How does printing on natural fabrics work?

Natural fabrics like cotton and linen have a distinctive texture and feel that designers love — and with the right printing techniques, they can also carry beautifully detailed, lasting prints.

At Mereton, we use specialised digital processes developed specifically for natural fibre textiles, ensuring clarity, colour consistency, and durability.

Our approach preserves the natural character of the fabric while delivering strong colours and lots of detail, ideal for applications where both aesthetic and material integrity matter.

No overproduction, no excess stock, minimal waste

Sustainability is woven into every step of our process, and printing on natural fibres is no exception.

We print to order, which means no overproduction, no excess stock, and minimal waste. Our digital printing process is water-efficient and free from harsh chemicals, making it a cleaner alternative to traditional methods like screen printing or dye baths.

We also prioritise recyclable packaging and continuously seek out natural base fabrics with strong environmental credentials — including organic cotton and low-impact fibre blends. Whether you’re creating fashion, homewares or interior projects, you can feel confident knowing your fabric was printed with care for both quality and the planet.

"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."
