Surajmal Shobhachand handles knitwear, woven garments, fabrics and yarns for mixed-category and repeat seasonal ranges.

Production through India or Bangladesh is assessed against the product, quantity, certification and delivery brief.

Approve for each destination.
A collection brief needs a delivery date as well as an approved look. Surajmal Shobhachand plans sampling against your selling window and checks the physical label for each destination before bulk.
A printed dress for a seasonal range
Define the collection reference
Share the silhouette, fabric weight, print scale, colour references and size chart alongside your required arrival date.
Review fabric and finished sample
Approve the print placement, drape, lining where specified and finished measurements together.
Approve care and destination artwork
Set care instructions against the agreed garment evidence and review the Australian and New Zealand label versions.
Plan delivery and repeat colours
Confirm quantities, packing and any repeat colourways before agreeing production and shipping scope at quotation.
Labelling & regulatory guidance
Care, fibre and origin details checked on the garment.
A combined programme is possible, but the label is checked against each destination before bulk. We prepare the following controls and hand over the agreed evidence with the order.
Combined care artwork
We design legible English care instructions for both markets. Australia also permits ISO 3758:2012 symbols, but symbols alone do not cover New Zealand.[1][2]
New Zealand garment fields
For most new clothing, we include the required fibre content and country of origin alongside the English care instructions.[2][3]
Australian origin marking
We prepare an accurate English country-of-origin trade description. Fibre composition is added where your specification requires it.[4]
Technical basis
Relevant material and garment evidence, including wash, shrinkage and colourfastness testing where needed, supports the care advice.[1][2]
Approval and handover
Physical labels, measurements, finish and packing are approved before bulk, then checked inline and before shipment to your agreed AQL.

Common Questions
Before you place an order.
Can one production programme serve Australia and New Zealand?
Yes. We plan the range together, then check the garment labels separately for Australia and New Zealand before bulk.
Can one care label work in both countries?
Yes. A combined label can use legible English instructions that satisfy both regimes. Symbols-only Australian artwork does not cover New Zealand.[1][2]
What changes for garments sold in New Zealand?
New Zealand requires legible English care instructions and, for most new clothing, garment-level fibre content and country of origin. We include these in the artwork approval.[2][3]
Is fibre content required on Australian clothing?
No. Australia does not impose a general federal mandatory fibre-content label for clothing. We include composition where your specification requires it.
What order sizes do you work with?
We work across a wide range, from small and emerging brands to the largest global retailers. Minimums are set per style and confirmed at enquiry.
