Printed Fabric for Children — What Should You Choose?

Printed fabric for children’s clothing demands colourfastness, good elasticity, and documented certifications. For large-scale production of children’s wear, digital print jersey fabric is by far the most sought-after choice: it combines excellent crosswise stretch with sharp, colourfast prints that withstand wash after wash. At Jydsk Stoflager, you will find exclusively designed prints not available anywhere else.

Which Fabric Types Are Used for Printed Children’s Clothing?

For most children’s clothing — T-shirts, leggings, bodysuits, pajamas, and sweatshirts — manufacturers primarily work with jersey fabric. Our digital print jersey fabric in 220 g/m² is 160 cm wide and composed of 95% cotton and 5% lycra. This provides the elasticity and shape retention that children’s clothing production requires without the garments losing their fit after use.

For sweatshirts and more casual styles, french terry fabric weighing 235–240 g/m² is an excellent alternative — good weight, soft on the inside, and easy to work with in production. It works well as a backing for printed panels or combined with rib knit for trims.

What Makes Digital Print Jersey Fabric Suitable for Children’s Clothing?

Digital printing allows you to apply detailed, richly coloured motifs directly onto the fabric — without the limitations that rotary printing imposes on colour count and repeat length. For you as a clothing manufacturer or brand owner, this means:

• Sharp details and vibrant colours that hold up wash after wash
• Consistent colour reproduction from roll to roll — critical when handling large orders
• Exclusive designs — AI-generated and manually refined in Photoshop, unavailable from other suppliers
• GOTS certification on most of the range — documentation your customers expect
• Minimum 10 meters per order line, allowing you to test a design without committing large capital

The certification is worth highlighting to your customers. Parents of children wearing the garments increasingly demand proof of responsible production — and GOTS is the certification that counts in the market.

What Is the Difference Between 200 g/m² and 220 g/m² for Children’s Clothing?

Jydsk Stoflager stocks digital print jersey fabric in two weight classes: 200 g/m² with 150 cm width and 220 g/m² with 160 cm width — both made of 95% cotton and 5% lycra. The choice depends on your production needs:

• 200 g/m² — lighter drape, suitable for T-shirts and summer wear, takes up less space when stacked
• 220 g/m² — more body in the fabric, retains shape better in bodysuits and leggings, recommended for year-round collections

For children’s clothing, we see that most manufacturers prefer 220 g/m² as standard — it fits better on active children and is more forgiving in pattern cutting and sewing.

Rib Knit for Trims on Children’s Clothing

No children’s clothing collection is complete without rib knit. Our rib jersey fabric at 240 g/m² is circular knit and available in widths of 35–45 cm, made of 95% cotton and 5% lycra, Oeko-Tex 100 certified. It is used for sleeve cuffs, necklines, and leg openings — anywhere you need an edge that returns to shape after stretching. Solid-colour rib combined with a printed digital print jersey fabric is a classic construction that works well in production and sells well in stores.

Delivery and Minimum Order — What Applies?

Jydsk Stoflager delivers stock items across Europe with delivery in 1–3 business days — primarily to Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. All fabrics are in stock and ready for dispatch. The minimum order is 10 meters per fabric type, regardless of the type you order.
