Video transcript

  1. 0:00A printed full-zip succeeds or fails at the zipper.
  2. 0:05The zipper splits the front and pulls the fabric; art across it can crack or split. Keep chest marks beside it, sized for the smallest size, big art on the back.
  3. 0:17Write one spec: fibre ratio, weight in both units, pre-shrink, zipper and pockets. Cotton shrinks, zipper tape doesn't, so the placket can wave.
  4. 0:28Embroider chest logos, screen print bold back art on larger runs, use DTG or DTF for small full-colour orders, and keep thick ink and dense stitches off the teeth.
  5. 0:39Approve only a sample that's been washed, stretched and zipped end to end. Cracks can show after washing, so check colour, panel alignment and shrinkage.
  6. 0:50Ready to scope your order?
  7. 0:55Send artwork, quantity, size split, in-hands date.
