Ankara Fabric Prices: Compare 6-Yard Wax Prints & Wholesale Costs

SJD Lace / Wholesale buying notes

Before you ask “How much is a piece?”, check what that piece contains. Composition, decoration and shipping weight can change the cost of an order—even when every piece is six yards long.

Price reference: 20 October 2026 · For fabric retailers, boutiques and tailors

Two suppliers can quote different prices for a six-yard piece of African wax fabric. A useful comparison begins with the exact fabric and ends with the costs included in the quotation. That helps you decide whether a design fits your customer’s budget, your selling price and your delivery plan.

Buyers searching for Ankara fabric prices or a Holland Wax price need a comparison of actual specifications. Here, Ankara refers to the African printed fabrics in this selection; we identify cotton and polyester separately.

This guide uses four options from our African wax print wholesale collection. Each is supplied as a 6-yard piece, approximately 5.49 metres. The photographs show category examples; your quotation identifies the actual designs and colours you choose.

From Fabric to Finished-Look Ideas

Use these outfit examples to discuss your customer’s garment brief. A full skirt, fitted bodice or tailored set can need different print placement and cutting allowances. Ask the maker to check measurements, fabric width and pattern repeat before confirming quantity.

What Affects Ankara Fabric Prices?

Composition: our polyester wax print is 100% polyester. The Holland Wax, glitter wax and rhinestone wax options listed here are 100% cotton. Similar colours do not make these the same product.

Decoration: glitter and rhinestones add different finishes. Compare the actual coverage and placement, and ask how the selected fabric should be handled, packed and cared for.

Dimensions: six yards describes length. Confirm the width as well, because a wider fabric can offer a different cutting area. Ask your tailor to check the usable pattern area before deciding how many pieces to buy.

Quantity and selection: send the quantity per design and colour, as well as the total order quantity. Wholesale wax orders start from 10 pieces; the proposed mix and availability are confirmed before payment.

For a wider explanation of the ranges, read our African wax fabric types guide. For order planning, see the Holland Wax wholesale buying guide.

Holland Wax Price per Piece, per Yard and per Metre

Convert quotations to the same unit before deciding which offer is lower. For a confirmed six-yard piece:

Price per yard = piece price ÷ 6
Price per metre ≈ piece price ÷ 5.4864

For example, the Holland Wax reference price of US$9.85 per piece is approximately US$1.64 per yard or US$1.80 per metre. These figures exclude shipping and other charges. Compare the width and composition alongside the unit price.

How Much Will Shipping Add?

Start with the product weight, then ask the shipping provider for the chargeable weight and rate. For mixed products, calculate the weight of each line separately and add the results.

Estimated product weight = pieces × reference weight per piece
Estimated freight = confirmed chargeable weight × agreed freight rate

A shipping provider may charge by actual weight, volumetric weight or an agreed shipment basis. Product weight does not include every packing allowance. Container freight is quoted for the agreed shipment rather than by applying the small-order example below.

A Worked Example: 20 Pieces of Holland Wax

Suppose you are comparing a 20-piece order. The following calculation uses the reference product price and weight above and an illustrative freight rate of US$5 per kilogram. This rate is an arithmetic assumption, not a shipping quotation.

Calculation Example result
Fabric: 20 × US$9.85 US$197.00
Estimated product weight: 20 × 0.85 kg 17 kg before packing
Illustrative freight: 17 kg × US$5/kg US$85.00
Fabric + illustrative freight US$282.00
Included cost per piece: US$282 ÷ 20 US$14.10

Use our Wholesale Fabric Planner to organise your selected products and freight estimate. Confirm the displayed product prices against your current quotation before committing to an order.

Compare the Cost with Your Local Selling Price

If your customers pay in a local currency, convert your USD cost using the exchange rate available for your payment. A live online rate can help you estimate, but your bank or payment service may apply a different rate and charges.

Local-currency cost = USD cost × local currency units per US$1
Estimated gross profit = sales revenue − included purchasing costs
Estimated gross margin = gross profit ÷ sales revenue × 100

If one piece has an included cost of US$14.10 and sells for the equivalent of US$20, the estimated gross profit is US$5.90 and the gross margin is 29.5%. That calculation only includes the costs entered. It is not a promise of demand or profit.

Deduct shop expenses, payment charges, customer discounts, local transport and other applicable costs when assessing the order. Use a local selling price for a comparable composition, length and finish, rather than comparing every fabric with the highest price you have seen in a market.

Wholesale Ankara Fabric: Reference Prices and FOB Quotations

Our catalogue reference prices help you build a shortlist and an initial budget. They are standard fabric-only prices before any order-specific discount. A final FOB China quotation requires the selected designs, composition, width, quantities, packaging and agreed port of shipment.

For container orders, SJD Lace quotes on FOB China terms. We do not offer CIF quotations. International freight, import clearance, taxes and destination charges are arranged and paid for by the buyer. The final quotation sets out the agreed shipment details and included origin costs.

For a production enquiry, tell us whether you want to select our existing designs or submit your own references. We will check production feasibility, minimum quantities, sample requirements and lead time before confirming the offer.

Questions Buyers Ask About Ankara and Wax Fabric Prices

How much is Ankara fabric per 6-yard piece?

Holland Wax is US$9.85 and cotton wax with glitter is US$11.36. These are fabric-only reference prices dated 20 October 2026; confirm the exact design, quantity and order terms before payment.

Yes. All four references in this article are six yards per piece, approximately 5.49 metres. Confirm the width and exact selected product in your quotation.

Are glitter wax and rhinestone wax cotton?

The glitter wax and rhinestone wax ranges in this comparison are 100% cotton. The polyester wax print is 100% polyester.

Is the lowest price always the best buying option?

Choose against your customer’s brief and target selling price. Composition, finish, usable width and delivery cost all affect the comparison. For an unfamiliar product, inspect a sample before increasing your quantity.

Can I mix designs in a wholesale order?

Send your preferred designs, colours and quantity per style. We will check the available mix and current stock. Wax wholesale orders start from 10 pieces.

Can I use these weights as my final freight weight?
