Textile printing refers to the process of applying designs, logos, lettering or images to textiles. Various fabrics such as cotton, polyester, non-woven fabric, blended fabrics and the like fall under this category. There are no limits to what can be printed, as from Clothing and Bags about Bed linen, Upholstery and Blankets up to Seating furniture Anything can be printed on. Special colours or films are processed in such a way that they bond firmly to the material and remain durable even after numerous washes. Depending on the process – such as digital printing – detailed, colour-rich and customised designs can be produced to perfection.

To ensure your printed products remain looking good and in good condition, proper care is essential. Please check each individual product to see if specific care instructions are provided, and be sure to follow them. As a general rule: T-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies and covers made from polyester fabric can be washed at 30 °C. Tube scarves, bibs, aprons and bed linen can be washed at 60 °C. Other water-repellent fabrics, such as beanbags or similar products, are best cleaned using only a damp cloth and a mild detergent. This preserves the print quality and ensures the fabrics look as good as new for a long time.

druck.at tip: Turn T-shirts and other printed clothing inside out before washing to keep the print looking good for longer. You should also wash new clothing before wearing it for the first time, partly to remove any manufacturing odours. This is completely normal and will disappear after the first wash.
