We're leading the way with a new standard - all of our printing now uses eco-conscious processes that put the planet first without compromising on colour, quality, or creativity. 

We call it Ecollective®, a name that reflects our commitment to sustainable innovation and the belief that real change happens when we act together. From reduced water usage to lower energy consumption, every metre printed is a step toward a cleaner future.

Everything under the Ecollective® banner, from inks to processes, meets an International environmental benchmark.

Our sublimation printing is sharper, faster, and more sustainable

As part of the Ecollective®, we’ve upgraded our sublimation printing to deliver sharper detail, richer blacks, and faster output. With built-in nozzle checks, self-cleaning, and dual ink supply switching, this system runs smoother and more reliably than ever before.

What makes it part of the Ecollective®?
It uses OEKO-TEX® Eco Passport certified inks and operates on lower energy, ensuring every print is vibrant, accurate — and kinder to the planet.

Our resin printing is detailed, durable, and planet-friendly

Our new resin printing system is engineered for décor, signage, and textile projects where sharp detail and deep colour matter.

Despite the name, Resin printing can be planet-friendly. Our setup features PrecisionCore® technology and HAPs-free, REACH-compliant, and Nordic Swan Ecolabel certified inks.

With fast turnaround times, professional finishes, and minimal environmental impact, it’s a modern solution built for both performance and responsibility.

"I’ve been printing with Mereton Textiles for ten years. Their printing is second to none and their range of fabrics is excellent. They are constantly evolving and offering new products and services, like laser cutting, which saves me time (and a sore arm!). The service & communication is always fantastic and I feel confident recommending them to anyone looking for textile printing."

GOAT WORKS
"Super happy with my first order through Mereton Textiles. I purchased the Boardie 2.0 recycled fabric and it's awesome. I'm a home sewer and was having trouble finding a decent boardshort fabric. Not any more! The fact that it's recycled from plastic bottles sealed the deal. Printing and mailing out was so quick and all my questions answered famously by the wonderful staff. Thank you! I will definitely be ordering again in the future."
Kelly Reimer
"We have been using these fabric printers for years. They are very quick at turning around a job and are willing to do small batches for us. I would recommend them if you need small quantities of printing(5meters) all the way up to multiple fabric rolls of print. The print quality is great and very affordable. The owner Joe is always happy to chat through a printing job."
