Everything Is Possible
Swan's Finishes
Swan combines different finishing techniques with proprietary fabric preparation and printing chemistry to create finishes of quality and sophistication that no other printer can replicate. Example: Both indoor and outdoor lines of pearl/metallic prints including multiple pearls in the same pattern.
Nobody else can do this.
How We Do It
By utilizing equipment and chemistries in unforseen ways
to create finishes others believed were not possible.

About Us
Swan Finishing was founded in 1958 in Swansea, Massachusetts from where the company received its name. In 1972, Swan moved to a newly constructed facility in Fall River, Massachusetts. Swan still manufactures from this facility. In 2004, a new company, Swan Dyeing and Printing, was established to both succeed Swan Finishing and signify a new approach to servicing an ever-changing marketplace. In 2016, Swan Dyeing and Printing changed its name to Swan Fabrics to reflect its transition into finished products which complements and expands upon its fabric processing expertise.
Swan is a short-run, high-quality manufacturing facility serving the indoor and outdoor fabric market. Today Swan Fabrics is the only full service non-military commission dyeing and printing operation in America.
Swan has grown to be the solution for domestic fabric printing needs because, “We Know the Chemistry.”
