School Batik Uniforms: A Guide to Fabric and Motifs
A guide to school batik uniforms — Prima, Lampion, and Primisima fabrics, fabric needs by school level, motifs, custom logos, and how to order.
Published · August 13, 2026
School batik uniforms give a school its own distinct identity and can be worn both in class and at school events. This article covers what to consider when ordering school batik uniforms — fabric, motifs, fabric needs by school level, and how ordering works.
Why schools choose batik uniforms
Beyond a neat appearance, batik uniforms give a visual identity that sets one school apart from another. Batik fabric also works for both everyday wear and formal occasions, which is why many schools choose it for daily or event uniforms. Fabric and motif choices usually follow the school's budget and identity. You can learn more on our batik uniform page.
Fabric needs by school level
The fabric needed per uniform differs by level. In our price list, the fabric requirement for a short-length uniform is:
Primary (SD) — around 115 cm
Junior high (SMP) — around 150 cm
Senior high (SMA) — around 200 cm
These figures are a starting point for estimating fabric before production. Length, sleeves, and style all affect the final requirement, so it is best confirmed directly with the production team. Our batik confection page explains our bulk garment-making service for school uniforms.
Fabric options for school batik uniforms
The fabric determines how comfortable and how neat the uniform looks. Available options include:
Prima 70/90 — fine cotton that is comfortable to wear, a common choice for everyday uniforms.
Prima Lampion 72/94 — prima cotton with a lighter weight, comfortable in warm weather.
Primisima Berkolisima 133/72 — premium cotton with a high thread density for a smoother finish.
Primisima Gamelan Srimpi — premium primisima cotton for the highest quality needs.
Each fabric has its own character; the right choice depends on the school's needs and budget. The full list is on our fabric materials page.
Motifs for school batik uniforms
The motif can be a school-specific pattern, a regional motif, or a fully custom design. Understanding basic motifs helps a school choose a pattern that matches its character and values. Explore motif options on our batik motifs page.
Custom school batik uniforms with logos
Many schools add their logo or identity to the uniform. The process starts with a design consultation, fabric selection, and a sample before mass production so that motif, logo, and colours match the agreement. Examples of finished work are shown on our portfolio page. Uniform fabric needs can be discussed through our batik fabric and batik uniform pages.

The typical flow is:
Consult your needs — level, number of students, style, and budget.
