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.
  • Stretch content — use an ink with good elongation to avoid cracking.

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.
  • Stretch fabric — hoop with light tension and use a ballpoint needle.

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.

About this blank

*Due to the nature of Sublimation, we highly recommend sample testing by color before production printing.  Garment must be laid flat on dryer belt to avoid overlap, transferring the print to other areas of the garment.

Country of origin

Made in Guatemala.

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.
Spandex (Elastane)
Spandex, also called elastane, is a synthetic stretch fiber blended in small percentages into fitted and athletic apparel to add four-way stretch and recovery.
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor)
UPF rates how much UV radiation a fabric blocks, from 15 (good) to 50+ (excellent, blocking over 97.5% of rays), tested under AATCC 183.
Wrinkle Resistance
Wrinkle resistance is a fiber blend or chemical finish that keeps fabric from creasing, letting shirts come off the shelf looking pressed and stay that way.
Snag Resistance
Snag resistance describes how well a fabric's yarn resists catching and pulling into a loop when it hooks on velcro, nails, or rough surfaces.
Tear-Away Label
A tear-away label is a neck or side-seam tag stitched along a single perforated line so it pulls out cleanly by hand for private labeling.
