Questions about Custom Zip-Ups?
FAQ
Everything you need to know about zip-up fabrics, decoration methods, streetwear and athletic-team treatments, bulk pricing, and delivery.
What's the best fabric for a custom full-zip hoodie?
Depends on the program. Heavyweight cotton fleece (Los Angeles Apparel 14 oz, Cotton Heritage, AS Colour) is the streetwear-capsule and heritage-drop workhorse — premium retail hand-feel built for soft-hand screen print and heritage collegiate chenille patches. French terry (Cotton Heritage, New Era) is the brand-ambassador lifestyle pick — soft drape with breathable hand-feel. Performance athletic fleece (Nike Therma-FIT, OGIO) is the team-training and championship pick. Technical soft shell (OGIO Crux, OGIO Endurance Brink) is built for outdoor-recreation programs.
Can you decorate cotton fleece, French terry, and performance fleece zip-ups?
Yes. Heat-pressed transfers are the headline decoration on heavyweight cotton fleece, French terry, and performance fleece — soft-hand multi-color transfers for hand-painted drippy lettering, embroidered tattoo-flash, vintage cartoon graphics, and skull+floral back-prints. Plastisol screen print works on heavyweight cotton fleece, French terry, and performance fleece. DTG photo-realistic illustrations work on cotton fleece and French terry. Heritage chenille patches and heritage multi-patch compositions sew directly to the chest panel.
What's the difference between heat-pressed transfers and screen printing on zip-ups?
Heat-pressed transfers use soft-hand multi-color transfer film applied with heat — best for hand-painted drippy lettering, photographic full-back compositions, embroidered tattoo-flash designs, and skull+floral graphics on heavyweight cotton fleece, French terry, and performance fleece. Screen print uses plastisol or water-based inks pushed through a stencil — best for bold full-back hits, vintage cartoon characters, classical-statue chest emblems, and full-chest applications on heavyweight cotton fleece and French terry.
Are custom zip-ups machine-washable?
Yes. Follow the garment label — most cotton fleece, French terry, and performance fleece zip-ups are machine-washable cold and tumble-dried low. Turn inside-out before washing for longest print life on heat-pressed transfer, screen-printed, and flocked decoration. Heritage chenille patches and heritage multi-patch compositions are sewn-on and machine-wash safe.
Do you offer bulk pricing on zip-up orders?
Yes. Bulk discounts apply at volume across heat-pressed transfer, screen print, DTG, embroidery, patch, foil, and flocked runs on the full zip-up archive. Reach out for a custom quote tailored to your streetwear capsule, athletic-team, outdoor-recreation, brand-ambassador, or corporate-outerwear order.
How quickly can I get custom zip-ups for a streetwear capsule or team rollout?
Standard production is 10–14 business days after proof approval. Rush production is available for streetwear capsule drops, athletic-team rollouts, brand-ambassador deadlines, and outdoor-recreation programs. Every order ships with tracking and we plant one tree per order placed.
