Product Technical Description
Simple Discharge Printing: The Art of Creating Contrast in Fabric Weave
Simple discharge printing is a unique process in which the dark background color of the fabric is removed using discharge agents, creating a light base for the design. This technique allows for the creation of highly contrasting designs that are visually appealing and distinctive. It is ideal for creating graphic, fantasy, and modern designs on cotton and viscose fabrics. Unlike traditional printing techniques, simple discharge printing gives the fabric a three-dimensional and natural appearance and does not alter the fiber color, but only prepares the background so that patterns appear clearly.
Features of Simple Discharge Printing
Simple discharge printing is one of the artistic and technical methods in the textile industry that gives fabrics a remarkable and distinct look. In this technique, the background color of dark fabrics is removed using chemical discharging agents to leave behind a bright and raised pattern. The most important features of this process include:
- Strong and eye-catching visual contrast: Bright colors on a dark background add special depth and dimension to patterns and create a modern and luxurious impression.
- Preserving the softness of fibers: Unlike some other printing methods, this process does not damage the fabric structure, and the original softness of the fibers is maintained.
- High definition and accuracy in design: Due to the precise removal of color in specific areas, designs appear on the fabric with full detail and high quality.
- Ability to combine with other printing methods: Simple discharge printing can be combined with pigment or reactive printing to create a more multi-dimensional and unique effect.
- Color and texture durability after washing: Fabrics printed with this method show high resistance to washing and abrasion, and retain their color and design for a long time.
Applications of Simple Discharge Printing
Due to its unique visual effect and high quality, simple discharge printing is widely used in various fields of fabric design and production. This method allows fashion designers and manufacturers to create modern and attractive designs using color contrast. Especially in modern and fantasy apparel, this technique is used for producing printed T-shirts, patterned mantles, shawls, and scarves that require a unique and appealing appearance; it is also used in accessories and decorative products such as fabric bags, neckerchiefs, and special scarves, giving a touch of luxury and artistry. Additionally, in home textiles such as cushions, tablecloths, and curtains, simple discharge printing helps designers create spaces with a different and modern visual impact. Its high durability, fabric softness, and the ability to execute detailed designs have made this method a top choice for professional textile printing workshops.
The Process of Simple Discharge Printing
The simple discharge printing process is performed in several specialized steps, combining the science of dyeing and the art of design:
- Fabric preparation: First, the fabric is dyed with dark colors such as black, navy, or brown.
- Applying discharge agents: Special chemical agents are applied to the desired areas by stencil or printing machine.
- Removing color from the fabric surface: A chemical reaction eliminates the color in certain areas, revealing the light design.
- Washing and fixation: The fabric is washed to remove remaining materials and then stabilized to ensure the design lasts longer.
- Drying and final finishing: Finally, the fabric is dried and prepared for use in apparel and textile production.

Sabalan: The Beating Heart of Iran’s Textile Industry
On the green slopes of Ardabil, where the cold of Mount Sabalan blends with the warm efforts of the workers, one of Iran’s largest and most modern industrial complexes stands tall: the Sabalan Textile and Garment Complex, a symbol of progress, self-sufficiency, and transformation in the nation’s apparel industry.
The construction of this massive complex began in early 1999. After years of relentless effort, the erection of warehouses, installation of machinery, and launch of production lines were accomplished from 2004 to 2007. Ultimately, with the president in attendance, the factory officially opened its doors in 2007, ushering in a new era for Iran’s textile industry. But this was only the beginning of the story—a journey that, through considerable investment, technical innovation, and managerial revitalization, has today become one of the nation’s proudest industrial achievements.
Capacity and Scale at a National Level
The Tejarat Dookht Bartar Sabalan Factory is built on a 200,000-square-meter plot, with 120,000 square meters of infrastructure, in Ardabil’s Industrial Town No. 2.
This immense complex includes seven specialized units, each playing a vital role in the production process:
- Spinning
- Indigo (Denim Dyeing)
- Weaving
- Circular Knitting
- Dyeing, Printing & Finishing
- Sewing
- Flat Knitting
The design of these units is “independent island-style,” enabling each section to operate self-sufficiently and with maximum efficiency. The result of this meticulous structure is the production of a wide range of products—from various yarns and denim/tricot fabrics to ready-made clothing under proprietary brands.
Employment and Social Role
Currently, over 919 people work three shifts in production halls, administrative sections, and support units. Upon full implementation of the overhaul plan and full activation of all production lines, the complex's employment capacity can rise to 5,000—a figure that positions this factory as one of the largest employers in Ardabil Province.
A Challenging Development Path
The initial investment for this complex, supported by multi-million-euro capital and bank facilities, was made in January 2011, and the factory began operations under the name Arta Tejarat Zarrin. However, along the way, financial and managerial hurdles created a rocky road. From 2015 to 2021, the complex was leased out to various companies and teetered on the brink of bankruptcy.
The turning point came in October 2022, when the factory came under the protection of the “Industrial Support Board,” breathing new life into the company. A year later, in October 2023, factory ownership was transferred to Tejarat Bank, enabling a phase of rejuvenation under fresh management and extensive financial backing.
Modernization and Industrial Leap
With Tejarat Bank’s support, over 7,000 billion IRR in funding was injected for the complete overhaul of machinery, warehouse renovation, and infrastructure upgrades.
The results were not just improved productivity but also a renewed sense of motivation among the staff. Timely payment of wages and benefits, better working conditions, and the establishment of a new rewards system fostered a dynamic and hopeful work environment.
The Birth of World-Class Iranian Brands
During its transformation, the complex decided to become not just a producer, but also a brand builder. To this end, three new proprietary brands were launched:
- Araz Jeans (for denim apparel)
- Araz Tex (for textile and fabric products)
- El-Savala (for modern and export garments)
These brands now stand as emblems of quality and authenticity in Iranian manufacturing. By entering both domestic and regional markets, they have opened a new chapter of profitability and competition.
Looking Ahead: Bright Horizons
Tejarat Dookht Bartar Sabalan Factory has developed a meticulous, forward-looking plan for the coming years. Key objectives include:
- Achieving an annual production of 35 million garments
- Expanding a high-quality supply chain from raw materials to final goods
- Increasing exports through collaborations with reputable global brands
- Moving towards a more innovative and competitive structure
- Expanding digital presence and media engagement to showcase capabilities
From Ardabil to the Global Market
The Sabalan Textile and Garment Complex is more than a factory; it’s a symbol of the revival of Iran’s textile industry, youth employment, and a testament to the power of domestic production.
Through the efforts of its managers, engineers, and workers, this complex has become a key industrial hub for the region and is steadily moving toward a brighter future—a future in which the “Made in Iran” label proudly shines on high-quality, modern apparel.
