Frequently Asked Questions
Single jersey vs double jersey - what's the difference?
Single jersey is lighter (150-200 GSM), more breathable, with natural stretch in one direction. Double jersey is heavier (200-280 GSM), more stable, and stretches in both directions. Use single for t-shirts, double for structured garments.
What's the best jersey for activewear?
Polyester-spandex jersey (180-220 GSM) with 4-way stretch. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties essential. 85/15 polyester-spandex blend most common for performance wear.
Can jersey fabric be printed?
Yes, jersey accepts DTG, screen printing, and sublimation (polyester jersey). Stretch fabrics require elastic inks to prevent cracking. Test prints recommended for new designs.
Does jersey fabric shrink?
Cotton jersey shrinks 3-5% after first wash. Polyester jersey shrinks minimally (<2%). Pre-shrinking recommended for cotton blends. Always wash samples before finalizing patterns.
What's the MOQ for custom jersey colors?
In-stock colors: 150-300 pieces MOQ. Custom dyeing: 500-1000 meters fabric MOQ with 14-21 day lead time. We can match Pantone TPX textile codes.
