Large – 85cm length (excluding neck strap) 74cm wide
Child – 80cm length (excluding neck strap) 55cm wide
Image Reproduction
We cannot guarantee your image will reproduce on fabric exactly how it appears on your screen. This is because all screen technologies vary enormously and also due to the printing process and the fabrics that we use. Colours may also vary subtly from print run to print run.
Best results are achieved when your image is uploaded to us at the required print size or that have sufficient resolution to be increased to your required print size. Please also consider the exposure of the image (a balance between light and dark in the image) as a rule of thumb it’s better for the image to be a bit lighter than a bit darker.
If you would like to trial your image or a design before committing to a full cushion we recommend our Test Print Service similarly, if you are unsure about the image you wish to use please contact us prior to purchase so that we can offer advice.
Fabric Composition
The fabric used for the apron is comprised of 100% cotton with a weight of 210gsm. The cotton is coated with a solution that holds the ink droplets and prevents them from expanding and thus delivers a sharper image definition and reduces fade following washing.
Apron neck and straps are made from herringbone webbing.
Printing Process
Cotton aprons are printed using the direct to fabric printing process and then heat set to ensure colour fastness.
Apron Care
We recommend machine washing cotton aprons at 30 degrees centigrade and that they are removed from the washer immediately. Either hang dry or tumble dry on a low setting. The nature of the fabric means that the fabric will shrink and fade somewhat following washing, however, these will drastically increase in higher temperatures so adherence to the recommended temperature is necessary to avoid this happening. Aprons are manufactured with a care label sewn into them.
