Manufacturing Programme

Training Wear Fabric Manufacturer

Fersan Tekstil is a vertically integrated polyester knitted fabric manufacturer in Çorlu, Türkiye; the training programme builds not a single fabric but a set of complementary layers.

Training wear is not one garment but three thermal states in sequence. During the warm-up the body is cold and heat output is low; in the main set output peaks and sweating starts; in the cool-down output stops but the garment is wet — the moment when chilling happens fastest. No single fabric can serve all three, because the insulation you want during the warm-up becomes a burden during the cool-down.

So the programme is built as a layer set. Three-thread fleece and brushed french terry form the body of the warm-up top and the tracksuit; brushing takes its insulation not from the yarn but from the air held at the surface. Micro fleece insulates as a thin mid-layer without adding bulk; double-face fleece gives both insulation and surface durability in the outer layer; and interlock jersey is the next-to-skin base for the main set. We decide brushed versus unbrushed together, according to where the fabric will sit.

Structures we manufacture for training layers

Three-thread Fleece (polyester)

Three-thread fleece

280–380 g/m²

In this application
The body of the warm-up top and the tracksuit — a three-thread structure giving substance and drape without bulk.
Composition
Polyester-led (ground + fleece + binder). Three-thread is classically cotton/cotton-PES (CVC); the 100% polyester version exists but is less common.

Brushed (Fleece-Backed) Polyester French Terry

Brushed-back French terry

240–360 g/m²

In this application
A brushed inner face that takes insulation from trapped air rather than from the yarn; soft against the skin.
Composition
100% polyester; the thick loop yarn on the reverse is brushed/napped. Cotton-PES brushed terry is also common.

Microfleece

Microfleece

100–200 g/m²

In this application
The thin mid-layer: insulates without adding bulk and slips easily under an outer layer.
Composition
100% polyester; finer (micro) filament/yarn than standard fleece.

Double-Faced (Double-Brushed) Fleece

Double-faced fleece

200–320 g/m²

In this application
Double-face insulation and surface durability in the outer layer — the shell of cold-weather training.
Composition
100% polyester.

Interlock (Double-Knit Polyester)

Interlock (double-knit)

160–250 g/m²

In this application
The next-to-skin base for the main set: dry hand, even surface, a face that will not chafe under layers.
Composition
100% polyester double-knit; cotton and elastane blends also exist.

Formula

ESTIMATED — simple stacking. Container interior volume (m³) = length × width × height. 20' = 5.90 × 2.35 × 2.39 ≈ 33.14 m³ · payload limit 28,200 kg. 40' = 12.03 × 2.35 × 2.39 ≈ 67.57 m³ · payload limit 26,600 kg. 40' HC = 12.03 × 2.35 × 2.69 ≈ 76.04 m³ · payload limit 26,500 kg. Box volume (m³) = (length_cm ÷ 100) × (width_cm ÷ 100) × (height_cm ÷ 100). By volume = floor(container_volume ÷ box_volume) · By weight = floor(payload_limit ÷ box_kg) · Count = the smaller of the two. Fill % = count × box_volume ÷ container_volume (gapless theoretical upper bound).

Worked example

60 × 40 × 30 cm, 20 kg carton, 40' container. Box volume = 0.6 × 0.4 × 0.3 = 0.072 m³. By volume = floor(67.57 ÷ 0.072) = 938 · By weight = floor(26,600 ÷ 20) = 1,330. Count = min(938, 1,330) = 938 (volume is the limit). Load = 938 × 20 = 18,760 kg. Fill ≈ 100% (theoretical). Real stowage drops this because of pallet gaps and orientation.

Estimated — indicative value.

Frequently asked questions

How many rolls fit in a 40' container?

It depends on the roll/carton size and weight. A 40' container offers ≈ 67.57 m³ and a 26,600 kg payload limit; the tool divides those by your box volume and weight, then takes the smaller. For a 0.072 m³, 20 kg carton that is an estimated 938 units.

What is the difference between a 20' and a 40'?

A 20' container carries ≈ 33.14 m³ / 28,200 kg, a 40' ≈ 67.57 m³ / 26,600 kg. The 40' gives roughly double the volume but a similar payload limit — so for heavy cartons the binding limit is often weight, not volume.

Why choose a 40' HC?

A 40' HC (High Cube) is 30 cm taller than a standard 40' (2.69 m interior height), giving ≈ 76.04 m³. It is preferred for light but bulky fabric rolls because it allows one more stacking layer.

Why is the result estimated?

The calculation assumes simple stacking; actual loading varies with pallet size, carton orientation, stacking pattern and door clearance. Contact us for an exact load plan and shipping quote.

Your fabric development partner

We build the layer set with you: the thermal range each layer targets is defined, and brush depth and surface hand are set accordingly. Because post-wash fuzzing and dimensional change are critical in brushed structures, we set compacting against your target wash count and report the outcome with tests.

Frequently asked questions

Should we choose brushed or unbrushed?

It depends on where the fabric sits in the layer order. Brushing insulates by trapping air at the surface, which is what you want in warm-up and cool-down layers. In the next-to-skin layer of the main set, that same air space means weight and slower drying once it wets out — there, an unbrushed structure is the right call.

Brushed fabrics fuzz in the wash — how do you control that?

Fuzzing is the joint outcome of brush depth, yarn selection and heat-setting. Keeping the brush as shallow as it can be while still giving the hand you want extends life appreciably. We define your target wash count at the outset and report fuzzing and pilling at that count.

Should the top and bottom of a tracksuit use the same fabric?

Not necessarily, and often not ideally. The top prioritises bulk and insulation; the bottom prioritises freedom of movement and dimensional stability at the knee. Running two different structures from the same dye bath does not break the suit look; we verify the shade match with a lab dip.

Which layer combination do you recommend for cold-weather training?

The typical build is a thin unbrushed base next to the skin, a light insulation layer over it, and a wind-blocking shell outermost. On the fabric side we supply the first two layers; where the shell needs a woven or a lamination we say so up front and state plainly what falls outside our scope.

How is ordering planned for a layered collection?

The 500–1,000 kg per colour band applies to each fabric separately, which in a layered set means opening the same colour across several fabrics. The most efficient route is to go deep on a limited palette. Sampling begins after a short technical consultation.
