Care instructions
Our products from the Lifestyle category are individually manufactured, printed or finished depending on the item. To ensure that the fabric, print and fit last as long as possible, here is an overview of the most important care instructions.
Please always observe the care instructions on the respective product page and on the garment label.
General care instructions for printed textiles
Printed textiles should generally be washed and treated gently. To protect the print, we recommend:
- Before washing, turn the garment inside out
- wash with similar colors
- use mild detergent
- wash at 30 °C to 40 °C if possible
- do not wash unnecessarily hot
- do not apply aggressive stain remover directly to the print
- do not rub, scratch or wring out printed areas vigorously
- do not tumble dry if possible
- do not iron directly on the print
Even if individual textiles allow higher temperatures according to the care label, we recommend more gentle care for printed goods, as heat, friction and aggressive detergents can put more strain on the print in the long term.
Meaning of different care symbols
| |
Wash at a maximum of 60°C (our recommendation 40°C) and turn the printed side inwards. Use mild detergent and wash with similar colors. |
| The garment can be treated with oxygen bleach (e.g. all-purpose detergent). | |
| Do not bleach the garment. | |
| Tumble dry on a gentle cycle. | |
| Do not iron hot, meaning up to a maximum temperature of 110°C. Preferably without steam. | |
| Do not dry clean. |
Notes on different printing processes
Depending on the product, we use different printing and finishing processes. Care may vary slightly depending on the type of print.
DTG – Direct to Garment
With DTG printing, the ink is printed directly onto the textile. This creates a soft feel, as the print is usually barely perceptible on the fabric.
DTG prints should be cared for particularly gently. Wash the garment inside out, preferably at 30 °C to 40 °C, and avoid high temperatures, strong friction and tumble drying. This will help preserve the colors and print image for longer.
DTF – Direct to Film
With DTF printing, the design is first printed onto a special film and then transferred to the textile using heat. DTF prints are generally vibrant in color and durable, but depending on the size of the design, they may feel slightly smoother or more film-like.
For DTF products, we also recommend gentle care: wash inside out, do not wash too hot, do not iron directly over the print and avoid tumble drying if possible. Particularly large printed areas should not be heavily creased, stretched or rubbed.
Screen printing
Screen printing is a classic and very durable printing process for textiles. The ink is applied directly to the fabric through a screen. Screen prints are usually very robust and washable.
Nevertheless, the following also applies here: Gentle care extends the lifespan of the product. Wash the garment inside out, avoid unnecessarily high temperatures and do not iron directly over the print.
Important
Our care recommendations are intended to preserve the life of the textile and print for as long as possible. Damage caused by improper care, washing too hot, tumble dryer heat, direct ironing heat, aggressive detergents or strong mechanical stress can impair the durability of the print.
