In the PROWERB Lab, fabrics meet processes: flocking, transfer printing, screen printing, embroidery, direct-to-garment printing. Five processes under one roof — and series production right next door. This is where things are tested, pressed and rejected before a campaign goes into series.

Fabric, artwork and process affect one another. We therefore check colour, adhesion and feel on the intended material before the production run. Sample approval and quality checks connect the lab with production in Kleve; material-specific findings remain documented for production.
No process is the best one — each has its own application range. The decision is made on the fabric, the motif and the print run.
Mass printing of clothing is a core capability: transfer presses stand thirty in a row. Order-specific customization runs in modular cells on a goods-to-person model — repeat-accurate, for one-off campaigns as much as for permanent ranges. The order comes from the online shop straight into production; bill-of-materials and value-added processes are booked with accurate inventory records in the WMS. Between finishing and dispatch there is no change of service provider — just a hall gate.
Arizona Iced Tea regularly brings product highlights to market — flip-flops, hoodies, always in peaks. PROWERB handles the logistics for Germany and Benelux, partly sources the textiles itself, finishes them and ships via Amazon and D2C. One client, one chain: fabric, print, warehouse, package.
It starts with the fabric: weave, weight, surface. From that follows which process holds up — flock, transfer, screen, embroidery or DTG.
The motif goes onto the original material, not a substitute fabric. Touch instead of look: the decision is made on the real piece.
The run goes through the press line or the matching finishing cell — repeat-accurate from the first piece to the last.
The finished goods go straight into inventory management: bills of materials in the WMS, picking, dispatch — no break between production and logistics.
Finishing at PROWERB connects into sample building and textile ranges. These pages belong with it:
Flocking, transfer printing, screen printing, embroidery and direct-to-garment printing (DTG). The choice of process follows material, motif and print run — not the other way around.
There is no blanket quantity threshold. As a rule of thumb: screen printing plays out its strength on large series with few colors, DTG on small series and photorealistic motifs, transfer printing carries series production, embroidery lasts the longest, flocking delivers texture and opacity. The decision is made on the sample in the Lab.
Yes, where it's needed. For Arizona, PROWERB partly sources the textiles itself, finishes them and ships via Amazon and D2C — sourcing, printing and dispatch under one roof.
Finishing runs in the same system as the warehouse: orders come from the online shop straight into production; bill-of-materials and value-added processes are booked with accurate inventory records in the WMS. There is no handover point between two service providers.
