When lace production is fragmented across third-party punchers, freelance dyers, and outsourced finishing plants, repeats warp and shades drift. At Allahwala Impex, every phase—from initial vector digitizing to computerized stenter curing—is performed under one roof in Karachi. This complete vertical custody guarantees mathematical stitch alignment, shade continuity, and reliable export schedules.
Direct highway connection (M-9) to Karachi Port (KPT) and Port Qasim for containerized ocean dispatch, and Jinnah International for airfreight samples.
We do not outsource critical transitions. By maintaining closed-loop custody between digitizers, machine operators, dye masters, and inspection foremen, our floor eliminates the finger-pointing that plagues traditional apparel sourcing.
Every bespoke trim begins with custom CAD vectorization. Our master punchers calculate stitch path optimization, density balancing, and stitch pull-compensation specific to the base ground fabric (cotton lawn, organza, chemical water-soluble paper, or polyester tulle).
Physical strike-off swatches are produced on dedicated sampling frames within 48 to 72 hours. Our dye laboratory utilizes spectrophotometer color matching calibrated against Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors (TCX & TPX) and physical client swatch swatches under D65, TL84, and A light booths.
Massive double-tier Schiffli embroidery frames operate with synchronized shuttle banks over continuous fabric widths up to 15 yards. Individual electronic thread tension monitors prevent uneven shrinkage and needle breakage, ensuring unblemished pattern repeat across 50,000+ metre production runs.
For freestanding Guipure (GPO) lace, embroidered rolls enter our specialized chemical extraction vats. The water-soluble backing substrate is systematically extracted without compromising the tensile strength or sheen of the core embroidery yarn. Automated laser and ultrasonic edge cutters create crisp, fray-free scallops.
Lace is dyed in controlled-temperature liquor vats using OEKO-TEX compliant reactive and disperse dyes. After color lock, goods pass through a multi-chamber heated stenter frame with pin-feed width control to prevent dimensional distortion, heat-set fibers, and apply customized hand-feel finishes (silicone soft, crisp resin, or natural dull).
100% of finished lace is inspected under high-CRI tabletop inspection bridges using the standard 4-point defect grading system. Every meter is checked for needle drops, shade banding, or broken bridges before being rolled on hardboard cores or double-bolt folded. Goods are hermetically sealed in heavy-gauge poly moisture barriers and packed in heavy corrugated export cartons.
Established in 1997, Allahwala Impex bridges the heritage of artisanal Pakistani needlecraft with modern industrial discipline. Here is how we safeguard your supply chain.
Founded and actively steered by Mr. Muhammad Usman Allahwala. When your production schedule is on the line, you speak directly with executives on the factory floor—not an aloof agency account manager.
Our mill is located in S.I.T.E-II Super Highway Industrial Area, directly off the M-9 Motorway. Containers move seamlessly to Karachi Port (KPT) and Port Qasim without city transit congestion.
All dyes, dissolution agents, and finishing softeners comply with international restricted substance lists (RSL). Zero banned AZO compounds, heavy metals, or toxic formaldehyde residues.
We accommodate luxury bridal ateliers requiring limited 300-metre capsules alongside high-street fast fashion retailers ordering 150,000 metres for nationwide or international seasonal drops.
Different sectors demand different yarn counts, hand feel rigidity, and packaging specifications. Our technical engineering team customizes the production envelope for each industry.
Fast-turnaround collar trims, sleeve cuffs, scalloped hems, and embroidered tape designed to withstand industrial garment washing and commercial retail pricing.
Intricate Schiffli front panels, luxury embroidered organza dupattas, schiffli borer eyelets, and botanical lace borders for Eid, festive, and prêt-à-porter collections.
Heavy corded guipure (GPO), cordonnet outlines, metallic thread accents (gold/silver lurex), and three-dimensional freestanding lace appliques with heirloom hand feel.
Wide-width embroidered curtain valances, table runner borders, linen edging, and decorative pillow borders engineered for high tensile stability and UV light resistance.
FOB or CIF containerized shipments for multinational sourcing offices across Europe, the UK, the Middle East, and North America with complete customs documentation.
Everything you need to know about initiating a sampling run, MOQs, production lead times, and export commercial arrangements.
Our baseline bulk MOQ for custom-developed trims and laces typically starts at 500 to 1,000 metres per design and colorway, depending on width, stitch density, and substrate construction.
For seasonal fashion capsules or domestic designer launches, we offer pilot runs of 300 metres with slight setup amortizations. For high-volume commodity programs, our Schiffli line easily scales to 100,000+ metres with competitive tiered volume discounts.
Production velocity is split into two straightforward stages:
A nominal CAD digitizing and sampling strike-off fee is charged for original custom artwork to cover machine setup and yarn threading.
100% Rebate Policy: Once the design moves forward into bulk production meeting our MOQ threshold, the initial sampling and punching fees are credited back fully against the bulk invoice. Catalog designs from our existing archive incur zero sampling development charges.
We accommodate standard global textile trade instruments:
Yes. Our in-house dye house uses computer-formulated recipe software paired with a Datacolor spectrophotometer. We match Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors codes (TCX cotton and TPX paper) with an exactness tolerance of ΔE ≤ 0.8.
All dyed lots undergo standard wash-fastness (ISO 105-C06), dry/wet rub fastness (ISO 105-X12), and light fastness testing before dispatch, maintaining Grade 4 to 5 standards suitable for international retail distribution.
Our Schiffli machines and multi-head frames handle a diverse matrix of substrates:
Send us your sketches, physical swatches, or tech pack specifications. Our technical punching and sampling team will review stitch feasibility, estimate yardage yield, and return an itemized quote within 24 hours.
