How Our Fabrics Are Printed

Polyester and synthetic fabrics: Poly Spandex 4-Way Knit, Polyester Linen and Polyester Fleece are sublimation printed using a process suited to polyester fibers. Polyester Outdoor uses a specialized printing process and formulation designed for water-repellent performance and 500+ hours of UV lightfastness.
Printed fabric arrives finished and ready to sew, so no pre-washing is required.
