Description

The Russell Athletic Authentic Zip Hooded Sweatshirt is a dependable everyday layer with a clean, classic look. Built for comfort and easy wear, it is a strong choice for team clothing, college societies, staff uniforms and casual branded merch.

The cotton faced outer gives it a smart finish that works well for custom decoration, while the brushed back fleece adds a warm, comfortable feel. A full length covered zip makes it easy to throw on over tees and polos, and the front pouch pockets add practical everyday convenience.

Details such as the double fabric hood, ribbed cuffs and hem, and durable coverseaming help give this hoodie a quality feel suited to regular use. The relaxed drop shoulder styling also makes it ideal for laid-back fits and modern branded apparel.

The Printing Process

What is DTF Printing?

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a modern technique that allows us to print your design with incredible detail, colour, and durability onto garments.

Your artwork is printed onto a specialist film, then heat-pressed onto the fabric. This creates a soft, flexible finish that sits neatly on the garment without cracking or fading.

Why we use DTF

Sharp, vibrant results

DTF captures fine detail, gradients, and bold colours far better than many traditional methods. perfect for logos, illustrations, and multi-colour designs.

Works on almost any fabric

Cotton, polyester, blends, DTF handles them all. No need to worry about fabric type limiting your design.

No minimums

Because there’s no setup like screen printing, we can produce one-off items or small runs cost-effectively.

Durable and long-lasting

The print is designed to stretch with the fabric and hold up wash after wash without cracking or peeling.

What does DTF look and feel like?

DTF prints have a smooth, matte finish. They’re soft enough for everyday wear, while still giving your design strong opacity, even on darker garments.

When is DTF the best choice?

DTF is ideal if you:

  • Have a detailed or full-colour logo
  • Want smaller quantities without high setup costs
  • Want to print in multiple locations on a single item
  • Need flexibility across different garment types
  • Want a reliable, consistent finish every time

Why choose us for DTF printing?

We produce everything in-house using professional equipment, meaning:

  • Consistent quality across every order
  • Fast turnaround times
  • Careful checking of your artwork before print
  • Full proof approval workflow
