Meridian by FTS
A tight core range, held in Los Angeles and dispatched in 48 hours. Decorated, relabelled and shipped as your brand — or built to your own spec in our factories.
Track record
Meridian draws on the FTS Global supply chain — the same facilities and teams that produce for these brands.
Logos are shown to describe manufacturing experience within the FTS Global group. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners; their inclusion does not imply endorsement of Meridian Blanks.
Two ways to buy
Most suppliers do one or the other. Running both means you can launch on stock this month and move the winners onto your own spec next season — without changing supplier, quality standard or account manager.
Held in Los Angeles, out the door in 48 hours.
Your block, your fabric, your spec, made in our factories.
The core range
Deliberately short. Every style is cut from the same yarn programme in the same colours, so a tee and a hoodie in Bone are the same Bone — across styles and across reorders.

Fabric & construction
Anyone can sell you a 180 gsm tee. What separates a good blank from a cheap one is what happens after the knitting — how it's washed, how it's cut, and whether the second order matches the first.
Combing removes the short fibres that cause pilling and a scratchy hand. Ringspinning twists what's left into a finer, stronger yarn.
Shrunk before you get it, not after your customer washes it. Tested to the same standard every run.
Tubular bodies are cheaper and torque in the wash. Ours are cut and sewn with a true side seam.
Taped seams stop the neckline stretching out. Self-fabric collar, not a bought-in rib.
Sleeve, bottom and neck. It's the detail that survives industrial laundering.
A tee and a hoodie in the same colour are the same colour — and still match on reorder.
Every batch is tested for colourfastness, shrinkage and restricted substances in our own laboratory in Delhi — accredited by NABL, UKAS, CPSC and ILAC. Not sent out to a queue.
Colour & size
A palette built to be lived with rather than chased — core neutrals that carry a brand for years, and a small rotation of seasonal tones. Custom colour matching to Pantone is available on the Custom program.
Size range
Decoration
Decoration happens in-house, so a decorated order doesn't hand off to a third party and lose a week. Because the print step is digital, there are no screen charges and no reason to over-order.
Full colour on finished blanks. No screens and no setup charge, so short runs stay economical.
For volume graphic runs where unit cost matters more than setup.
Computerised multi-head, plus appliqué and sequin work.
Printed at the roll before cutting — all-over patterns and engineered placements.
Names, numbers and short-run personalisation.
Produce against real orders. Test a range, keep what sells, drop the rest.
Private label
Our tearaway comes out and yours goes in. By the time it reaches your customer there is no evidence we were involved — which is the point.
Tearaway removed, your label sewn into the neck or side seam.
Printed inner neck branding in place of a label entirely.
Hangtags, poly bags, tissue, stickers — applied before it ships.
Correct fibre content, care symbols and country of origin for your market.
Your GTINs, price tickets and carton labelling to retailer spec.
Ships direct to your customer from our warehouse, on your paperwork.
Responsibility
Organic and recycled options across the core range, with transaction certificates on request — so a claim on your label is one you can actually substantiate.
Certified organic across the core tee and fleece programme.
GRS-certified recycled cotton and polyester options.
Digital print uses a fraction of the water of conventional dyeing.
Documented from fibre to finished carton, audited to BSCI and Sedex.

How it works
Tell us the categories you care about. We ship a pack of the actual garments so you can feel the weight before committing to anything.
Stock for speed, Custom for a garment that is entirely yours, or both — most brands end up running both.
Print, stitch, relabel and pack in-house. One purchase order covers the blank and everything done to it.
To you, to your 3PL, or blind-dropshipped to your customer.
Who it's for
Heavyweight, boxy, garment-dyed. 100 units to test a drop, real factory capacity when it works.
Client-ready quality, blind dropship, and one contact who answers on deadline.
Consistent colour across sites and reorders, size range to 4XL, compliance documentation included.
Stock held for you, decorated per order, shipped direct with no inventory risk.
Questions
Yes. Blanks run a 100-unit minimum per style, and cut-and-sew is 300 units per style. Sample packs sit outside that entirely — you can hold the actual garments before committing to either.
Undecorated stock leaves the warehouse within 48 hours. Add decoration and it ships in five business days. Custom production runs 45–105 days depending on region — Turkey and Morocco at the fast end, Nepal at the slow.
Yes. Blind dropship on your paperwork, with your packaging and hangtags. Nothing identifies us.
Custom colour is a Custom program build — matched to Pantone, with minimums per colour per style. If the volume works we can add it to your held allocation.
Yes. Colours are dye-lot matched across styles and across reorders, and every batch is tested in our own laboratory rather than sent to a third-party queue.
That's the first step. Tell us the categories that matter and we'll send the actual garments — weights and hand feel are impossible to judge from a screen.
What's behind it
Meridian isn't a reseller putting its name on someone else's stock. The garments come out of FTS Global — wholly owned factories, an accredited laboratory, and teams in nineteen cities that already make product for luxury houses and high-street retailers.
Weight and hand feel don't come across on a screen. Tell us what you're building and we'll put the actual garments in your hands.
