Stage Guide · Greige vs PFD vs RFD · Mill PO Wording
Three abbreviations decide who owns wet preparation and what the next plant receives. This page maps greige, PFD, and RFD to PO fields—then routes each stage to its term page and to mill stock.
Stage comparison at a glance. Exact numbers belong on the PO—preparation scope, tests, and after-preparation dimensions.
| Parameter | Range / Note |
|---|---|
| Greige | Loom-state · sizing/oils may remain · scour/bleach next |
| PFD | Prepared for dyeing · scoured, usually bleached · dye/print next |
| RFD | Ready for dyeing · trade synonym · same tests as PFD |
| PFP | Prepared for printing · print-route preparation |
| Next approval | Lab dip (solids) · strike-off (prints) |
| Greige stock | 160–330 cm · 55–120 GSM · no MOQ stock / 5,000 m custom |
Wet process moves width and GSM. Freeze after-preparation numbers and confirm tests with the dye house.
Your finisher controls all wet preparation—or you want mill greige as a flexible base, stock or custom.
The next plant must dye or print soon and cannot run full greige preparation.

02We confirm stock greige or a sample path before you lock color, print, or finishing MOQs.
03Mill-side response on feasibility, MOQ tier, and next steps—not a generic catalog email.
Greige is loom-state cloth with sizing and oils still on. PFD is scoured and usually bleached so dye takes evenly. RFD is the trade synonym most mills use interchangeably with PFD when tests are written. The letters never substitute for preparation steps, whiteness, absorbency, pH, residuals, and the next dye or print route.
Unfinished base for your finishing line. Polyester greige stock runs 160–330 cm at 55–120 GSM; custom at 5,000 m per specification.
Scoured, usually bleached base for piece dye, garment dye, or print. PFD white is still a preparation stage, not a finished shade.
Ready for dyeing—Weaverine treats PFD and RFD as synonyms when the same test list is attached. Prefer one letter on the line either way.

Singe, desize, scour, bleach—name which apply. Wet process moves width and GSM, so freeze after-preparation numbers.
Whiteness, absorbency, pH, residuals, width, GSM, weave, fiber. A dye trial on that construction beats any abbreviation.
Piece dye, print, then lab dip for solids or strike-off for prints. P/D, Y/D, PRT, and PFP sit next to PFD on mill quotes—each names a route, not a fiber.
650+ waterjet looms, stock greige with no minimum, custom from 5,000 m. Bleached-white programs from 2,000 m per white program.
