Buying Tips for T-Shirts
Print technique matters
Screen prints age better than DTG for bold designs. DTG works best for detailed, multi-color artwork.
Collar rib width
Wider ribbed collars (1.5cm+) typically last longer without stretching out.
Shoulder seam alignment
Dropped shoulders should still align symmetrically across the back.
QC Checkpoints
| Checkpoint | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| Print cracking or fading | Inspect edges of the graphic for premature wear. |
| Neckline symmetry | Ribbing should sit flat and even on both sides. |
| Stitch consistency | Hem lines should be straight with no skipped stitches. |
| Tag accuracy | Wash instructions and material content should match expected standards. |
Sizing Notes
Oversized streetwear tees can run 2-3cm longer than stated. Cross-reference the length measurement with your preferred fit.
Risk Awareness
All-over prints and complex graphics have higher defect rates. Plan for possible re-orders if QC misses a flaw.
Common Questions
Focus on the QC checkpoints listed above. Screen prints age better than DTG for bold designs. DTG works best for detailed, multi-color artwork.
