Manufacturing Programme
Fersan Tekstil is a vertically integrated polyester knitted fabric manufacturer in Çorlu, Türkiye; the polo programme treats body and collar as separate components, because what usually ends a polo is not the body but the collar.
The life of a polo shirt is not decided by its body fabric. The body will often last for years; what makes a wearer retire the shirt is a collar that has gone wavy, an edge that curls, or a placket that no longer sits flat. A polo is therefore built from at least two components rather than one fabric: the piqué family in the body and the rib family in the collar. They are different knits, they behave differently, and they need to be set differently.
The programme carries that distinction into production. In the body, plain piqué gives the classic stance, elastane piqué gives freedom of movement in a slim fit, mini piqué offers a finer cell and a more closed surface, and jacquard piqué brings a motif knitted into the cloth. In collar and cuffs, rib carries the lateral recovery. When body and collar are dyed in the same bath, the shade-difference problem disappears at source — the most tangible benefit of vertical integration in a polo.

Give a HEX or RGB colour and it returns the closest colour from Fersan’s in-house dye library by ΔE2000, plus a closeness score.
Estimated — indicative value. · On-screen estimate · binding match via lab-dip. No Pantone TCX embedded.
The HEX code is converted to RGB, then to CIELAB under the D65 white point. The ΔE2000 difference is computed against every colour in the Fersan dye library, and the dye with the lowest ΔE is returned as the closest equivalent. The result is a screen-based estimate; it is confirmed by a lab-dip before production.
ΔE is a metric that expresses the total difference between two colours as a single number. In CIELAB space the differences on the lightness (L*), red-green (a*) and yellow-blue (b*) axes are combined. The closer to zero, the more identical the colours. This tool uses ΔE2000 (CIEDE2000), which correlates best with human perception.
Common guidance: ΔE ≤ 1.0 is imperceptible to the eye, ΔE 1-2 is very close, and ΔE 2-3.5 is commercially acceptable. The exact limit depends on the colour, end use and customer standard — each brand sets its own tolerance.
No. Pantone TCX values are proprietary and are not embedded in this tool. Matching is done only against Fersan’s in-house, curated dye library. Share your Pantone reference and we will hit it at the physical lab-dip stage.
We build the polo component by component: the shrinkage behaviour of the body piqué and the collar rib are set relative to one another, because otherwise the collar shrinks differently from the body at the first wash and the stance is lost. On corporate programmes we measure batch-to-batch colour difference and report repeat orders against the same reference.
Applications: Uniform, Workwear and Corporate Wear Fabrics

Largely yes, but the collar fabric rather than the body fabric. If the collar rib has insufficient lateral recovery, or its heat-setting was set differently from the body, the collar lengthens a little with every wash and begins to ripple. We set the shrinkage behaviour of collar and body relative to one another and report dimensional change separately for each.
Piqué and rib are different knits and can take the same dye to slightly different shades. The remedy is to dye them in the same bath; because knitting and dyeing sit under one roof, we write that into the production plan from the start. Any residual difference is measured in the lab and the acceptance limit is stated in your quotation.
In corporate wear the real difficulty is not the first delivery but the repeat order two years later. We archive the reference colour as a lab dip and measure every repeat against that same reference, reporting the deviation. The colour matcher tool lets you see the closest reference to your brand colour in advance.
On the fabric side shrinkage is constant per square metre; differences between sizes come from the pattern and cutting allowance. We set compacting against your target wash count and report the residual shrinkage rate, so the garment maker can apply that rate to the pattern uniformly across all sizes.
The 500–1,000 kg per colour band applies separately to body and collar fabric; on corporate programmes a small set of fixed colours usually becomes a year-round running programme, which uses that band efficiently. Typical lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation to dispatch.
