Decoration compatibility

VisePrint guidance derived from this garment's stated fabric and construction — not manufacturer claims.

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 fleece surface — expect some ink gain; a higher-mesh screen and an underbase help keep edges clean.

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.
  • Lofted fleece surface — press with slightly higher pressure for full transfer contact.

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 fleece surface reduces DTG detail.

Embroidery

Excellent

Midweight-plus fabric supports dense stitch counts without distortion.

  • Lightweight or performance knit — use a stabilizer/backing to prevent puckering.
  • Lofted fleece — a water-soluble topping keeps small lettering from sinking.

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.
Fleece
Fleece is a knit fabric with a brushed, napped interior that traps warm air, forming the base of hoodies, crewnecks, and sweatpants.
Moisture-Wicking Fabric
Moisture-wicking fabric, almost always polyester, pulls sweat away from skin to its outer surface for fast evaporation, unlike absorbent cotton.
Coverstitch
Coverstitch hems knit garments using two or three needles and a looper, laying parallel top rows over a stretchy zigzag underside.
Zipper garage (chin guard)
A zipper garage, or chin guard, is a small fabric flap at the top of a zipper that shields the chin from the metal slider.
