Glossary

16 entries

Ring-spun, GSM, triblend, undecorated — the terms, explained.

What Is Ring-Spun Cotton?

Twisted and thinned as it's spun — softer, smoother, stronger than open-end cotton, and it holds fine print detail.

What Is a Triblend Shirt?

Three fibers — poly, cotton, rayon — for a soft, lightweight tee with vintage drape and a heathered look.

What Is Combed Cotton?

Combed to pull out the short, weak fibers before spinning — smoother, softer, stronger cotton that prints clean.

What Is a Raglan Sleeve?

The diagonal seam from underarm to collar — no shoulder seam — behind baseball tees and raglan sweatshirts.

Fleece vs French Terry

Brushed fuzzy pile runs warm; unbrushed loops run light. How the two hoodie fabrics compare.

What Is Garment-Dyed?

Sewn first, then dyed as a finished piece — for a soft, broken-in feel and a lived-in, faded color.

Cotton vs Polyester vs Blend

Which t-shirt fabric to print on: cotton holds detail, polyester sublimates, blends do both. The fabric decides the method.

What Is Piqué Fabric?

The raised, waffle-textured knit behind classic polos — breathable, structured, and built to grip embroidery. Cotton, poly, or blend.

What Is HTV (Heat-Transfer Vinyl)?

Cut-and-press vinyl that bonds to a shirt with heat — opaque, so it covers darks, and the easiest method for small custom runs.

What Is a Crew Neck?

The round, collarless neckline at the base of the neck — the print-ready default on tees and sweatshirts, named for rowing crews.

What Is Puff Print?

The raised, 3D ink effect — a heat-expanding additive that puffs the print into a soft foam texture. Bold shapes, best on cotton.

What Is Jersey Knit?

The soft, stretchy single knit most t-shirts are made from — smooth front, looped back. A structure, not a fiber, and the easiest face to print.

What Is Heather Fabric?

The soft, flecked look you see on gray tees — different-colored fibers blended into the yarn before spinning. A coloring technique, not a fiber.

What Is Screen Printing?

Ink squeegeed through a mesh stencil, one screen per color — the most durable, cheapest-at-volume way to print a tee.

What Is GSM in Fabric?

Grams per square meter — the number that tells you if a blank is a featherweight summer tee or a heavyweight streetwear brick. With the oz conversion.

What Is Sublimation Printing?

Heat turns dye to gas and bonds it inside polyester fibers — permanent, zero-feel, full-color prints. Light poly blanks only; here's why.
