Care Instructions & Print Techniques

Thank you for welcoming these pieces into your life. May they bring you the same grounding, clarity, and quiet beauty they bring me.

We want to help you keep them looking great for as long as possible. Our products use various printing methods, and following the right care instructions for your specific item type ensures longevity and prevents damage. Whether it's printed apparel, embroidered hats, or home goods, proper care makes a big difference in how your product wears over time.

Direct-to-Garment (DTG)
DTG printing method is where water-based ink is sprayed directly onto the fabric. This process creates high-quality, full-color designs that are soft, breathable, and long-lasting. We use high-quality inks and DTG printing technology for vibrant, lasting prints. 

Washing:  Machine-wash cold, inside-out, on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use mild detergent. Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. Avoid fabric softeners. Don't dry-clean.
Drying: Hang-dry or tumble-dry on low.
Ironing: Use a cool iron inside-out. NEVER iron the print.

Proper care prevents fading, cracking, and shrinking.

Direct-to-Film (DTFlex)
DTFlex printing offers vibrant colors that last longer than the fabric itself.  

  1. The design is printed onto a special transfer film with water-based inks
  2. The ink on the film is then coated with a special adhesive powder
  3. Then, the design is transferred onto the fabric using a heat press

Please Note: Initially, DTFlex prints may feel slightly stiff, but they become smoother and more elastic after a few washes, ensuring longevity. They are resistant to cracking and fading, even with heavy use and cold to lukewarm washes. 

Washing: Machine-wash cold, inside-out, on a gentle cycle. Use the recommended amount of detergent. Don't use fabric softeners.
Drying: Tumble-dry on low or air-dry for longer-lasting results.
Ironing: Use a cool iron inside-out. NEVER iron the print.

Embroidered Products 

Apparel
Washing: Machine-wash cold, inside-out, on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent. Chlorine bleach is okay in small amounts (non-chlorine is better). If you see color residue, rinse in lukewarm water, then cold water several times - don't rub the embroidery.
Drying: Avoid soaking or piling while wet. Don't wring out the fabric. Use a cool air tumble-dry setting.
Ironing: Iron inside-out, ideally between two cloths. Don't steam or wet the embroidery.

Hats
The best way to clean your caps is by hand-washing them. Machine-washing can ruin the shape and damage the embroidery.
Washing: Use a mild detergent (no bleach) in lukewarm water. Gently spot-clean with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid using brushes. If you're unsure, you can also check the manufacturer's label or search online for hat cleaning tips.

All-Over Print Products (AOP) - Printing process and Care Instructions

  1. Your design is printed onto special sublimation paper.
  2. We use a heat press to transfer your design from the paper to the fabric or product surface. This embeds the design into the material so it won’t peel or fade.
  3. For custom apparel, we print your design on large rolls of white polyester fabric. Then we cut the fabric to shape using precision tools.
  4. Our sewing team assembles the product using industry-grade sewing machines.
