A hospital linen supplier that manufactures everything it sells
When a hospital, laundry or distributor searches for hospital linen suppliers, most of the names that come up are traders: they buy fabric or finished goods and resell them. International Linens is the mill. Yarn arrives at our Satiana Road unit, is woven on Sulzer looms or knitted in-house, bleached and finished in our Khurrianwala processing unit, then cut, stitched, inspected and packed for export. That is why our customers, many of them since our first export container in 2004, treat us as their hospital linen manufacturer rather than one supplier among several.
Being vertically integrated also means we can answer the questions that matter in healthcare purchasing with our own data: what thread count and weight the fabric is, how it was finished, which chemicals were used and how it behaves after repeated hot washes.

Who we supply
Unlike most hospital linen suppliers, we are a B2B manufacturer and exporter, so we work with the organisations that buy medical linens in volume rather than with individual departments:
- Healthcare linen distributors and wholesalers serving hospitals and clinics
- Hospital laundries, linen rental and healthcare laundry services
- Hospital groups, surgical centres and medical offices buying direct
- Nursing homes, care homes and long-term care operators
- Private label bedding and healthcare apparel brands
Most of our output goes to the United States and we also supply buyers in the United Kingdom, Europe and the Middle East. Whether you need wholesale hospital linens for a national distribution program or a trial quantity for a single facility, the same production lines and quality checks apply.
What medical-grade linen means in practice
There is no single legal definition of medical-grade linen, so buyers comparing medical linen suppliers rely on the supplier’s controls. Here is what we control and can document:
- Fabric construction. Thread count (T-130 to T-250), weight, weave and fibre blend are set at our own looms and knitting machines, not bought in.
- Chemical safety. Bleaching and finishing are certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I (certificate 2026OK1630, AITEX Spain), the class defined for baby articles and the strictest in the standard.
- Wash durability. Constructions and hems are chosen for tunnel washers, high-temperature cycles and bleach and we can advise on the right quality for your laundry process.
- Sizing accuracy. Cut and stitched to your specification sheet, inspected against an agreed AQL before packing.
- Management systems. ISO 9001:2015 quality system, SEDEX SMETA ethical audit and C-TPAT supply chain security assessment. Details are on our certifications page.

Frequently asked questions
How do hospitals and clinics buy medical-grade linens?
Hospitals usually buy through healthcare distributors, laundry services or group purchasing programs and those organisations source from manufacturers like International Linens. We make the bed linens, patient gowns, blankets and scrubs and export them in bulk, mainly to the United States.
Do you supply linens for both healthcare and hospitality?
Yes. Hospital linens and hotel linens are made in the same mill, so distributors serving both sectors can consolidate their programs with one manufacturer. See our hotel linens collection.
What is your minimum order quantity for hospital linens?
We work with container programs and pallet-level trial orders. Tell us the products and sizes you need and we will confirm the MOQ per item and a trial quantity for a first order.
Can you manufacture to our existing specifications and private label?
Yes. Most of our output is private label. We manufacture to your specification sheet, including dimensions, thread count, hems, colour, care labels and packing.
Which countries do you export hospital linens to?
Mainly the United States, with regular shipments to the United Kingdom, Europe and the Middle East. We ship in sealed 40-foot high-cube containers with full export documentation.
How do I verify your certifications?
Certificate numbers and issuing bodies for OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ISO 9001:2015, SEDEX SMETA and C-TPAT are published on our certifications page and the OEKO-TEX certificate can be checked in the public OEKO-TEX database.
