Guide to hoodie fabrics and properties

Not all blank hoodies are created equal. The material, composition, and weight all affect how your design prints and how the hoodie feels and lasts. Let’s break it down.

Fabric blends

Most blank hoodies for printing are made of cotton-poly blends. Cotton adds breathability and softness, while polyester brings stretch, durability, and fade resistance. Together, they improve print clarity and long-term wear.

Cotton types

Different cotton styles impact how your hoodies look and feel:

• Regular—standard and affordable

• Ring-spun—softer and more durable

• Ring-spun combed—smoothest surface and high-end quality

• Organic—soft and eco-friendly (less water used in production)

Fabric weight

The weight affects warmth and breathability. Lighter hoodies (lower g/m2 or oz/y2) are better for layering or summer wear. Heavier weights offer warmth and structure—ideal for winter or premium collections.

See how the weights compare in the table above and find the best hoodie thickness based on your design and seasonal demand.

How to choose the best hoodies based on fulfillment method

Choosing the right method is key to creating good-quality hoodies. Below, we break down Printful’s main customization techniques and which hoodie styles work best for each one.

Top blank hoodies for DTG printing

DTG printing is great for detailed, colorful designs on t-shirts and blank hoodies. It prints ink directly into the cotton fibers, creating soft, breathable, and long-lasting results.

Best DTG-compatible blank hoodies: 

• Unisex Premium Hoodie

• Unisex Eco Raglan Hoodie

• Premium Eco Hoodie

• Gildan Unisex Heavy Blend Hoodie

• Unisex Fleece Zip Up Hoodie

Tip: DTG works best on 100% cotton materials or poly blends.

Top blank hoodies for DTF printing

Direct-to-film or DTF printing delivers vibrant, durable designs—even on thick or textured hoodies. The ink is printed onto PET film, coated with adhesive powder, and heat-pressed onto the material. The design sits on top of the fabric and sticks well to textured materials.

Featured blank hoodies that support DTF: 

• Premium Eco Hoodie

• Unisex Oversized Hoodie

• Under Armour Hoodie

• adidas Fleece Hoodie

Tip: DTF works well on a wide range of fabrics, including tri-blends, and is especially great for canvas-like materials and bulky hoodie styles where DTG might struggle.

Top blank hoodies for embroidery

Embroidery adds a polished, high-end finish that elevates any hooded sweatshirt—great for a premium or limited edition collection. It’s best for logo designs, text, or minimalist graphics.

Want to stand out with gradients? Printful’s unlimited color embroidery lets you do just that.

Blank hoodies that support embroidery: 

• Unisex Eco Raglan Hoodie

• Premium Eco Hoodie

• Unisex Fleece Zip Up Hoodie

Tip: Embroidery suits brands targeting upscale streetwear or minimalist aesthetics.

Best plain hoodies for all-over print sublimation

Sublimation printing (or all-over printing (AOP)) creates bold, full-coverage graphics on synthetic hoodies. It’s perfect for custom sportswear, artistic apparel, or standout branded collections that turn heads.

Best hoodies for AOP: 

• All-Over Print Recycled Unisex Hoodie

• All-Over Print Recycled Unisex Zip Hoodie

Here’s a quick recap of the best hoodies for each printing method—plus when and why to use them.

Best hoodie branding options

After you’ve chosen the hoodie and customization method, it’s time for branding. Customizing hoodies with your company’s logo helps strengthen brand awareness. 

The popular choice—add your logo to an inside or outside label. If your hoodie doesn’t feature a custom label, we recommend incorporating your branding into the design. Logos and business names shine best with embroidery.

Explore different branding options and create an unforgettable unboxing experience for your customers.

What’s the best hoodie for customization?

The right hoodie depends on your audience, design goals, and branding. Consider the fabric, weight, printing type, and pricing. Then, calculate your margins and what customers are willing to pay.
