What is lab dip?

A lab dip is a sample of fabric dyed to match a specific color or shade, often used in the textile and fashion industries. It is created by dyeing a small swatch of material to ensure it meets the desired color specifications before bulk production. Lab dips are crucial for quality control, as they help designers and manufacturers verify that the final product will align with their color expectations. The approval of a lab dip typically precedes the larger dyeing process to minimize discrepancies in color.
