Engineered & Placement Print Development
Prints that fit the pattern — not the other way around
Precision is the new luxury.
At Print Zombies, we take print placement beyond repetition.
Our Engineered & Placement Print Development service allows you to design prints that follow the garment’s flow — not fight it. Each motif, curve, and color is positioned intentionally to complement your pattern, silhouette, and creative story.
From عبايات (abayas) and قفاطين (kaftans) to couture gowns and jackets, engineered prints transform fabric into sculpture. They’re not just designs — they’re pattern architecture.
This service is especially valued by brands working out of Dubai Design District (d3), Sharjah, Doha, and Riyadh, where designers craft statement collections for Ramadan, Eid, and Dubai Fashion Season. Whether for editorial couture or ready-to-wear precision, our team ensures your print aligns perfectly — visually and technically.
Step 1 – Share Your Pattern
Send us your garment pattern (digital or physical). We analyze panel shapes, grainlines, and stitch flow to understand the print’s true canvas.
Step 1B – Ask Our Expert Textile Designer to Create Your Artwork
Need a concept from scratch? Our textile designers develop original artwork that suits your pattern’s architecture — motifs that highlight necklines, sleeves, or hems with balanced rhythm and proportion.
Step 2 – Map Your Design
We digitally overlay the print onto your pattern, aligning scale, focal points, and seams. You’ll receive a visual draft showing how the artwork interacts with the garment structure.
Step 3 – Simulate or Sample
Choose between a digital mock-up or a Print Art 3D simulation, which renders your garment virtually. This step helps you preview exact motif positions before printing.
Step 4 – Print & Perfect
Once approved, the artwork is processed for precision printing. Each meter is calibrated for alignment and color consistency. Our minimum print length is 2 meters, ideal for sampling or panel-based couture layouts.
Step 5 – Repeat or Re-Engineer | كرر أو أعد التصميم
Reorder your design anytime — in a new colorway, on a new fabric, or with adjusted placement for alternate silhouettes. Build an entire capsule from one engineered foundation.
Seam-Perfect Precision: Each motif flows across panels with millimeter alignment.
Designer-Led Collaboration: Work directly with our surface and pattern experts.

Studios that want to merge digital precision with human craft.
Do I need to send my garment pattern?
Yes — we require digital or paper patterns (Flat photos) to map each motif accurately to your panels.
Can you help if I only have a sketch or rough idea?
Definitely. Our design team can convert your sketch into a mapped digital layout.
What is the minimum length you can print?
We print from 2 meters onwards, perfect for sampling, fitting trials, or couture pieces.
Can you engineer prints for stretch or flowy fabrics?
Yes — we factor in drape and stretch tolerance when preparing placement templates.
Can the same design be re-colored for different looks?
Absolutely. You can recreate the same print across multiple fabrics, tones, or pattern variations.
Can I request editable design or CAD files after development?
Editable master files are not shared, since they remain the intellectual property of Print Zombies®. Clients receive the approved, print-ready output for production and usage under the agreed project terms — similar to a rental or license arrangement, not an ownership transfer.
