Washing
- Washing process that occurs
after the garment is assembled
- Result is a softer, white
shirt with less shrinkage
- Recommended for customers
needing a “pre-shrunk” garment
in order to embellish
- If you will be using white as a “color” in
your garment dye line, garment washing is utilized
to shrink the white garments so that the sizing is
consistent with the product you garment dye.
- Washing process that occurs either
before or after garment is assembled
- Principally used
to reduce pilling
- Result
is cleaner finish with a softer hand
Dyeing
Dye types and processes are selected based on
the fabric (or combination of
fabrics) to be dyed, the garment type, and the
desired color, consistency,
texture, and feel of the finished garments. A lab
dip approval is required
for custom colors.
