How to keep the print on T-shirts?


T-shirts are one of our most popular personalization products. To keep them in perfect condition, follow these simple steps:

  • Wash on the inverted side: This protects the prints directly from friction during washing.
  • Use lukewarm water: Hot water can damage the print and make it fade.
  • Avoid aggressive detergents: Choose a mild detergent, without bleaching agents and enzymes. They can damage the print.
  • Do not dry in the dryer: The high temperature of the dryer may deform the prints. It is best to dry them in the air, away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to the sun may cause the colors to fade.

Caring for prints on sweatshirts and other textiles

Sweatshirts and other heavy textiles require a slightly different approach:


  • Machine wash inside out: For maximum print protection.
  • Use a gentle wash cycle: Helps prevent chafing and damage.
  • Do not use bleaching agents: They can significantly damage the print, especially on dark colors.
  • Dry low or air dry: Avoid high temperatures to preserve the quality of the print and the fabric itself.
