Buying torso forms in Bangladesh

A torso form is the body of a figure without the head, arms and legs, used to show tops, shirts, dresses and knitwear. Display torsos are hard shells in fibreglass or plastic on a counter base, floor stand, wall bracket or hook. Shops in Bangladesh use them where floor space is short, and garment factory showrooms typically use them to present samples.

A hard torso cannot take pins: its shell is made for display, not fitting. A torso form manufacturer in Bangladesh should know which you need before quoting. Roptan confirms the use, writes size, finish and mount into the order, checks a sample with your garment on it and inspects the bulk.

Kinds of torso form

Fibreglass display torsos

A rigid shell with a painted finish and finer detail, costing more than plastic. Choose them for windows and counters where the finish is seen up close.

Plastic display torsos

Moulded shells built for heavy store traffic and usually cheaper. Choose them for shelves, walls and busy floors where torsos are moved and dressed often.

Female and male torsos

Shaped to the bust or chest, waist and hip of the clothes on show. Choose the body your range is cut for, and order it to your own size chart.

Photography torsos

Forms sold as a group of their own for photographing garments and samples. Choose them for catalogue and product shots, with a matt finish and an adjustable stand.

How to brief a torso form manufacturer in Bangladesh

Use: Display, photography or pinning. A hard shell suits display only, so say how the torso will be used before the seller quotes a build.
Measurements: Bust or chest, waist and hip in cm, plus neck and shoulder width, measured to ISO 8559-1. Size labels vary too much to order by letter.
Shell and weight: Fibreglass or plastic, and the weight per piece, since torsos on high shelves and hooks are lifted up and down by hand.
Mount: Counter base, floor stand with its height range, wall bracket or hook. Say how the torso joins the stand, and order spare fixings.
Finish: Gloss or matt and the colour against an approved panel. ISO 2813 gloss readings are only a guide on a curved shell, so agree the spot.
Packing: If the torsos nest, state pieces per carton and keep each carton under 68 kg, so an ISTA 1A or 2A test applies.

Tests and papers for torso forms

ISO 2813 gloss: Measures gloss at 20, 60 or 85 degrees on flat, non-textured coatings. On a torso, use it as a guide and judge the finish against an approved panel.
ISO 2248 drop test: The plain vertical drop of a filled transport package onto a rigid surface. Ask for it on a full carton of nested torsos, packed the way they will ship.
ISTA 1A or 2A: Transit tests for packages up to 68 kg: 1A checks integrity, 2A is a partial simulation and a more thorough screen, worth asking for on export cartons.
ISO 2859-1:2026: AQL sampling for lot-by-lot inspection. Agree before the final check which faults count: cracks, chips, size out of tolerance, a torso that will not seat on its stand.

What moves the price of a torso form

Material: fibreglass usually costs more than plastic.
Build: a hard shell and a padded, pinnable torso are different products, so ask for a quote on the build you need.
Finish: ask for a stock white, black or skin tone to be quoted beside any special colour or effect.
Stand: ask whether a floor stand or wall bracket is priced with the torso or as a separate item.

Lead times and delivery

Torsos from existing moulds in a stock finish are usually the quickest. A new shape to your measurements, a matched colour and custom stands add time, and a large order may wait on how many moulds the seller can run at once. Roptan confirms the sample date, bulk date and minimum in the quote.

We deliver torsos to stores, malls and factory showrooms across Bangladesh, packed in cartons with stands and brackets packed apart, labelled by store if you open in phases. Each delivery carries the packing list and a VAT invoice (Mushak 6.3). Open some cartons on arrival and check shells for cracks.

Buying torso forms for export

Torsos are parts of lay figures, so they usually enter under HS heading 9618; your customs broker confirms the code. Bangladesh shipped about 10.43 million US dollars under that heading in FY2025-26 (EPB), a total that includes animated displays and has no split for torsos. Torsos that nest fit more pieces in a carton, which lowers freight per piece. Roptan quotes FOB Chattogram.

What we check for this order

Use matched to buildWe confirm you need a hard display shell, not a pinnable dress form, before the seller quotes.
Size on the sampleWe measure bust or chest, waist, hip and shoulder width on the sample and bulk pieces against your chart.
Stand and fixingWe fit each torso style to its stand or bracket to check it sits straight and does not rock.
Nested cartonWe open a packed carton to check torsos are separated, so shells do not rub or crack in transit.

Questions buyers ask

Can I pin garments on a torso form?

Not on a hard shell. Hard-shell display torsos have an exterior that stops pins, so they suit finished garments only. For fitting and draping you need a form with layers of foam under a cloth cover, and for pattern work, a dress form built to your size.

Torso or full mannequin?

A torso takes less space, is lighter to lift onto shelves and counters, and shows tops, shirts and knitwear well. A full figure shows a complete outfit, trousers included. Use torsos where floor space is short and full figures in windows.

What size should a torso be?

The size of the garments you show, given as bust or chest, waist and hip in centimetres, plus neck and shoulder width. Size letters mean different things between brands, so a stock medium may not fit your medium. Send your chart or a sample garment.

Are torsos used for product photography?

Yes. Display forms are commonly used to show garments and shoot samples, and retailers sell photography figures as a group of their own. For photography, ask for a matt finish that does not throw back light and a stand that adjusts in height.

How soon will I hear back about mannequins and display?

Within 48 hours of a complete requirement, with a price and a delivery date. A requirement is complete when it has the quantity, where it is needed and by when.
