| 100% cotton | Fresh chilled lamb, blood wicking, natural-fibre requirement | Lower tensile strength than synthetics |

Lamb stockinette questions
How do I choose the right lamb stockinette size?
Size follows carcass weight and conformation. Send us the weight range you process and whether carcasses hang by the legs or on a gambrel; we match laid-flat width and cut length so the tube stretches firmly without tearing. Our sizing guide explains the method.
Do you supply rolls for automated stockinette applicators?
Yes. We supply continuous rolls wound for automated wrapping lines. Tell us the machine and core requirements with your enquiry.
Is your stockinette Halal certified?
Yes. Our textiles are produced under Halal certification: no animal-derived sizing agents or prohibited substances are used, and processing aids are vegetable-based or synthetic. Certificate copies are sent with quotes on request.
How long does production and delivery take?
A full container load is typically produced in 10–14 business days from order confirmation. Transit time depends on the destination port. We ship FOB Istanbul, CIF your port or DAP your warehouse under Incoterms 2020.
Can I get free samples?
Yes. We send free sample swatches and pieces worldwide by DHL or FedEx so your team can test fit, stretch and absorption on your own line before ordering.
