What fabric should I choose for custom apparel?

For softness and comfort, 100% cotton is a classic choice for custom t-shirts. Polyester blends offer durability, wrinkle resistance, and moisture-wicking properties—perfect for sportswear. Triblend fabrics deliver a premium hand-feel with excellent drape, ideal for fashion-forward custom apparel.

How do I select the right fit and style for my custom t-shirts?

Unisex fits are safest for group orders, while fitted or fashion cuts appeal to retail and promotional wear. Consider sleeve length, neckline style (crewneck, V-neck, scoop), and whether a relaxed or slim fit works best for your audience.

Which garments work best for screen printing vs. embroidery?

Screen printing works best on smooth cotton and cotton blends for vibrant, long-lasting prints. Embroidery is ideal for thicker materials like polos, jackets, and hoodies, adding a premium, textured look to your custom apparel.

What’s the difference between budget and premium custom garments?

Budget garments are cost-effective for large events or giveaways but may be lighter and less durable. Premium garments offer superior stitching, higher-quality fabrics, and enhanced comfort, making them perfect for brand merchandise and retail sales.

How do I choose the right garment color for my design?

Choose colors that create strong contrast with your logo or print. Light designs pop on dark garments and vice versa. Always consider brand consistency and seasonal color trends for maximum visual impact.

What’s the best fabric for DTF and DTG printing?

DTF printing works on almost any fabric, including cotton, polyester, and blends, while DTG printing performs best on 100% cotton for crisp, high-resolution prints. Both are great options for small runs or detailed designs.

Are eco-friendly fabrics good for custom printing?

Yes! Organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled polyester are sustainable and print-friendly. Water-based inks work well on these fabrics, making them an eco-conscious choice for custom t-shirts and branded apparel.

How does fabric weight affect comfort and durability?

Lightweight fabrics (4–5 oz) are breathable and ideal for warm climates, while heavyweight fabrics (6 oz+) offer more structure and durability, making them perfect for workwear and long-term use.

Which garments are best for athletic and performance wear?

Moisture-wicking polyester blends are the top choice for athletic apparel. They keep the wearer cool and dry, resist shrinkage, and work well with sublimation printing for full-color sports designs.

Can I mix different garment types in one order?

Absolutely! You can combine t-shirts, hoodies, polos, and hats in one order. Just ensure your printing method (screen printing, embroidery, DTF) is compatible with each garment’s fabric type.
