Design: The starting point for any groundbreaking garment collection. Whether you’re designing for style, for sustainability, or two bring those two worlds together, Checkpoint has the branding solutions, tailor made for your brand. Checkpoint Systems is one of the largest label manufacturers in the world, supplying some of the biggest brands, and they’re delighted to be exhibiting this year and showcasing the realms of possibilities available for your Autumn/Winter collections for 25/26.
Creative inspiration
Tailored Creatives is their ground-breaking series where they highlight the inspiration that can be gathered from other creative disciplines and demonstrate how these can be applied to your branding. Having explored the world of typography and graphic design in 2023, this year they are launching their new capsules inspired by AI art at Munich Fabric Start, so visitors will be the first to see and experience their development. Featuring nods to seasonal colours and trends, the collection highlights all that is possible with your branding, and how inspiration can strike from any creative craft.
Their recent “Blue Ink” release shows how you can use a simple colour palette to have great impact using different production techniques and effects. Not yet caught up on their Tailored Creatives releases in 2023, their ¡Excelsior! collection will also be on display to show their evolution of ideas and creativity. All of these collections are backed up by digital presentations and supporting materials to show the impact these can have on the design process, and to emphasise the importance of these steps to minimize the amount of physical samples produced and shipped, helping to have a positive impact on the environmental impact of brand development.
“Featuring nods to seasonal colours and trends, the collection highlights all that is possible with your branding, and how inspiration can strike from any creative craft.”
Sustainability starts with design
It’s a phrase they use often, and one they truly believe in. At Checkpoint they’re committed to helping their customers meet their sustainability goals. As sustainability starts with design, they have created the Planit process.
Bringing together their creative and account management teams with their packaging and brand teams, sustainability is considered at every part of the products journey from material and construction to production location. Designed with the planet in mind.
Their Planit Collection is the Planit process in practice ensuring your sustainability message is clear and based on real, measurable data. Materials are responsibly sourced and produced in their global network of ethically accredited factories, as close to needle point as possible, to reduce your carbon footprint.
The collection considers the end of life of a product, using preferred more sustainable materials to help you design for circularity whilst also considering recyclability.
“At Checkpoint they’re committed to helping their customers meet their sustainability goals. As sustainability starts with design, they have created the Planit process.”
Prepared for the future
With the growing list of legislations and regulations on the horizon, the pressure on brands and retailers is huge. They have a huge amount of experience in helping brands navigate these issues through smart labelling solutions, and they are on hand to offer insights and updates on the latest updates as to how they can support your brand.
Their innovative GEMINI TAG™ provides duplicated QR codes supplied on one RFID embedded pocket tag to help with traceability from point of production and through the supply chain, as well as providing easy access to key product information to end consumers in line with the latest Digital Product Passport updates.
Unique identification of each garment, above standard SKU level, is a key component of DPP requirements, but their decades of experience in data integration allows them to address this challenge with confidence. Through serialized QR codes, either provided as a PFL or as a woven branded label, they can provide easily accessible links attached to the garment for all your vital information.
And as far as extra added intelligence goes, Checkpoint provides one of the largest and broadest RFID portfolios available, all designed and manufactured in-house for added quality assurance. Whether you’re looking to increase traceability through your supply chain, increase inventory accuracy in-store, provide increased loss prevention security or added consumer engagement through NFC tech, they have the solution available to you.
Whatever your plans are for AW25/26, Checkpoint has the solutions to take your vision and amplify it to its maximum potential.

FABRIC HIGHLIGHTS & MATERIAL NOVELTIES FOR AUTUMN.WINTER 25/26 - PART III
At the upcoming MUNICH FABRIC START, around 600 international suppliers will present their material innovations for all apparel segments in the FABRICS Area. The complete product portfolio of fashionable woven and knitted fabrics made of wool, cotton, silk, blends and functional fibres will be presented here. For the Autumn.Winter 25/26 season, we present some new products and highlights from international producers in our FABRICS blog posts:
PONGEES
Shades that fit into the top colour stories for autumn/winter are being promoted by silk specialists Pongees to meet immediate demand from designers looking to place last minute orders. Pongees holds more than 10,000 fabrics in stock and has a 1 metre minimum; it can also supply European buyers with fabrics within a few days, without any additional import charges, just as it did pre Brexit.
The colour stories being promoted, predicted by global consumer and design trend and colour authorities WGSN and Coloro are: Intense Rust, Midnight Plum, Sustained Grey, Cool Matcha and Apricot Crush. “Two years ago, these shades were selected to reflect stability and reassurance that connect with nature, as well as escapism and sustainability. Today they are even more appropriate given how cautious consumers are about the future,” says Nick Moore, managing director, Pongees. “With our huge colour palette, Pongees not only offers the top shades for autumn/winter but also those being tipped for spring 2025 collections.“ Silk is also in vogue, as from an environmentally-friendly perspective it comes from a natural source, is biodegrabable and has a low environmental impact.” Many of Pongees silks are woven from silkworms, whose exclusive diet is the mulberry leaf; its plain dyed fabrics meet OEKO-TEX standards. Pongees’ natural (greige) options are an ideal base for designers to personalise with bespoke prints and dyes to enhance exclusivity.

Since 2019, Corina Rüegg has been strongly involved in plant-based dyeing techniques and has developed an industrial process for dyeing fabrics with natural extracts. This method is more beneficial to both people and the environment, as dyeing staff are not exposed to harmful chemicals and wastewater pollution is significantly reduced. Throughout the entire production chain, LILABLUM prioritizes social and ecological responsibility.
