What to expect in 2025

As we head in to 2025, these are the trends to keep an eye on. From heavyweight styles and puff ink to retro designs and pastel colors, this year’s top trends offer something for every brand, team, or organization.

The tl;dr

  • Heavyweight + Boxy Fit

    Heavyweight tees and fleece continue to gain popularity. Boxy and oversize fit is also on the rise. These relaxed silhouettes combine comfort with style.

  • Puff Ink + Jumbo Prints

    Puff ink is a great way to highlight key elements like text, logos, or bold graphics. Push the bounds of your canvas with jumbo prints up to 17" x 23."

  • Retro Designs + Pastel Colors

    It's cool to be nostalgic, retro prints and throwback designs are still our top request. Combine with pastel earth tones and you've got an on-trend style.

  • Eco-Friendly

    As demand for eco-friendly apparel rises, brands are embracing organic, recycled, and responsibly sourced materials to drive positive change.

Heavyweight Heroes

Heavyweight tees and sweatshirts are a hit with everyone for their premium feel. These thick, durable garments offer the perfect canvas for custom designs. Whether it’s a staple tee for everyday wear or a cozy sweatshirt for layering, heavyweight pieces elevate your collection with instant quality. Ideal for a streetwear-inspired look, they’re built to stand the test of time.

Puff It Up

Remember puff paint back in the ‘80s? Well, as all trends do, puff ink has made a comeback and is growing in popularity in the t-shirt screen printing world.

These versatile shades offer a timeless appeal, effortlessly blending style and adaptability for various occasions. Earthy hues complement the popular boxy silhouettes, adding a layer of refinement to any design. Their subtle elegance makes this palette ideal for brands seeking a clean, natural aesthetic.
