Why stockinette
Why buyers switch to stockinette
- Less shrink. A tight-fitting cover reduces surface dehydration, so more of the weight you paid for reaches the customer.
- Cleaner meat. A physical barrier against dust, insects and handling marks from the kill floor to the cutting room.
- Better shape. Even pressure keeps fat cover smooth and carcasses compact for loading and display.
- Blood wicking. Cotton draws surface moisture and blood away from the meat for a cleaner finish.

Questions buyers ask first
What is meat stockinette?
Meat stockinette is a stretchy, tubular knitted fabric – usually cotton, polyester or a poly-cotton blend – that is pulled over a carcass or cut of meat. It protects the surface from dust, insects and handling contamination, reduces surface drying and weight loss in the chiller, and helps the carcass keep a clean, compact shape for transport and display.
Cotton or polyester stockinette: which should I choose?
Choose 100% cotton when absorbency and a natural fibre matter (fresh lamb and beef, blood and moisture wicking). Choose polyester or a poly-cotton blend when you need higher tensile strength, less lint and better performance in frozen storage or long export routes. Many buyers use poly-cotton as the balanced option.
What is your minimum order quantity?
We quote every order individually because width, material and format change the economics. Send us your carcass type and expected monthly volume and we will confirm the minimum for that specification in our quote, usually within 24 hours. Samples are free.
How long does production and delivery take?
A full container load is typically produced in 10–14 business days from order confirmation. Transit time depends on the destination port. We ship FOB Istanbul, CIF your port or DAP your warehouse under Incoterms 2020.
Is your stockinette Halal certified?
Yes. Our textiles are produced under Halal certification: no animal-derived sizing agents or prohibited substances are used, and processing aids are vegetable-based or synthetic. Certificate copies are sent with quotes on request.
Can I get free samples?
Yes. We send free sample swatches and pieces worldwide by DHL or FedEx so your team can test fit, stretch and absorption on your own line before ordering.
