FAQ

Get answers to common questions about materials, ordering, design, and more.

What specialty top styles and fabrics do you print on?

We decorate women's specialty tops in rib knit, cotton-spandex, garment-dyed cotton, and baby rib. Available styles include tube top, one-shoulder, and wide-strap sleeveless silhouettes. We source from premium brands and can match specific colors, fabrics, and fits to your brand guidelines.

How is print placement different on specialty tops vs. standard tees?

Sleeveless specialty tops have unique necklines (tube, one-shoulder, wide-strap) that frame the chest area differently. Our design team adjusts placement to work with each neckline and silhouette, ensuring your design is centered and proportional. Exact placement is shown in your free digital mockup before production.

Should I choose screen printing or DTG for specialty tops?

Screen printing works best for bold logos with 1-6 spot colors and delivers the best per-unit cost on larger runs. Water-based inks produce a soft hand feel on ribbed and stretchy fabrics. DTG is ideal for complex design with unlimited colors, photographic details, or smaller runs. Both methods produce excellent results on these fabrics.

What sizes are available for women's specialty tops?

Women's specialty tops are typically available in XS through XL, though sizing varies by brand and style. Most styles feature a fitted women's cut. Mention your preferred sizing range in your quote request and we will source options that match.

Do you offer custom labels and retail-ready finishing?

Yes โ€” we offer full custom finishing including woven labels, printed interior labels, hang tags, folding, and poly bagging. This is ideal for DTC fashion brands and retail collections that need a professional, branded unboxing experience.
