Choosing the right garment for your screen printing order is an important part of the process that can impact the overall quality of your final product. Whether you’re printing t-shirts, hoodies, or other apparel items, there are a few key factors to consider when selecting the right garment for your order. In this blog post, we’ll explore those factors and help you choose the best garment for your next screen printing project.
The first factor to consider when choosing a garment for your screen printing order is the purpose of the garment. Will it be worn for a special event, like a fundraiser or charity walk? Will it be worn for a sports team or other group activity? Or will it be sold in a retail setting? The purpose of the garment will influence the type of fabric, the style, and the fit you should choose.
The fabric of the garment is another important factor to consider. Cotton is a popular choice for screen printing because it’s comfortable, breathable, and holds ink well. Polyester is another popular choice because it’s durable, moisture-wicking, and doesn’t shrink. Blends of cotton and polyester can also offer the benefits of both fabrics. It’s important to choose a fabric that will hold up well to washing and wear, and that won’t shrink or fade.
The style and fit of the garment are also important considerations. Will your order be for a unisex t-shirt or a women’s tank top? Will it be a fitted style or a looser, more relaxed fit? The style and fit of the garment should be appropriate for the purpose of the garment and the target audience.
When choosing a garment for your screen printing order, it’s important to check for availability. Some styles, colors, and sizes may be out of stock or have longer lead times. It’s important to plan ahead and allow enough time to order the garments and receive them before your printing deadline.
Choosing the right garment for your screen printing order is an important part of the process that can impact the overall quality of your final product. By considering factors like the purpose of the garment, the fabric, the style and fit, and the availability of the garment, you can make an informed decision that will result in a successful printing project.
