Product Functions & Uses

Cotton Spandex Printed Pique is crafted to deliver a balance of comfort, stretch, and moisture-friendly performance, making it ideal for garments that require movement without compromising shape. Its pique texture enhances breathability, keeping wearers comfortable even during high-activity scenarios. The added spandex provides flexible recovery, preventing deformation and improving long-term wear resistance. This makes the fabric especially suitable for polo shirts, T-shirts, sportswear, golf apparel, children’s apparel, casual uniforms, and lifestyle fashion pieces. Its print capability also adds value for brands seeking custom patterns, logos, or seasonal styles.

Product Features

This fabric stands out due to its structural pique weave, which improves airflow and enhances tactile comfort. The cotton component ensures a soft, skin-friendly feel, while spandex allows for adaptive stretch, supporting various body movements. The material is engineered for excellent print absorption, producing vivid, long-lasting, and non-fading patterns suitable for premium branding or design-driven collections. It offers shape retention, wrinkle resistance, color fastness, and excellent durability through repeated washing. In addition, the fabric exhibits a natural drape and moderate weight, achieving a refined, high-quality appearance in the final garment.

Instructions for Use

For best results during production and garment creation, we recommend pre-shrinking the fabric before cutting to ensure dimensional stability. Use standard sewing equipment with stretch-compatible needles and threads to preserve elasticity and avoid seam breakage. When incorporating printed patterns, align cutting layouts carefully to maintain design consistency across panels. For end-user care, garments made with this fabric should be machine washed in cold or warm water, using mild detergents and low-temperature tumble drying to preserve print clarity and fabric elasticity. Avoid bleach and high-heat ironing directly on printed areas.
