabrics of this weight.

Print detail organic cotton poplin

Print detail

This Janice poplin organic cotton fabric has wonderful print reproduction and comes in two print options. Pigment printing creates a soft color tone, however, due to the fact that this is an untreated organic fabric with a cream base tone, they may appear muted. Reactive printing creates a brighter tone as your design is infused into the cotton.

Usage organic cotton poplin

Usage

The crisp texture and tight weave of this poplin make it an excellent choice for making men's shirts. This beautiful, fully natural printed cotton fabric is also a great choice for children's clothing, being completely organic from field to loom. A natural choice for light fabric projects, such as slip dresses, pajamas and pillowcases.

Reviews for Organic Cotton Poplin

Rated 4.9/5 based on 32 customer reviews view all

Fun Fast Fabulous I really appreciated the detailed descriptions provided for each fabric as that allowed for best selection to suit my project. It was then so fun to create an individualized design with the easy to use design and sizing tools, print quality check and fabric preview. There was great communication on order progress/delivery, which was fast. The print quality was fabulous and looked exactly as I'd hoped. Sew fun!


Perfect Turned out exactly the way I expected. Looks great!


Just ok Quick processing and delivery, fabric printing image didn’t match submitted set up


Lovely product 5 stars


6 TIME RETURNING CUSTOMER
Quick shipping and great quality! This is my third Time ordering from Contrado and I am still always impressed with the service! I ordered custom logo fabric for face masks- the cotton twill, a little heavier for the coming winter months!


2 TIME RETURNING CUSTOMER
Perfect It’s exactly what I hoped it would be. Printing is clear and fabric sturdy. Quick delivery!


Clean, detailed print Of the twelve prints I ordered, this was the file quality that most worried me, but it printed as clearly as the designed file. This was my first time ordering a large quantity print, and I will definitely use the company's services again. Clear communication on reviewing submitted files and quick delivery of the test run for approval before proceeding with the rest of the order.


2 TIME RETURNING CUSTOMER
Great quality! took longer than expected to arrive but very happy with the product overall


4 TIME RETURNING CUSTOMER
Excellent Very Happy with the result. Fast shipping


2 TIME RETURNING CUSTOMER
Beautiful texture and feeling of the fabric The texture of the silk twill fabric felt very luxurious, and nice to touch. The quality felt great, and the sewn edge finish added a finishing touch. I was hoping for my design to turn out brighter and more vibrant when printed on the fabric. I’m not sure if this is a quality specific to the material to be mindful of. I’m wondering if there is another 100% silk fabric that would make the colours in the artwork print more vibrantly, or if there is something else that can be adjusted. Thank you!


3 TIME RETURNING CUSTOMER
very satisfied was very pleased with service and effectiveness of your operation.


happy with the printing i really like printing on silk, the way it looks, and feels.


Frequently asked questions on Janice Poplin Organic Cotton 4.0 oz/New Janice Poplin Organic Cotton 3.98 oz RTV:

What does "field-to-loom organic" mean?

It means that absolutely no chemicals were used on this cotton, from the process of farming the cotton to weaving it into a finished fabric! Many poplin fabrics are produced using Mercerized yarns, which is cotton that's been processed through an alkali bath of Sodium Hydroxide. No such treatments are used on this fully natural Poplin, and the effects of the natural yarn are visible as a subtle, homespun look.

Why do the colors have a warm tone?

As of October 31st, 2019 we have changed the fabric slightly. The fabric is now 3.98 oz and is a crisp white base color. Like our previous material, this is also 100% organic, however, color reproduction is now absolutely accurate without muting or warming the tones.

What printing method will work best on organic cotton poplin?

This fabric has a very smooth, even surface, making it perfect for almost any design, pattern, or photos. The natural yarns in this fabric create a very subtle grain that is just visible. Reactive printing infuses with the cotton to create a durable and bright effect, while pigment printing sits strongly on top like glue, creating softer tones. Reactive printing also has a higher wash allowance, so you can wash it up to 140F.

Print Guideline

  • DPI-Print Guideline Icon

    What's the best resolution to print in?

    We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change color using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.

  • DPI-Print Guideline Icon

    How will my image scale?

    When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Options’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.

  • RGB-CMYK Print Guideline Icon

    Which color model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?

    We advise providing images in the RGB color space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best color results. What does this mean? In your editing software, choose RGB as the working space and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)

  • Print-Roll Length Fabric Guide Icon

    Maximum dimensions

    For most of our fabrics there is no limit on the length of the fabric that you can order. We have a preview design window set up to 10 yds max to visualize the print, but that's not a print limit. If you'd like to order more, increase the quantity (x2 for 20 yds or x4 for 40 yds for e.g.) and then you can order as much as you'd like, with a built in automatic volume discount too. The maximum print width of each fabric can be found on the individual fabric pages or in our design interface.

  • Borders-Print Guideline Icon

    Do I need to incorporate white space within my design if I want a border or some cutting space?

    Yes, that might help you! Always incorporate any extra space or borders into your purchased fabric size. We trim squarely around fabric samples and fabric prints, leaving approximately 0.2" white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.

  • Crocking

    What is crocking and why might it occur?

    Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colors are used. It can be minimized by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.

  • organics-Print Guideline Icon

    Why do the colors appear lighter on organic fabrics?

    Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibers, reducing the color strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colors we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.

  • Transfer-Print Guideline Icon

    Do you print on fabric a customer supplies?

    Unfortunately not; we like to test meticulously so that we know what gets the best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation transfer paper to order, and if you have access to a heat press you can press your own fabrics easily.

  • Jpeg-Tiff Print Guideline Icon

    Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?

    For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colors and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.

  • Shrinkage-Print Guideline Icon

    What is the situation with material shrinkage?

    Just like many fabric printing processes, there is the potential for shrinkage. Depending on the fabric, please expect and allow between 2-8% shrinkage which you need to plan for in your dimensions. This percentage can vary from print run to print run and between fabrics, so we would advise to order a little more material than you require for your project.

  • Print-Both Sides Print Guideline Icon

    Can I print on both sides of the fabric?

    We do not offer to print on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent or have some show through. This wouldn't work with double-sided printing. This is not a service that we offer on any of our fabrics.

  • Labels-Print Guideline Icon

    Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them like you do with the normal fabric labels?

    At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now, this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.

  • Eco friendly Printing

    How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?

    With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colors and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment. Rather than roll the fabrics, or send them in a tube, we fold them before they are sent out to you. This saves over 150 tubes a week, as well as a lot of space on the delivery van. (For delicate fabrics we ensure to package appropriately).

  • Color Differences

    Why are there slight color differences between my orders?

    We work at improving our color profiles all the time. Though rare, it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight color differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such color variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.




Sizing For Hemming And Shrinkage

Hemming Options ICON

We have a full Cut & Sew service here at Contrado, and are able to hem your fabric prints for a small additional charge. We create a small one- or two-fold hem that typically uses 0.2" to 0.75" (5-20mm) of material, depending on the thickness of the fabric. So, for example, if you want a finished piece of fabric that measures 39.37" x 39.37", you will need to order a size of 39.96" x 39.96" to allow for the hem (on top of that please also allow for shrinkage of min 2%). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. You can choose to have your prints hemmed with either Black or White thread. On our silk and other light woven fabrics, one hemmed edge will be straight (vertically down the roll) and the other will be slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:

  • Light Fabrics (0.59oz-2.95oz): For silks and other light fabrics, we use 0.24" - 0.32" / 6mm-8mm in the hem (2 fold), so overall width/height will be minus 0.48"-0.56""/ 12-16mm
  • Medium Fabrics (2.98oz-5.90oz): For medium-weight fabrics that fray, we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (2 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.4" - 1.6" / 35-40mm
  • Stiff/Heavy/No-fray fabrics: we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (1 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.5" / 35-40mm

All of these measurements are approximate and can vary. Including with shrinkage, it can mean a fairly significant difference to ordered dimensions, so please plan your print accordingly. Depending on how open the weave is, our fabric can shrink anywhere from 2% to 8% with the average being 2.5%.

How Would you Like the Edge?

We have four finishing options for your fabric order: 
  • As it comes. We cut around your image, leaving a simply scissor cut, perhaps uneven white fabric border. 
  • Hem with thread. We can hem your fabric with a choice of black or white thread. Please allow 1-2 days additional production time. See below for information on how hemming affects the size of your print. We offer an overlock hem, as well as a folded hem (one or two fold depending on the fabric) however not all fabrics are suited to both hem types. If you can see both options, it means both are suitable, and you will be able to choose whichever you prefer. 
  • Cut on the line. We will cut neatly on the edge of your design. This means that if you have a border around your design we will cut around that border, if your design takes the whole space of the fabric, then we will neatly cut around the edge of that image. Please be aware, when we cut along the line, we have to cut against the grain of the fabric. This is the standard procedure for fabric cutting. This means that with some fabrics, for example, Georgette and Mulmul, which have a slight wave in them, some fraying will occur. This is unavoidable, as the cut follows the grain of the textile. 

All of our fabrics are cut manually by hand, with the utmost care and attention. If your fabric has a slightly uneven look on the edges or a touch of fraying, this does not indicate a flaw in the textile. It is not always possible to achieve a perfectly straight cut with certain fabrics, so please do bare this in mind when it comes to your design. If you have any queries or would like to know about our cutting methods in more detail, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Please note: As we make everything by hand, all sizes may vary slightly.
