Choosing the best type of tee shirt based on the type of decoration for the custom screening printing and embroidery is critical. What works on 100% cotton doesn’t necessarily work on polyester or synthetics. Performance fabrics, such as moisture wicking materials, can and usually do require special inks and changes to setup before printing. These types of Tshirts are very popular with running groups and others because they are very comfortable as the moisture does not stay on one’s skin, but it is absorbed by the shirt as it has a breathable function.

Two things our customers in Columbia, MO will want to pay attention to most are fabric content and fabric weight. Embroiders will generally want a slightly heavier weight tee shirt or polo so they can run their machines at a faster speed with peace of mind that they will not damage the garment. However, many times embroiders work with the lighter weight performance tees. Silk screen printers pay attention to fabric content to ensure they are using the correct inks when printing.

Whether our customer wants a basic or a fashion tee shirt, there are benefits of using tighter knit fabrics, for not only the comfort, but also in the quality and durability of the decoration as well. We tell our customers to take special care in laundering their custom screen printed t shirts or custom embroidered tee shirts or polos by washing them in cold water, using a non-chlorine bleach, and turning them inside-out before putting them in the washing machine.
