Product Overview
What This Block Is And Why It Exists
Cotton is the absorbent, low cost base of the panty range. Adding a mesh or net panel gives ventilation and a visible design line without adding trim cost the way lace does.
This is a volume block. It grades cleanly, it takes print well, and it holds a price point that works for supermarket and chain retail programmes.
Mesh panel placement is specified in the tech pack, since it defines both the look and the pattern.
Key Benefits
- Cotton spandex base with good absorbency at a low cost point.
- Mesh or net panel gives a design line without lace pricing.
- Takes placement and all over print cleanly.
- Grades reliably across a full size run.
Application Scenarios
Where This Block Is Used
- Supermarket and chain multipacks
- Everyday basics ranges
- Teen and young adult ranges
- Online repeat purchase programmes
Who It Is For
- Buyers who need volume, not embellishment.
- Retailers running two, three and five packs.
- Brands needing a breathable summer block.
- Anyone whose price point cannot carry lace.
Problems It Solves
- Lace pricing pushes a basics programme out of its target retail price.
- Mesh panels vary in stretch, and a mismatched mesh distorts the pattern.
- Multipack colour cards get approved on screen and land wrong.
- Cotton weight is quoted without the composition, so recovery is unpredictable.

Materials
Fabric Platform
All blocks run on the same fabric platform, which is what lets a mixed range share one lab dip round and one colour card. Colour is approved on physical lab dips, fabric swatches and print strike offs.
Colour card and Pantone references used at lab dip approval.
| 95% cotton / 5% spandex | The default for briefs, trunks and boxer briefs. Soft hand feel, good recovery, easy to print and dye. |
|---|---|
| 95% modal / 5% spandex | Cooler and more fluid than cotton. Popular for womens panties and premium mens ranges. |
| 95% bamboo / 5% spandex | Marketed as a sustainable option with a very smooth surface and good moisture handling. |
| 90% nylon / 10% spandex | Higher stretch and recovery. Used for seamless bonded styles and sport ranges. |
| 95% polyester / 5% spandex | The base for sublimation printing, which needs a polyester rich surface to hold the ink. |
| Merino wool blends | Available for bra and base layer programmes where thermal performance is required. |
