MAKE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
Fruit of the Loom
T-shirts for printing and sweatshirts
Fruit of the Loom allows you to compare several clearly different bases under print. The choice between a light promotional T-shirt and a regular wear model should be based on specific parameters, not only on a recognizable name.
Explore collections and applicationsOriginal T and Valueweight - where do I start?
In official Fruit of the Loom Original T cards it is a light promotional proposal, while Valueweight T is the basis for everyday use and marking. The manufacturer gives 140 g/m² in white and 145 g/m² in colors for Original T; 160 and 165 g/m² respectively.
These values help to organize the comparison, but do not prejudice the whole effect. The collection of T-shirts is also influenced by the fashion, color and size of the graphics. When ordering an event, consider whether clothing is intended primarily for that day or to remain a souvenir later.
Same model name, different color composition
The Valueweight card shows why you should check the chosen variant: Basic cotton colors and melange shades may have different compositions. So do not automatically transfer data from black T-shirt to gray melange. The parameters must be read for the color code provided in the order.
In practice, it is worth joining the project both a bright and dark version of the visualization. The white inscription visible on the granite will disappear on white, and a delicate drawing may lose contrast on the mess. Correction of graphics colors can be more important than choosing another degree of fabric weight.
Fruit of the Loom with its own graphics
With a multi-coloured drawing or illustration you can consider DTF, and with a repetitive design and a larger series also screen printing. The comparison should include the number of pieces, the size of the pattern and the expected effect. There is no single technique best for all the designs of this brand.
With a large, full rectangle of the picture, think about leaving your breath in the composition. A cut-out background or a smaller format may change the way you pick up your clothes. Before you approve the series, watch the graphics on a scale corresponding to the printing, especially faces, inscriptions and small details.
Order for group and event
If you need clothing for adults and children, prepare a separate schedule of styles and sizes. It is not enough to reduce the graphics proportionally: shorter body and other neckline location may require adjustment of the marking site. The common motive can still be consistent.
Find out who will get the clothes and how to choose the size. A clear list is helpful when dealing on the spot and an early order collection is available for sale. Leaving the size decisions at the end can limit the choice of colors available in the set.
How do I compare the cost of the entire order?
Compare the same number of pieces, the same print format and identical marking sites. A shirt with a lower base price does not yet determine the cost of the set with graphics on the front, back and sleeve. Personalised names should be indicated separately.
Enter Original T, Valueweight or another model if you have already selected it. If not, describe your destiny and budget for the art ready. In the offer we will present the cost of clothing and marking separately, after checking the possibilities of implementation.
IT'S WORTH KNOWING.
Questions about Fruit of the Loom
Are Valueweight and Original T identical?
No. Official cards indicate, among other things, different grammes. Compare also the cut and the available variants; the manufacturer's name does not mean the same characteristics of all shirts.
Does melange always mean pure cotton?
No. In selected colours, the manufacturer shall indicate the additions of other fibres. The composition needs to be checked in a particular model card and tone.
Will the embroidery work on a light T-shirt?
It requires careful assessment of the size and density of the pattern. Large, heavy embroidery may not fit with light knitted fabric. It is often worth comparing a smaller character or printing.
