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.
- Textured piqué surface — expect some ink gain; a higher-mesh screen and an underbase help keep edges clean.
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.
- Non-flat piqué surface reduces DTG detail.
Embroidery
Excellent
Structured piqué holds stitches cleanly — the classic embroidery surface.
- 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
- Ounces per square yard (oz/yd²)
- Ounces per square yard (oz/yd²) is the US fabric-weight spec printed on nearly every blank’s product page, measuring how many ounces one square yard weighs.
- Recycled Polyester (rPET)
- Recycled polyester (rPET) is polyester fiber re-extruded from reclaimed plastic, mostly PET bottles, performing like virgin poly while supporting a garment's sustainability claim.
- Piqué
- Piqué is a woven-look knit with a raised, waffle-textured face, most familiar as the classic polo-shirt fabric, structured enough that printers usually route it to embroidery.
- Moisture-Wicking Fabric
- Moisture-wicking fabric, almost always polyester, pulls sweat away from skin to its outer surface for fast evaporation, unlike absorbent cotton.
- 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.
