CREATE YOUR PERSONALISED BABY FABRICS: TERRY, MINKY AND GUARANTEED SOFTNESS

How do you create personalised fabric for babies?

To create personalised baby fabric, you simply need to choose a certified, soft material, adapt the design to the needs of little ones, and select a print that withstands repeated washing. That’s it – it really is that simple.

Today, textile personalisation goes far beyond a pretty pattern. Your creations strengthen the emotional bond between baby and their item, reassure them with familiar textures, and allow you to build a real visual identity for your brand. According to a baby care market analysis published by Market.us, nearly 63% of parents prioritise soft and comfortable materials for products in direct contact with their baby’s skin, confirming the growing importance placed on touch and textile safety.

At Tissus Print, your personalised fabrics are printed in France (Var - 83) with eco-friendly inks. The result: a safe, durable finish perfectly suited to baby sewing.

Why personalise your fabrics for babies?

Because textures really matter

Minky and terry are not just soft to the touch. They offer an enveloping feel that stimulates baby’s senses without irritating their delicate skin. A personalised minky comforter with their name quickly becomes a reassuring point of reference. Baby recognises this texture, associates it with comfort and becomes attached to it.

As a sewist, you are creating far more than a simple item: you’re creating an everyday companion.

Personalisation creates emotional anchors

When a baby finds the same pattern on their comforter, sleeping bag and blanket, it creates a comforting sense of continuity. They feel surrounded by familiar things, even when they are away from home.

For you, if you sell on your online shop, on creator marketplaces such as Etsy or at craft fairs, this is also a huge advantage: your customers recognise your world at a glance. Once they are won over, they naturally come back to you to complete the collection.

Safety first

Parents are extremely careful about what they buy for their baby. And rightly so. The personalised minky from Tissus Print is EN-71 certified, compliant with toy safety standards. This means no toxic substances, stable colours and a fabric that stands the test of time.

Our personalised terry is printed with eco-friendly inks that withstand high-temperature washing. You can proudly highlight this in your product descriptions.

Essential materials: terry and minky

Personalised terry: your everyday ally

Terry is the ultimate practical fabric. Perfect for bibs, bath capes, reusable wipes and changing mats. It absorbs well, stays soft and is easy to sew.

Why you’ll love it:

• It stands up to machine washing, even at 60°C.
• It absorbs without becoming heavy or stiff.
• Its feel stays soft and cushioned, wash after wash.

Personalised minky: the superstar of softness

Minky is the fabric all parents fall for. Ultra-soft, almost unreal to the touch, it turns any creation into a precious object. Ideal for sleeping bags, comforters, blankets and cushions.

Its velvety texture soothes baby, helps them fall asleep and, above all, it stays just as soft after 100 washes as it was on day one. The EN-71 certification allows you to reassure your customers about the product’s complete safety.

Other materials to explore

For more structured creations, our GOTS-certified cotton poplin is an ideal choice. Its crisp hand, finesse and soft feel make it particularly suitable for little blouses, tunics, lightweight tops or baby dresses that require a precise cut and neat drape, while ensuring optimal textile safety.

At Tissus Print, all these materials can be personalised to suit your ideas. You build your complete collection with a visual consistency that truly makes the difference.

How to personalise baby fabric

Choose designs that speak to babies

A good baby print is not just cute. It’s also visually stimulating: rounded shapes, gentle contrasts, small repetitive details. Babies love simple geometric patterns and soft contrasts.

You can build on this to offer creations that are also designed to support their cognitive development. It makes a real difference in your sales pitch.

Add personalised details

Name, date of birth, weight, length: these little touches turn your creation into an unforgettable keepsake. Parents often keep these pieces carefully, even once their child has grown up.

You can offer:

• Personalised birth blankets with all the information from the big day.
• Pillows with the child’s name that follow them through their early years.
• Named sleeping bags that are practical for nursery and adorable in the bedroom.

This is also a powerful argument against the competition: once a customer has a unique product with their baby’s name, they are not going to buy elsewhere.

Terry vs minky comparison

Hesitating between terry and minky? Here is a quick comparison to help you decide:

Both materials are complementary. You can even combine them in the same collection to offer your customers a complete range.

What you can sew: sleeping bag, bib, comforter...

The personalised sleeping bag

This is the flagship piece of baby care. Used every night and appearing in countless sleeping baby photos, it ensures optimal thermal comfort. With personalised fabric, you create a unique sleeping bag that matches the room decor.

Whether online or at markets, personalised sleeping bags sell extremely well. It’s a product with high perceived value.

The personalised photo bodysuit

The personalised photo bodysuit is a big hit as a newborn gift. You can print a photo, message or drawing... High-definition DTF printing on cotton jersey delivers a perfect result that lasts over time.

Many sewists make it a flagship product in their online shop. At Tissus Print, the bodysuit is supplied already sewn, and the DTF print is applied directly in-house for a clean, durable and ready-to-sell finish as soon as you receive it.

Everyday essentials

Bibs, reusable wipes, bath capes: these are items parents use several times a day. With personalised terry, you offer them something beautiful, durable and practical.

These creations withstand daily high-temperature washing. Your customers can use them intensively without seeing the quality deteriorate.

The personalised comforter

The comforter is the object baby will drag around everywhere for years. They chew it, cuddle it, and sleep with it. A personalised minky comforter with a lovely design and their name becomes THE must-have companion.

And for you, it’s a product that often generates word of mouth: parents love to show off their children’s unique comforters.
