Table linen & kitchen textiles · Karur

Table Linen & Kitchen Textile Manufacturers in India

Table and kitchen linen is a core strength of India's home textile industry, with Karur in Tamil Nadu among the best-known centres for tablecloths, napkins, runners, tea towels and aprons. Mills there combine weaving, processing and stitching for coordinated ranges.

Kitchen textiles are washed often and hard. We specify fabric, colour fastness and shrinkage for repeated laundering, and coordinate sets so prints and colours match across every piece.

Table linen specification essentials

Construction
Plain, yarn-dyed check, dobby, jacquard or waffle — each suits different products and price points.
Fabric weight
GSM to suit the product: heavier for tea towels and aprons, lighter for napkins.
Absorbency
Important for tea towels; cotton and waffle weaves absorb best.
Colour fastness
Repeated washing demands good fastness, especially for yarn-dyed and printed reds.
Shrinkage
Pre-shrinking and limits keep tablecloths true to size.
Heat protection
Oven gloves and pot holders need heat-resistance specification and testing where claimed.

What we inspect before shipment

Fabric weight and constructionShrinkage after washingColour fastness to washingFinished sizes and hem qualityPrint alignment across set piecesPacking and set completeness

Inspection follows our five checkpoints — factory audit, pre-production, during production, pre-shipment and loading — against the sealed golden sample. See quality control in India.

Minimums, sampling & private label

Yarn-dyed and woven designs depend on warp setup, so minimums are set per design and colourway. Printed designs on base fabrics often allow lower quantities.

Every programme can be produced under your own brand, with your labels and packaging. Read about private label manufacturing in India.
