PRODUCT
What Is GSM?
GSM is the short form of “Gram per Square Meter”. It is not possible for a non-industry person to determine the GSM of a garment unless a lab test is done to determine the same. It is very unfortunate that a non-industry person normally while comparing the price of a garment of various manufacturers use G.S.M.as a bench mark.
What is the common Round Neck GSM?
160 & 180 GSM is a common GSM for round neck t-shirts.
What is the common polo GSM?
220 & 240 GSM is a common GSM for polo t-shirts.
Do Higher GSM (Thicker Garments) Last Longer?
This is a myth, thickness of a garment does not guarantee its longevity.
Higher GSM T-Shirts Available In Market at Lower Price?
The quality of a t-shirt is assured only by quality of raw materials & processes and not simply by GSM. In order to give cheaper prices many companies increase the GSM alone and compromise on other parameters like using inferior quality carded/semi combed yarn, dyeing processes with cheaper dyes with no color fastness, steam calendaring instead of compacting, and printing with substandard dyes. And the garments are made by sub-contracting to local job work units without any quality inspection or procedure.
As a result of this, the t-shirt looks heavy but it will fail in all other qualities like dyeing fastness, feel, finish, shrinkage control, print quality
Does Pricing varies with GSM?
Yes, The Pricing will change with respect to GSM. Lower the GSM, Lower the fabric consumption thus lower the price.
What is the difference between combed/semi–combed/carded T shirts?
There are various qualities of cotton yarn. Combed cotton is superior to semi or carded. Cotton balls start surfacing after a few washes if the yarn is a semi combed or carded.
Will my T shirt shrink?
Knitted cotton always shrinks on wash. However, the shrinkage is reduced by a process of compacting the fabric whereby the shrinkage is less than 5% (internationally accepted norm.)
Will the T Shirts bleed color?
T-Shirts may bleed on first wash if Dark colors, PaaPi Creations T-Shirts are guaranteed for color fastness. T Shirts will not fade away on frequent wash. Color Bleeding & fading normally occurs when poor quality of dyes are used to save on cost of manufacture.
