Apparel Care Instructions

Phantom Series

Our Phantom Series items are printed using dye sublimation cut and sew techniques on 'Mock Cotton' polyester or other 'Street Wear' fabrics meant to feel like traditional cotton street gear. We highly recommend washing these products inside out on cold washes and recommend hang drying (will keep colors brighter for longer) or low heat tumble drying.

DTG - Printed apparel (direct-to-garment)

We use the latest direct-to-garment (DTG) printing technology to offer a wide variety of printable garments and design color options. We use high-quality inks that won't fade for a long time if taken care of properly.

Keep in mind that the original manufacturer's care instructions don't take into consideration the DTG printing process. So we suggest following the care instructions on this page to learn how to take care of your printed garments properly.

Printed apparel can be machine-washed cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. You shouldn't use any fabric softeners or dry-clean the items.

DTG-printed apparel can be tumble-dried on a low cycle, but hang-dry works best. When it comes to ironing, use cool iron inside-out. Don't iron the print.

Follow these instructions carefully to avoid fading and cracking of the print, and shrinking the garment that can occur if you wash or dry it on a high setting.

Screen Print Turn the t-shirt inside out when washing and drying. By turning the garment inside out, the printed ink rubs against less material when tumbling in the washer or dryer. This simple step can really elongate the life of a printed t-shirt.

Use low temperature or cold wash settings. It would also be a good idea to separate darks and colored shirts from whites–just in case!

Use a mild laundry detergent.

Tumble dry on low or go the old fashioned route and hang it to dry.

Embroidered apparel Embroidered apparel can be machine-washed cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors. You can use a small amount of chlorine bleach, but non-chlorine is the safer option.

If you notice any color residue in water, rinse the garment in lukewarm water and then in cold several times, but try not to rub any stained embroidery. Embroidered clothing can also be dry-cleaned.

After washing, don't leave the clothing to soak or lie in a pile while wet. Don't wring out the embroidered items, but if you want to tumble-dry them, use a cool air setting.

If the garment needs ironing, do it inside-out, preferably between two pieces of cloth. You shouldn't wet embroidery before ironing or use a steam iron.

Embroidered hats and backpacks Embroidered hats and backpacks can be wiped clean with a damp cloth in the spots where it's needed. Hats can be hand-washed cold if necessary.

Both hats and backpacks can't be machine-washed, bleached, tumble-dried, ironed, and dry-cleaned. Read the manufacturer label carefully for any other instructions.

All-over printed apparel All-over printed apparel can be machine-washed cold with like colors, without bleach. You can tumble-dry the apparel on low heat. It can't be ironed and dry-cleaned.

All-over printed sweatshirts, hoodies, and joggers All-over printed sweatshirts, hoodies, and joggers have cotton in their fabric, and it makes their care different from other all-over print products. So, while they can be machine-washed cold with like colors and ironed on low heat, they can't be tumble-dried or dry-cleaned. Don't use bleach while washing.

Sublimation socks, blankets, towels, and laptop sleeves Sublimation socks, blankets, towels, and laptop sleeves can be machine-washed cold with like colors at no more than 86ºF (30ºC). Don't use bleach and don't dry-clean. It's best to hang-dry, but tumble-drying can be used on a low cycle if necessary.

Bags All-over print backpacks need to be hand-washed, and they can be tumble-dried on low heat. The backpacks can't be bleached, ironed, or dry-cleaned.

All-Over Print Fanny Packs, Beach, Tote, and Drawstring Bags can be machine-washed without bleach on a cold cycle. After washing, they can be tumble-dried on low heat. They can't be ironed, or dry-cleaned.
