We specialize in the manufacture of knitted fabrics, taking into consideration quality, production capacity, and solutions that will satisfy the needs of the modern apparel and textile industry.
The fabrics manufactured at PI Cottex come in diverse knitted forms, among which Single Jersey is one of the most popular fabrics used in the production of various garments. PI Cottex is a well-known fabric manufacturer in Ludhiana, Punjab. We manufacture our textiles using knitting, dyeing, printing, finishing, R&D, and quality assurance under one roof. This ensures that we can have more control over the different steps of the process and deliver fabric solutions to our clients across India and the world.
Single Jersey is a lightweight knit fabric that is made with a single needle system. This construction makes the fabric have a smooth face and a comparatively rough back, as well as natural elasticity.
This fabric is popular owing to its comfortable hand, breathability, versatility, and easy handling in manufacturing garments. The yarn composition, GSM, knitting conditions, color, and finishes of the Single Jersey make it possible to produce this fabric for different needs.
We manufacture different versions of Single Jersey fabric depending on the composition and specifications, such as cotton and blended fabric. We can manufacture various types of knit constructions, but at the same time keeping quality in mind.
The way in which we manufacture our fabric starts with the understanding of the technicalities of the end product. These include fibre type, yarn count, GSM, width, color, construction, and finishing, and these can affect the properties of Single Jersey fabric. Our fully integrated manufacturing facility involves:







The advantage of integrating several processes is that we are able to manage our manufacturing process more effectively.
We have 55 units of circular knitting machines with a manufacturing capability of over 450 tonnes of Grey Fabric per month. Our knitting machinery spans gauges of 18 GG to 32 GG, while our fabric width span varies between 60 and 100 inches. Our knitting machinery brands include Fukuhara, Mayer & Cie, and Jiunn Long.
Single Jersey is highly appreciated for its versatility, as it is applicable in many different types of apparel. The lightweight nature of the material, together with the comfortable texture, makes it ideal for apparel that requires flexibility and comfort.
Single Jersey can be applied to produce the following items, based on the composition and specifications of the fabric:







The fiber content in Single Jersey plays a significant part in defining its texture, look, durability, elasticity, and overall performance. The cotton variant of Single Jersey is highly popular for its comfortable nature; however, other blended versions may add more functional benefits.
We have a range of knitted fabrics, which consist of cotton, cotton/polyester blends, polyester, viscose, modal, Lycra/Spandex blends, and many others. In this way, we can produce knitted fabrics according to our customers’ needs.
In cases where the material needs to be elastic, Lycra/Spandex can also be included in our knitted fabric structures. In such a way, Single Jersey along with other knitted fabrics can be produced in flexible versions.
Color Consistency plays a key role in the process of fabric manufacturing, particularly where fabrics have been manufactured to make garments that will be ordered in bulk. Our state-of-the-art dyeing facility helps us handle the changeover from knit fabric to processed fabric.
Computer-aided color prediction and shade matching facilities help us to facilitate color development and duplication. The dyeing equipment in use by us can handle various batch sizes, which may range from around 20 kgs to 1,200 kgs.
Our dyeing capacity is 500 tonnes per month.
Apart from the knitting and dyeing machines, our manufacturing process consists of fabric printing and finishing plants as well. The process of printing can be adopted for decorating certain knitted fabrics with different patterns as required by customers.
The processes that are carried out in the finishing plant include stentering, compacting, raising, brushing, washing, and tubular finishing. Each of the processes affects the properties of the fabric in terms of finish, dimension, surface texture, and hand feel.
The capacity of our finishing plant is 550 tonnes per month.
This is because we know that it is very important for clothing manufacturers and textile companies to have uniformity in fabric in terms of GSM, width, color, construction, shrinkage, and finishing, as it influences the end product.
That is why we have made quality control a part of our manufacturing process. The laboratory and research & development department facilitate fabric testing, color matching, product development, and quality checks.
The research and development laboratory works round-the-clock, whereas fabric testing machinery aids in assessing the fabrics based on defined quality criteria. There are also some internal quality-control measures that we use to check the fabric during its manufacturing and processing.
As a manufacturer, we not only concentrate on making fabric but also try to ensure that our manufacturing partnerships last for the long term through a combination of technological skills, diversified products, a quality control system, and integrated processes.
