Frequently Asked Questions
What GSM range is best for t-shirts?
150-200 GSM single jersey cotton is ideal for classic t-shirts. 180-220 GSM combed cotton works well for premium basics. Higher GSM (200-220) provides better opacity and durability.
What's the difference between combed and carded cotton?
Combed cotton has short fibers removed through combing, resulting in smoother fabric with less pilling and better durability. Carded cotton is more economical but may pill more over time.
Can you print on cotton fabrics?
Yes, cotton accepts screen printing, DTG (direct-to-garment), and heat transfer very well. Its natural fibers absorb ink effectively, producing vibrant, long-lasting prints.
What's the MOQ for cotton fabric orders?
For in-stock cotton fabrics, MOQ is 150-300 pieces per color/style. For custom dyeing or special cotton specifications, MOQ starts at 500-1000 meters of fabric.
Do cotton fabrics shrink after washing?
Yes, cotton typically shrinks 3-5% after first wash. We recommend pre-shrinking fabric or accounting for shrinkage in patterns. Combed and compacted cotton shrinks less than regular cotton.
