Buyer Questions

Frequently Asked Questions for T-Shirt Manufacturing

How do you prevent collar stretching and "bacon neck"?

We knit our neck collars with high-density 1x1 cotton ribbing blended with 5% Lycra spandex and apply a reinforced shoulder-to-shoulder herringbone back neck tape that locks the collar circumference permanently.

What is your shrinkage tolerance after domestic wash cycles?

All our cotton single jersey undergoes controlled compaction and sanforization. We guarantee residual shrinkage under 3% length and width under standard domestic 30°C–40°C machine wash conditions.

Can you produce custom heavyweight 260–300 GSM streetwear tees?

Yes. Heavyweight boxy tees are one of our core specialties. We spin and knit 16s and 20s yarn into dense, opaque single jersey with drop-shoulder patterning and thick 2.5cm ribbed collars.

What print method is best for large graphic streetwear designs?

For large front or back graphics on dark tees, we recommend water-based discharge printing or soft-hand plastisol with high-density puff accents. Discharge printing removes the dark dye, leaving a soft zero-hand feel.

What is the proto sample lead time and courier dispatch?

Proto samples take 7–10 business days based on your tech pack or reference sample. We dispatch worldwide via DHL Express or FedEx Priority with tracking delivered to your office in 3–5 business days.

Do you provide GOTS organic or OEKO-TEX certified fabrics?

Yes. We provide 100% GOTS certified organic combed cotton with scope and transaction certificates, dyed using OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I non-toxic reactive dyes safe for sensitive skin.
