Is the apparel fabric treated before printing?

Updated 23 Oct 2026 Products & materials By the Fabrixa support team

Short answer

Yes. Our apparel fabric is mercerised, enzyme-washed and sanforized before printing.

That gives a smooth surface and a subtle lustre, which suits premium and luxury casual lines.
