Manufacturing Programme
Fersan Tekstil is a vertically integrated polyester knitted fabric manufacturer in Çorlu, Türkiye; the school uniform programme selects fabric not for a single garment but at the scale of an academic year and a cohort.
A school uniform is bought on price, but judged nine months later. It is washed three to five times a week, often hot, and keeps that up for a full academic year. The problem that emerges is not that one garment wears out: it is that two uniforms standing side by side in the same class no longer look alike. A faded polo is immediately visible next to a new one.
So the programme targets two things at once: a surface that survives the wash cycle and a colour that holds across the cohort. Piqué and interlock give the structured stance in the body, single jersey the economical base, french terry the sweatshirt and cardigan layer, and rib the collar and cuffs. We set colour fastness to the level the school colour demands, and measure next year’s repeat order against the first year’s reference.

From yarn price, weight, width and waste, derive a fabric’s cost per kg and per metre.
Estimated — indicative value. · Not financial advice · rates are a build-time fixed estimate (1$=32.50₺ · 1€=35.00₺) — request a quote for a current/binding rate.
First cost/kg = yarn(₺/kg) × (1 + waste) + processing(₺/kg). Then cost/metre = cost/kg × (GSM × width ÷ 1000). E.g. 52.10 ₺/kg, 180 g/m², 1.5 m width → 52.10 × 0.27 = 14.07 ₺/m.
Enter waste as a percentage; the tool converts it to a decimal (5% → 0.05) and multiplies yarn cost by (1 + waste). Waste covers knitting/weaving, dyeing and finishing losses.
The processing ₺/kg field covers per-kg add-ons such as dyeing, finishing and knit/weave conversion charges; it is optional and treated as 0 if left blank.
No; the conversion is an estimated value at a build-time fixed rate (1 $ = 32.50 ₺ · 1 € = 35.00 ₺). For a binding quote with your actual prices and the current rate, send an RFQ.
We build the programme around the academic calendar: target wash count, wash temperature and the fastness expectation of the school colour are defined at the outset, and construction, dye recipe and compacting are set accordingly. The shrinkage rate that stays constant across the size run, and colour fastness, are documented with tests.
Applications: Uniform, Workwear and Corporate Wear Fabrics

Shade drift has two sources: batch-to-batch dye difference and fading in the wash. For the first we archive the reference colour and measure every batch against that same reference. For the second we target colour fastness to the school’s actual laundering practice and report wash and light fastness per order.
Polyester is naturally resistant to those conditions; what decides the outcome is the heat-setting and the residual shrinkage rate. If you tell us your target wash temperature at the outset, we set compacting and heat-setting for it and measure dimensional change under those conditions. The care label generator lets you prepare the correct wash symbols in advance.
Inputs are OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified, and that certification covers testing for substances harmful to human health, including for baby and children’s apparel. You can download the certificate from our credentials section. Non-fuzzing surface behaviour and rub fastness are reported per order.
School programmes run a wide size range in the same colour, and total meterage is driven by cohort size rather than by size. We report the shrinkage rate so that it can be applied uniformly across the whole size run; the cost calculator lets you see unit cost at cohort scale in advance.
Typical lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation to dispatch; ahead of the pre-season peak we recommend reserving capacity early. The 500–1,000 kg per colour band varies by fabric, and because the school colour has to be opened across several fabrics, planning together at the start of the season is the most efficient route.
