Budget Zip Fleece

Providing unrivalled quality is important to you, your customer, and to us here at Helloprint. We provide garments from leading clothing brands and aim to deliver consistent and superior quality.

We aim to ensure that your favourite brand is always in stock. However, in the event that a specific garment is not in stock and has no estimated replenishment date, our partners will fulfil the order with a Helloprint preapproved garment to minimise delays. The substitute garment will be as close in design and quality to the original.

Screen printing is a technique that involves using a woven mesh screen to support an ink-blocking stencil to print a desired image. This method is suitable for larger quantities, as it is more cost-effective than DTG.

Embroidery is the process in which a pattern or logo stitched onto fabric. Most often, embroidery is used to display business names or logos onto apparel for uniform purposes.

Screen printing is great for a higher quantity of custom print in terms of cost and quality of the print, however, vinyl is cheaper in lower quantity and can give full colour which screen printing cannot.

DTG printing is used to achieve photo quality prints and can have extensive colour options. The number of colours does not affect the pricing. There is also no minimum quantity necessary, which makes it suitable for small batches. DTG printing goes up to 50 pieces, then changes to the screen print method for larger amounts.

Screen printing: Useful for large quantities of prints. Screen printing is relatively expensive to start, but the time and cost to print is much lower than with DTG.

Embroidery is a long-lasting option that will not fade in the wash. Embroidery is most often used to stitch logos onto uniforms and clothing that are designed to be long-lasting.

The print position depends on the type of garment. We can print on the Chest, Chest & Back, Front Large, Back Large, Front Large & Back Large on most of our apparel items.

DTG printing is best suited for 100% cotton garments. This is because the natural fibres react better with the water based ink in DTG printers. The higher the cotton content, the more opaque the print.

Heather colours and cotton polyester blends have a textured look and blend two materials together. As polyester is a synthetic material that repels water (often used in sportswear), it naturally doesn’t mix with DTG’s water-based ink very well. Therefore, prints on cotton polyester blends tend not to have the same level of opacity as prints on 100% cotton garments.

Most hoodies and sweatshirts are blended with some level of polyester, even if they are solid colours, to achieve some sweat-wicking properties. Many customers who value the textured appearances of heather colours more than print opacity opt for these cotton/polyester blends.

Triblends are made from a blend of cotton, polyester, and rayon. Rayon is a synthetic fibre that doesn't work with the water-based DTG ink. Rayon, however, is lightweight and improves the fit of a garment. Triblends also have a specific faded/vintage outcome with DTG printing.

To summarise: for the most opaque printing results, we recommend that you go with 100% cotton garments. But, if you're looking for a specific heather colour look or a lower print opacity, cotton blends are an attractive option.

1-4 colours indicates the amount of colours that your logo/design can have. If you choose the one colour option, this means that your logo/design should only contain 1 colour. The same applies to 2, 3 and 4 colour as the name suggests.

If your chosen garment does not state any colour options, the print is automatically full colour print.

It is possible to supply your design files in multiple ways. For the best result, we kindly ask you to please supply your files in vector. If the logo consists of Pantone colours, it should be saved as vector. Vector means that the design isn't made of pixels, but out of lines.

Screen printing will last around 20 to 40 washes. This is highly dependent on the quality of the garment and the ink.

Embroidery will last as long as the garment itself if the washing instructions are followed.

- Wash inside out
- Screen printing/ embroidery: Maximum 40ºc
- Full colour: Maximum 30ºc
- Do not use liquid laundry detergent
- Do not wash chemically
- Do not bleach

Printing Budget Zip Fleece is different from printing paper - no two pieces are the same. There is always a possibility of a slight deviation in the position of the print. However, this is minimal and often not visible when worn.

For the delivery of your Budget Zip Fleece we use multiple carriers. We use our most reliable carriers, which in most cases are UPS or DPD.
We also use DHL and our own courier service. However, these carriers are only used for certain products (depending on the size, the turnaround and the quantity).
