A4 Goes Green with Recycled Polyester
A4, manufacturer of premium sportswear and team uniforms, is now making all its most popular apparel, and the vast majority of its line, with recycled polyester.
FULL STORYOne Stop, Grand Rapids, Mich., has announced the Enza Chalk Collection, which uses made-in-the-USA fabrics to create garments that are sewn, then dyed for styles with their own saturated wash and matte finish.
The resulting garments feature chalk-soft colors and soft, gently worn fabrics. Ladies’ tees and fleece styles are available in sizes XS-4XL.
Apparel decorators using the direct-to-garment (DTG) printing method also will enjoy the print performance of the Chalk Collection tees, according to the company.
“TheT-shirts in our ladies’ Chalk Collection are 100% cotton and perfect for printing with digital transfer equipment or direct-to-garment printers,” says Merriah Moore, an Enza designer. “We recently visited a local customer to test how these shirts held up in the DTG process and everyone was impressed with the results. The Chalk tees are exceptional for garment printing because of the tight weave that prevents any drip through on the ink. We also saw no dye migration or heat effects on the fabrics or designs.”
The Chalk Collection is featured in One Stop’s main apparel catalog and in the independently produced Enza catalog, both released last month. — J.L.
