Sweating is a good thing. It cools down the body and maintains the proper temperature for the body. And the most important about sweating, sweat glands help our skin filter toxins out of the body, which in turn boosts our immune system. What’s sweating got to do with screen printing or shirt printing? Well, we are asked a lot about what garment to use for the custom printing team’s uniform. We custom screen print a lot for volleyball teams, soccer teams, basketball, dodge ball, and baseball teams. And for those teams who have not ordered their team uniform before, they want something that’s good for sweating. Good meaning the sweat liquid quickly moves to the outer layer of the screen printed garment.

Enter the synthetic fabric or mostly know as moisture-wicking or simply 100% polyester. This type of fabric handles wetness better than traditional materials, like 100% cotton. Cotton shirt, even on a low-intensity activity, cotton gets soak with sweat easily and it tends to keep the sweat on its threads for quite a while. But with polyester, sweat dissipates more rapidly and as a result, you can play more comfortably with a dry shirt. Depending on how bad they want the sweat out or not, some sports clubs or teams still prefer cotton over polyester.
