At GearTrailz, we use state-of-the-art direct-to-garment (DTG) printing technology to deliver high-quality, vibrant designs on a wide range of garments—all at an affordable price. Unlike traditional screen printing, DTG printing uses advanced ink that requires specific care to maintain the longevity of your custom prints.

Important Care Tips for DTG-Printed Apparel

To preserve the quality of your print and the integrity of your garment:

• Avoid high temperatures: Washing or drying at high heat can cause prints to fade or crack and may shrink 100% cotton fabrics.

• Follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Turn the garment inside-out and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and chlorine bleach unless necessary.

  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry for maximum durability.

  • Ironing: If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side but never iron directly over the printed design.

  • Dry cleaning: Not recommended for DTG-printed items.

Caring for Sublimation Apparel

Sublimation prints are more durable and can withstand washing at any temperature without compromising quality. However, for best results:

• Wash with similar colors to prevent bleeding.

• Avoid high heat settings during washing and drying to reduce the risk of fabric shrinkage.

By following these simple care tips, you can ensure your custom prints stay vibrant and your apparel remains in top condition.
