Basic Softshell Jacket

Providing unrivalled quality is important to you, your customer, and to us here at Helloprint Connect. 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 Connect preapproved garment to minimise delays. The substitute garment will be as close in design and quality to the original.

If you are looking for a specific brand in the list of brands mentioned, please contact us and request a quote.

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.

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.

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.

To make sure your clothing looks better for longer, follow these washing instructions. Also make sure to pay attention to the washing instructions on the care label.
- Wash inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees
- Do not iron on the print

Printing Basic Softshell Jacket 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.
