Plus size sports bras allow brands to expand their collections with:
· Extended size ranges

For brands building modern activewear collections, inclusive sizing is becoming an important competitive advantage.

Screen Printing
Screen printing remains the go-to for bold chest logos, large back graphics, and sleeve prints on pullovers. We offer plastisol for full opacity, water-based for feather-soft breathability, and foil for striking metallic accents — all with wash-resistant durability that won’t crack or fade.
-
Plastisol: best for dark fabrics and high-coverage solid designs.
-
Water-based: ideal for light-color garments and large-area prints that need a “no-feel” touch.
-
Foil: perfect for adding premium metallic shine to logos and lettering.
-
-
Puff · High-Density · Discharge
For designs that demand texture and dimension, screen printing offers puff for raised relief, high-density for extra-thick builds, and discharge for soft, dye-removed patterns. Each creates a unique tactile experience while maintaining excellent washability.
-
Puff: gives a soft, cushioned 3D effect, ideal as embroidery alternative.
-
High-density: builds extreme thickness for bold lettering and geometric shapes.
-
Discharge: removes background dye for smooth, breathable prints on dark cotton.
-
-
Flock · Crack · Stone Texture
Add distinctive surface effects with screen printing specialties: flock for velvety softness, crack for vintage distress, and stone texture for rugged natural grain. These techniques transform ordinary pullovers into statement pieces with unique tactile and visual identities.
-
Flock: delivers a fuzzy, warm touch, great for fall/winter logos.
-
Crack: creates random, antique-looking cracks for a rebellious vibe.
-
Stone texture: mimics natural rock grain for outdoor or workwear styles.
-
-
Reflective · Glow-in-the-Dark · Holographic
Push the boundaries of visibility and futuristic style with specialty screen printing: reflective for safety and sporty shine, glow-in-the-dark for magical after-dark effects, and holographic (laser) for rainbow iridescence. All are durable and add a tech-forward edge.
-
Reflective: enhances nighttime safety and works well on activewear.
-
Glow-in-the-dark: lights up in darkness, attracting young/trendy consumers.
-
Holographic: shifts colors with viewing angle, ideal for statement logos.
-
-
DTG · Reactive · Acid Digital
Digital printing eliminates screens and minimum orders. We offer DTG for direct cotton printing, reactive for vivid cellulose dyeing, and acid for brilliant silk/wool prints. All deliver photo-quality details with a soft, breathable hand feel, perfect for small batches.
-
DTG: best for quick-turn, high-detail designs on cotton.
-
Reactive: ideal for cotton/linen with excellent colorfastness.
-
Acid: specially for silk, wool, and nylon with bright, shiny results.
-
-
3D Digital Printing
3D digital printing pushes beyond flat imaging to create tactile, sculptural effects directly on fabric. Using advanced UV-curable inks and layer-by-layer build techniques, it produces raised textures up to 2cm thick—from oil-painting brushstrokes with ultra-high color fidelity, to pixel-block mosaics, to cylindrical bead-like patterns that mimic puzzle-piece graphics. It’s the ultimate choice for brands seeking visual impact and designer-level distinction.
-
Ultra-high texture & color fidelity: reproduces fine art brushstrokes with 1440 DPI precision.
-
Raised dimensional effects up to 2cm: creates beads, pixels, and sculpted forms that are both seen and felt.
-
No screens, no MOQ: ideal for samples, small batches, and creative brand storytelling.
-
-
DTF · Rhinestone Transfer · Offset Heat Transfer
Heat transfer technologies offer versatility for full-color and decorative prints. We provide DTF for dark-fabric opacity, rhinestone transfer for sparkling crystal motifs, and offset transfer for photo-grade realism. All are easy to apply with excellent durability.
-
DTF: works on any fabric/color, with excellent stretch.
-
Rhinestone transfer: adds dazzling crystal shine, great for parties/evening.
-
Offset: delivers photo-quality, fine details for complex images.
-
-
Rhinestone & Embellishment
Rhinestone & embellishment techniques add glamour and tactile richness. Hotfix rhinestones give crystal brilliance, sequins create shimmering movement, and beadwork offers artisanal luxury. These decorations elevate pullovers to statement fashion pieces.
-
Hotfix rhinestones: quick application, dazzling light reflection.
-
Sequins: produce a sparkling, fish-scale-like effect, great for stagewear.
-
Beadwork: intricate hand-made or machine-sewn, ideal for high-end couture.
-
-
Flat Embroidery
Flat embroidery remains the classic choice for brand identification. We offer standard flat for clean logos, chain stitch for decorative outlining, and multi-color for vibrant, playful designs. Each provides a professional, durable finish that withstands repeated wear.
-
Flat: cost-effective, neat stitches, ideal for monochrome logos.
-
Chain stitch: interlocking loops, best for contours and vintage styles.
-
Multi-color: rich palette, perfect for characters and floral art.
-
-
3D Embroidery
3D embroidery techniques add height and texture. Toothbrush creates upright bristle-like stitches, towel gives soft loops, and appliqué layers cut fabrics for dimensional patches. These are signature finishes for streetwear and premium casual wear.
-
Toothbrush: stiff, upright threads, unique visual and tactile.
-
Towel: fluffy, looped surface, excellent for large motifs.
-
Appliqué: uses fabric patches, reduces thread consumption, adds rich texture.
-
-
Washing & Distressing
Washing & distressing techniques give pullovers a lived-in, vintage character. Destroy wash creates intentional rips and fraying for a rugged edge; snow wash adds irregular white speckles; and monkey wash uses potassium permanganate spray to produce organic, light-bleached spots that mimic monkey-fur patterns. Each yields unique, non-repeatable effects perfect for edgy streetwear and casual vintage styling.
-
Destroy wash: features ripped holes, worn areas, and frayed seams for a bold deconstructed style.
-
Snow wash: irregular white spots like snowflakes, highly random.
-
Monkey wash: sprayed bleaching creates soft-edged, natural light patches with a subtle vintage feel.
-
-
Fabric Manipulation
Fabric manipulation techniques reshape the surface without ink. Embossing presses raised patterns, laser engraving vaporizes designs precisely, and pleating creates permanent folds. These add refined texture and structure, elevating pullovers to designer level.
-
Embossing: permanent raised relief, no color change.
-
Laser engraving: fine, customizable patterns, eco-friendly.
-
Pleating: regular or irregular folds, adds movement and rhythm.
