Why Choose the Gildan G420 for Custom Printing?

First, the Gildan G420 is made from 5 oz. polyester jersey with Aqua FX wicking. It pulls sweat away from the skin, so athletes stay drier and cooler.

The fabric also has Freshcare anti-microbial properties and resists snags. As a result, it is a smart choice for teams that train hard and wash often.

Gildan G420 Fit and Feel

The G420 has a classic athletic fit with a rib knit collar and double-needle hems. Because polyester does not shrink much, most people order their true size.

Best Uses for the Gildan G420

Sports teams, running clubs, and 5K races, because the fabric wicks sweat.
Summer camps and outdoor field days.
Gyms, trainers, and fitness classes.
Crews who work outdoors in hot weather.

Screen Printing or Embroidery on the Gildan G420

Screen printing on the Gildan G420 needs the right ink and a lower curing heat, because polyester can be sensitive to heat. Our production team handles this for you. For example, a bold team name on the front with numbers on the back is a classic athletic setup. Also, bright colors look great on this smooth fabric.

Not sure which method fits your design? Read our guide to screen printing vs. embroidery, or simply ask our team for advice.

How the Gildan G420 Compares

The Gildan G420 is a strong choice, but it is not the only option. For example:

Pick the Next Level 6010 if you want a soft stretchy triblend.
Go with the Gildan Softstyle G640 if you want a soft cotton everyday tee.
