High Elasticity: The polyurethane ink film stretches with the natural knit of our 240 GSM cotton, preventing cracking.
Wash Longevity: Rated for 50+ machine washes without fading or flaking when laundered properly.
2. High-Density Screen Printing

Extremely economical per-unit pricing.
Breathable soft-hand ink deposit that integrates into the cotton fibers.
Ideal for collegiate symposiums, sports jerseys, and corporate merchandise.
