What is Lycra Fabric?
Lycra, or Spandex is a synthetic material that has an exceptional amount of stretch. Invented in 1958, and introduced in 1962, it has drastically impacted a lot of the clothing market. Spandex is actually an anagram of the word expands, which is exactly what this amazing material is known for. Lycra has a great number of uses from wrestling and gymnastics apparel, to sportswear, leggings, skirts, underwear, and swimsuits. Lycra is also widely used in compression garments, and for cosplay.
How Custom Lycra Fabric Printing is Done
We use digital printing methods that are done with environmentally friendly inks to create a permanently bonded, full-color print onto your chosen custom printed lycra fabric. After that, it can be finished in a number of ways. Have it sent exactly as it comes from the printer or opt to cut on the line with the white edging removed. Should you prefer, you can even opt to have your custom Lycra fabric printing hemmed using black or white thread and an overlock stitch.
