Will the customized polo shirt shrink or fade? How to avoid it?

When many business leaders customize polo shirts for the first time, they will worry about a question: will this batch of clothes shrink and fade a few times? After all, work clothes represent the company's image, and no one wants employees to turn into "old clothes" after wearing them twice?

Let's talk about the conclusion first: Whether a customized polo shirt shrinks and fades mainly depends on the fabric, process and washing method, not the "customization" itself. Choosing the right supplier can be durable and crisp.

Why does it shrink?

Pure cotton fabrics naturally have a shrinkage rate, generally around 3% -5%. If the manufacturer cuts corners and omits the "pre-shrinkage treatment" link, the ready-to-wear will become significantly smaller after being launched into the water. In addition, high temperature drying and hot water washing will also accelerate fiber shrinkage.

Second, why does it fade?

Dark polo shirts (especially black, navy blue, and red) are most likely to fade. If the dyeing process is poor, the color fixing is not in place, or if you soak or expose to the sun for a long time when washing, the color will turn white and flower.

3. 4 ways to effectively avoid shrinkage and fading ✅

① Choose the right fabric: Priority is given to combed cotton + polyester fiber blended, or pre-shrunk pearl cotton, which has much higher stability than ordinary pure cotton.

② Look at the process: high-quality manufacturers will do active printing and dyeing and high-temperature color fixing, and the color fastness can reach level 4 or more.

③ Correct washing: hand wash or machine wash in cold water below 30 ° C, gently gear, reverse wash, do not use bleach.

④ Dry in the shade to avoid the sun: After washing, lay it tiled or hang it in a cool place to dry, and do not expose it to the sun.
