Frequently Asked Questions
What GSM is best for basic t-shirts?
Single jersey at 160–180 GSM is the standard choice for lightweight t-shirts and summer basics, while 190–220 GSM gives a more structured, everyday t-shirt hand-feel.
What is the difference between combed and carded jersey?
Combed jersey has a softer, cleaner surface with less pilling and suits premium basics; carded jersey is more cost-effective with a slightly coarser texture, better suited to promotional garments and linings.
Can I order lycra jersey in a small trial quantity?
Yes — the 50 kg per color minimum applies to lycra jersey as well, so buyers can trial a single color and GSM before committing to a full production run.
