What is grammage?
Gram weight is generally used to indicate the thickness of the fabric, the greater the weight, the thicker the clothes. The weight of a T-shirt is generally between 160 grams and 220 grams. Too thin will be very transparent, and too thick will be stuffy. Generally, it is better to choose between 180-280 grams. (Short-sleeved T-shirts are generally based on 180-220 grams. This thickness is just right to wear. Long-sleeved T-shirts generally choose 260 grams of fabric, which is thicker)

What are the crafts of school polo shirt printing?
School polo shirt printing is basically divided into screen printing and transfer printing.
Screen printing: The technology is relatively complex, mainly including design, film production, printing, printing, and drying steps. The advantages of screen printing are high color fastness, durability and washability. The screen printing plate-making cost is relatively high, so mass production is required to reduce the cost, and it cannot meet the printing of single or very small batches.
Transfer printing: also known as heat transfer. The advantages are bright color and simple technology. The disadvantage is that the pattern has poor durability, is not resistant to abrasion, and is not resistant to washing.
