Design Choices

For design considerations, we recommend most startups to begin with our Ready Designs for their initial collection. This allows you to focus on building your brand rather than investing time and resources in design development, unless you have prior experience or a keen interest in creating your own designs. Our Ready Designs are carefully researched to align with current trends, proven to sell well, and tailored for international markets. With a wide range of options and variations, you can still achieve uniqueness in your market. Alternatively, you can also blend your own designs with ours. Feel free to draw inspiration from our designs and modify them to create new ones, if desired.

We indeed import fabrics tax and duty-free from a bonded zone in Bali.

Unfortunately, an unethical competitor of ours falsely claims to have exclusive rights to duty-free imports. In truth, several companies in Bali hold this license, and any other statements suggesting otherwise are outright lies.

It is important to exercise caution when dealing with companies that make exaggerated claims, imitate other brand names, copy website designs, or steal product ideas. Such actions involve passing off and appropriating the hard work of others. In partnering with such companies, you may find that they lack respect for your brand and the efforts you’ve invested.

All products available in the shop can only be purchased as displayed. Some product pages may offer limited customization options, such as selecting bum coverage, hardware color, or padding. These options are the only customization choices available for shop orders.

For any other modifications, such as additional fabrics/colors/prints or adjustments to designs not already displayed in the shop, customization must be requested through manual orders. These customizations are considered separate orders with their own minimum order quantities (MOQs), prices, and conditions. Shop orders cannot be combined with manual orders for MOQ or volume pricing.

Respecting the privacy and integrity of our clients is paramount to us. While we adhere to our Terms and Conditions, which ensure the confidentiality of names, designs, and other sensitive information, we proudly showcase selected reviews on our homepage and Google Maps. These reviews are voluntarily shared by clients who have experienced working with us, offering insights into their positive experiences.

With over 100 labels worldwide made yearly, our manufacturing services cater to a diverse range of clients, primarily located in North America, Australia, and Europe. Many of the brands we have assisted have started their journey with us and witnessed substantial growth over the years. In addition, we have also partnered with established brands seeking to shift their manufacturing operations to us.

At Bali Swim, we prioritize maintaining the privacy of our clients while providing exceptional manufacturing services to support their brand’s success.

Our payment terms are as follows: a 50% deposit is required upfront, and the remaining 50% is due before delivery. You have the option to make payments through PayPal, which also allows you to link your credit card. Bank transfers are also accepted.

For new clients and their first order, we require a 100% deposit. This policy applies only once for your initial order with us. When using PayPal, you benefit from Buyer Protection, providing added security to your transaction.

Our women’s and men’s collections range from XS to XL. For kids’ collections, we offer sizes starting from 2 years up to 10 years.

To assist you in finding the right fit, we provide size charts for each category:

In our Terms & Conditions we have a segment about Confidentiality (NDA) which protects your Intellectual Property (IP) such as information about you, your business and your designs. You can read our full T&C here.

No, there is no obligation to proceed with bulk production even if you sample with us. We respect your decision to determine the next steps for your brand

We work with the DXF and DGS file formats for CAD.

If you wish to order specific colors of Carvico or JL fabrics that are not currently in our stock, we will need to order full rolls. We will facilitate the purchase on your behalf, but it requires 100% pre-payment from you before the order is placed. Once the fabric is used in production, we will deduct its value from the overall production cost, essentially treating it as a pre-paid credit.

Alternatively, if you decide to save some fabric or not utilize the entire roll (e.g., 35 meters), the remaining fabric will be stored in our warehouse for future orders. When you choose to use that saved fabric in a subsequent order, we will credit the corresponding value towards the total cost of that order.

For example, let’s say you placed a total order of $10,000, and during the bulk production, we utilized your saved fabric rolls valued at $3,000. In this case, the $3,000 will be deducted from the order, resulting in a remaining balance of $7,000.

At this time, we don’t offer dropshipping services. Our location in Bali makes it challenging to economically and efficiently ship individual packages on behalf of our clients to their customers. We suggest partnering with a local dropshipping service in your market. This approach can help reduce costs and speed up delivery times, ensuring a better experience for your customers.
