Custom Cotton Fabric Printing

What is custom-printed cotton fabric?

Cotton fabric is one of the oldest fabrics in the world and incredibly popular to print on. It is a natural fibre that derives from the seedpod of the cotton plant. Printed cotton can be knitted or woven into a cloth, and the 2 most common weaves are plain and twill. There is also a satin weave, which produces sateen. Cotton fabric printing is also available on luxe textiles, such as velour, chambray or velvet, and everyday fabrics like flannel or corduroy.

Cotton is a crop, which has been cultivated for more than 7,000 years, and it has become even more popular now that fabric technology allows it to be blended with other textiles. This includes synthetic materials that add durability, flexibility, and luxury.

Some popular custom-printed cotton fabrics and personalised cotton blends include:

  • Cotton Lawn – very lightweight, cool, smooth and hard-wearing
  • Organic Half-Panama Cotton – rustic half-Panama made from 100% organic cotton
  • Cotton Linen – natural fabric made with cotton and linen
  • Real Cotton Silk Satin – lustrous silk face and strengthening cotton back 
  • Cotton Satin – 100% cotton satin fabric
  • Cotton Twill – classic twill weave with a breathable nature

How is custom cotton fabric manufactured?

Cotton goes from crop to cloth through a mechanical process known as ginning. Cotton fibres are separated from the seeds and are taken to a textile mill, where the fibres are cleaned and straightened in a carding machine. This creates a thin and soft strand known as a 'sliver'. These slivers are then spun into yarn to form the cotton we all know. This is then used to weave or knit cotton fabric, normally made in a loom. 

Then the process of cotton fabric printing starts. The ink fuses deep into the custom cotton fibres without peeling off, so your cotton keeps its natural handle.

Purposes of cotton fabric printing

Cotton is known for its versatility, durability, and softness. Cotton fabric printing is widely available, which makes it very popular for craft and sewing projects. It is mainly used for clothing of all kinds and underwear or homeware like bedding. It even has industrial purposes, such as uniforms, tarpaulins, tents, etc. Your design will give your custom-printed cotton fabric a unique and exclusive look.

Properties

Printed cotton fabric has many properties, which makes it one of the world’s most loved materials. Some of the most noted properties include:
  • Easy to care for and clean
  • Comfortable to wear in all climates
  • Breathable and moisture wicking
  • Retains body heat in cold weather
  • Can be sterilised 
  • Easy to handle and sew
  • When blended with other fibres, it is less prone to wrinkles and shrinkage
  • Takes dye easily
  • Resists pilling and moths
  • Weakens from extended exposure to sunlight
  • Resists abrasion
  • Your unique design

Advantages of cotton fabric printing

Custom-printed cotton fabric has many advantages: it benefits the environment, your body, and your bank balance. When you blend cotton with other fabrics, there are even more advantages, such as strength, durability, and being less prone to creases.

Printing on cotton keeps the fabric soft, natural, and breathable but also hypoallergenic, meaning it won’t irritate sensitive skin or cause allergies. Natural cotton contains no chemicals, and it is highly breathable, which means it is great for wearing close to the body in all seasons. It absorbs moisture and draws it away from the skin, and it can also draw heat away, keeping you cool.

Cotton is strong and durable, holds up well to repeated washing in hot water, and it's inexpensive.
