Screen Printing
Screen printing is typically going to be the preferred, most cost effective method for zips. Pricing is based on quantity and number of design colors.

Custom Full Zip Hoodies - Things to Consider
Not all zip up hoodie are the same! They come in different brands, weights and even different fabric contents. Check out these few points to help you in selecting the right full zip up hoodie for your group or project.
- The Higher the Tread Weight, The Heaver the Hoodie – Are you wanting this for cold weather or for a more mild climate? The tread weight of full zip up hoodies typically starts at about 6.0 oz with the average weight being around 8.5 oz. This is the weight of the actual thread that is used to sew the zip ups and not necessarily the actual hoodie weight itself. If you are looking for something heavy and for colder weather, consider ordering a 9oz thread weight or above. Typically, the lighter the full zip up the cheaper the hoodie will be, but that is not always true.
- What Fabric Content do you need? – The fabric content of your custom full zip up really comes into play if you are looking to do our full zips with no minimum quantity requirement. While screen printing has a minimum 6 pieces, digital printing has no minimum. When utilizing our digital printing services, you’ll need to pick a full zip up hoodie that is over 80% cotton. Don’t forget that if you are looking for a dri-fit performance full zip hoodie, stick to 100% polyester.
- Go with Your Favorite Brand – Brand is something that does matter, especially if you know what you like. While Gildan & Hanes hoodie jackets are probably are most popular brands for full zip up hoodies, there are certainly some other brands that offer some great benefits. If you want soft, check out the Independent Trading Co. brand. If you want something that is really trendy, check out Bella + Canvas brand. Sometimes you can get something that better suits your needs for not a lot of money, so be sure to check with our team if you need help selecting the right zip up for your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Full Zip Sweatshirts
Yes, as long as the design is exactly the same including the print locations and colors. We are not able to print over the seam of zips, so to print those together, both will need to have a left chest location.
While some hoodies do offer a zipper cover, we still do not recommend printing over the zipper. The zipper creates an un-even surface so ink will clump, miss spots and will look yucky. We recommend the left chest location.
Cotton sweatshirts will shrink a little bit more, but tend to wear cooler. Cotton/Poly is the most popular, and economical fabric content. If you want something really soft, look for a triblend or product with rayon in it. Fully polyester will give you an athletic feel, but also conduct static.
We offer direct to garment digital printing, screen printing and embroidery. Ask us about applique as well!
