Your current hoodie vendor is praying you never read this.

Most custom apparel companies, especially the big national ones want you to believe hoodie ordering is simple.

- Upload art
- Pick colors
- Done

What they don't tell you:

=> That "soft" 100% cotton hoodie you're buying for your construction crew? It'll shrink, lose shape, and your crew will stop wearing it within 2 months.

=> The "free shipping" and "low minimums" come from outsourcing your order to the cheapest available printer — with zero quality control.

=> When your logos crack after 3 washes, their "customer service" is an email ticket that takes 48 hours to get a template response.

We run a print shop in Milton, WA. I'm telling you straight:

Hoodie ordering isn't simple if you care about results.

The difference between a hoodie program that lasts 2 years vs. 6 months comes down to 4 decisions most buyers never know they're making:

1. Fabric selection - 50/50 blend vs. 100% cotton vs. heavyweight fleece

2. Print method - screen printing durability vs. embroidery premium feel

3. Cure temperature - under-cured plastisol cracks; we test every run

4. Pre-production approval - seeing your sample before 200 units ship

We this page explains all 4 — no printer jargon, just what Washington businesses actually need to know before placing an order.

Your screen printer doesn't want you to read this.

Most shops default to plastisol for everything. It's faster for them. It's easier. It's not always what's best for your job.

We run a print shop in Washington state, and I'm telling you: sometimes plastisol is the wrong choice.

1) If you're printing 100% cotton premium retail tees? Water-based feels better and brands pay extra for it.
2) If you want that vintage, worn-in look on dark shirts? Discharge integrates the print into the fabric itself — no surface layer, no heavy feel.
3) If your team works in heat and you chose thick plastisol on lightweight cotton? They'll stop wearing your branded gear.

Most buyers never ask about ink. They get whatever's convenient.

We wrote the guide that changes that. It explains exactly when to push back on your printer's default choice — and what to ask for instead.
