If screen printing of garments containing polyester potentially leads to undesirable results – does that mean all polyester based products are bad?
Absolutely not. In fact, depending upon the intended use…garments with a high polyester content might even be preferable! For instance, materials woven together with polyester usually offer higher levels of resistance against wrinkles and stains. Most of your “easy care” garments are made in this manner – just remove it from the drier and provide a good, solid shake before hanging. Quite often, the item is ready to wear and looks nice enough that no touch-up with an iron is necessary! What could be easier? Products containing polyester are an excellent choice for any organization that desires to keep its staff members looking sharp. But in terms of decoration, polyester garments typically lend themselves to embroidery – but not screen printing.
