Textile manufacturing

Every step under one roof

Vertically integrated

From yarn to sealed container, under our own control

Most linen suppliers buy fabric and stitch it. We weave and knit our own greige, bleach and finish it in our own processing unit, then cut, stitch, inspect and pack it in our textile manufacturing units in Faisalabad, Pakistan. The result is the healthcare linens and hospitality linens in our catalogue. One team owns quality, cost and lead time end to end.

Weaving at International Linens
Step 01

Weaving

Our weaving division runs modern Sulzer looms, producing tightly woven fabrics that combine strength with a smooth finish. From hospital bed linens to hotel-grade sheeting, every fabric is engineered for durability under repeated commercial washing.

Step 02

Knitting

Advanced knitting machines produce flexible, breathable, soft fabrics for specialised needs, especially hospital stretch-fitted sheets and apparel. Knitting gives the elasticity and comfort woven fabric cannot.

Step 03

Processing

Quality is also in how fabric is treated. Our processing unit bleaches and finishes every lot so it is hygienic, bright and safe for institutional use, under an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified process.

  • Washing: greige fabric is washed to remove impurities
  • Drying: controlled drying keeps integrity and softness
  • Singeing: surface fibres removed for a smoother hand
  • Bleaching: consistent whiteness and purity for medical and hospitality use
Step 04

Stitching

Our stitching department brings everything together. Precision tailoring and strict in-line checks turn fabric into ready-to-use linens: bed sheets, blankets, gowns and restaurant textiles, each inspected before packing.

Manufacturing questions

What buyers ask about how we make linens

Where are International Linens products manufactured?

In Faisalabad, Pakistan, in two units run by International Linens: the Satiana Road site (yarn and greige warehouse, weaving, knitting, cutting, stitching, packing and export team) and the Khurrianwala unit (bleaching and finishing). Nothing in the core process is outsourced.

Does International Linens weave and knit its own fabric?

Yes. Woven greige for sheets, pillowcases and table linens is produced on our own Sulzer looms, and knitted fabric for stretch fitted sheets and apparel is produced by our knitting division. Both feed our own processing unit.

How are finished linens packed and shipped?

After final AQL inspection, goods are packed to the buyer’s carton, bale or roll specification with their labels, loaded into 40-foot high-cube containers under a documented sealing procedure, and shipped with export documents prepared for the destination market. Most volume goes to the United States.
