FAQs

What is the fabric composition of this sweatshirt?

The sweatshirt is made from 80% cotton Belcoro® yarn and 20% polyester.

What does 'Belcoro® yarn' mean for the feel of the fabric?

Belcoro® yarn is used to create a softer feel for the fabric and a cleaner surface, which is also better for printing.

How does the cotton/lycra® ribbing benefit the sweatshirt?

The cotton/lycra® ribbing at the waist, neck, and cuffs helps the sweatshirt retain its shape even after repeated washing and wear.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for printing custom designs?

Yes, the Belcoro® yarn provides a cleaner printing process, making it a good choice for customization.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric weight is 280g/m².

Can this sweatshirt be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, it is a unisex garment designed to be suitable for all children.

What is the recommended way to wash this sweatshirt?

It is recommended to machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F), inside out, with like colours, and tumble dry low or hang dry.

Troubleshooting

Shrinking after washing

Ensure the garment is washed on a cold setting and tumble dried on low heat or air-dried. Avoid high heat drying.

Print quality is poor after customization

Ensure the garment was pre-treated correctly for printing and that the printing process followed recommended guidelines for the fabric blend (80% cotton, 20% polyester).

Ribbing losing elasticity

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, as this can degrade the Lycra® in the ribbing over time. Follow the recommended cold wash and low tumble dry settings.

Colour fading

Wash the garment inside out with similar colours and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, or opt for tumble drying on a low setting.
