Understanding Synthetic Materials and Sublimation Printing:

Before delving into care instructions, let's briefly touch upon what these materials entail. Synthetic fabrics like ITY (Interlock Twist Yarn), canvas, and chiffon are popular choices in modern manufacturing due to their durability, versatility, and often, their ability to retain shape and color vibrancy over time.

Sublimation printing is a technique that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials, resulting in vivid, long-lasting prints that seamlessly blend with the fabric.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing:

    • Use cold or lukewarm water when washing synthetic material products to prevent damage to the fibers.

    • Use a gentle cycle to minimize friction, and place the items in a mesh laundry bag if you want to be extra careful (like for the Knit Chiffon products).

    • Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as they can weaken the fibers and cause colors to fade.

    • Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the print's vibrancy.

  2. Drying:

    • Air drying is the best option for synthetic materials. Lay the items flat on a clean, dry surface to prevent stretching or misshaping.

    • If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the fabric and print.

    • Our products undergo a pre-shrink process during sublimation, ensuring they will not shrink further. While this allows for safe drying in a machine, please be aware that it may accelerate the wear of the fabric's fibers.

  3. Ironing:

    • Most synthetic materials are prone to melting or burning under high heat, so it's essential to use a low-heat setting when ironing.

    • If necessary, place a thin cloth or press cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent direct contact and potential damage.

    • Usually, our products and materials are all wrinkle-free and will not need ironing.

Conclusion:

By following these care instructions, you can prolong the life and beauty of your synthetic material products and sublimation printed items. Remember to handle them with care, and they will continue to delight you with their quality and vibrancy for years to come.

Not following these instructions may cause premature aging of the fabric not covered for defects.
