Organic Fibers Used In Making T-shirts In T-Shirt Printing
The t-shirt printing industry has recently been involved in keeping the environment safer and healthier. The rising popularity of water-based inks and the burgeoning support for fair trade certified organic t-shirts in t-shirt printing are just two examples of this corporate social responsibility and sustainability.
To start with, t-shirt manufacturers have begun using organically grown fibers. These fibers were not exposed to pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other agricultural chemicals. This makes them safer to wear for those with sensitive skin, particularly children.
Using Cotton Fiber In T-Shirt Printing
Cotton is the most preferred fiber for clothing manufacturers. Its wash and wear capability makes cotton the most common fabric from underwear, clothing, towels, robes, and even household linens like sheets and curtains.
It is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites. This means it is safe to wear for those who are allergic to dust or have sensitive skin or asthma. Cotton can absorb moisture from skin and draw the heat away from the body, which makes cotton clothing perfect for summer.
When it comes to t-shirt printing, cotton t-shirts are the best choice. They are easy to dye and they blend well with other fabrics such as Lycra. They are durable and strong even when wet. They are also long lasting and versatile.
These qualities are just a few of the best reasons to use cotton t-shirts. The most important reason of all is its effect on the environment. It is biodegradable and produces less than 10 percent waste during processing.
Using Bamboo Fiber In T-Shirt Printing
Although there are many advantages to cotton, bamboo seems to be as good as or even better than cotton. Bamboo fabric is soft like silk and it is naturally antibacterial. It also absorbs moisture from skin, but it dries twice as fast as cotton.
These qualities make bamboo fabric ideal for clothing and other textile use. It can keep the skin cool during summer and warm during winter.
Aside from these benefits, there are other advantages of using bamboo t-shirts. The most important, of course, is the benefit to our environment. Bamboo, like cotton, is biodegradable because it is made from bamboo pulp. It is also free from pesticides and other chemicals, which results to less chemical waste.
In t-shirt printing, bamboo fabric is not bleached using chlorine. Dyeing bamboo fabric uses less water than conventional methods and do not need chemicals for the colors to stick to the fabric. The production of bamboo t-shirts, therefore, has a low impact on the environment.
Using Hemp Fabric In T-Shirt Printing
Unlike cotton and bamboo, the use of industrial hemp in manufacturing t-shirts remains minimal. The acceptance of hemp clothing is still not widespread because people mainly associate the fiber with marijuana.
However, like cotton and bamboo, growing hemp and using it to produce organic clothing is a good way to reduce industrial waste and protect the environment. It is also organically grown, which means it needed less industrial-grade fertilizers and pesticides.
In t-shirt printing, hemp fabrics provide a safe alternative to the synthetic fibers in t-shirts. They leave no chemical residue that can affect our health. Hemp t-shirts also protect us from the harmful UV rays by blocking them more effectively than other fabrics do. Aside from that, old hemp t-shirts and other hemp clothing can be recycled and reused.
The t-shirt printing industry will surely benefit from using t-shirts made from these organic fabrics.
