To care for the fabric and keep it in good condition, it is important to follow the washing instructions indicated on the label.

Ironing should be done at a low temperature, and it can be tumble dried at a reduced temperature.

The printing technology used in the manufacturing of this fabric is sublimation. Sublimation refers to the process of transferring ink through heat and pressure, turning the ink into gas and fusing it with the fabric fibers. This process allows for the creation of high-quality designs with a large amount of detail. In addition, since the ink turns into gas, no excess waste is produced in the printing process, making it a more ecological and sustainable option.
