Decoration compatibility
VisePrint guidance derived from this garment's stated fabric and construction — not manufacturer claims.
Screen printing
Good
Prints well with a low-bleed ink system made for polyester; standard plastisol can dye-migrate.
- Dye-migration risk on polyester content — use a low-bleed or poly-specific ink system and cure at lower temperatures.
DTF transfer
Good
Compatible with this fabric type at correct press temperature and pressure.
- High press heat can affect polyester — test temperature and dwell time before a full run.
- Moisture-management finishes can reduce adhesion — verify wash durability on a test piece.
DTG printing
Not Recommended
Polyester-dominant fabric is a poor DTG substrate; choose DTF or screen printing instead.
- Water-based DTG ink absorbs poorly into polyester and can wash out — pretreat and test.
Embroidery
Conditional
Very light fabric can pucker under dense designs — keep stitch counts modest and stabilize well.
- Lightweight or performance knit — use a stabilizer/backing to prevent puckering.
Heat transfer
Good
Standard HTV and transfers apply well at the correct temperature for this fiber mix.
- Use low-temperature transfer material to avoid scorch or dye migration on polyester.
- Verify transfer adhesion over moisture-management finishes.
Sublimation
Excellent
High-polyester fabric accepts sublimation dye fully.
- Sublimation shows only on white or very light garment colors.
Decoration results can vary by equipment, ink, transfer material, garment color, and production settings. Always test before beginning a full production run.

Terms used on this page
- Polyester
- Polyester is a synthetic, petroleum-based fiber prized for durability, quick-dry performance, and colorfastness, but prone to dye migration under screen-print inks.
- Interlock Knit
- Interlock knit is a double-knit fabric formed by interlocking two 1x1 rib layers back-to-back, giving a smooth, identical face on both sides.
- Odor-Resistant
- Odor-resistant fabric carries an antimicrobial treatment — usually silver ion or a branded finish like Polygiene — that slows the bacteria causing sweat smell between washes.
- Self-fabric collar
- A self-fabric collar is a polo collar cut from the same piqué or jersey yardage as the shirt body instead of a separately knitted piece.
- Placket
- A placket is the reinforced, buttoned front opening on a polo or henley, and its width and length set the boundary for where a left-chest logo can sit.
- Side Vents (Split Hem)
- Side vents, or split hem, are small slits left open at the bottom of a shirt's side seams, adding ease of movement and a retail-styled look.
