About Interlock Fabric
Interlock Fabric for Custom Apparel
Interlock Fabric is a double-knit construction known for its smooth surface, balanced structure and comfortable feel. Compared with typical single jersey, interlock generally has a denser construction and a smooth appearance on both sides. These characteristics make it useful for custom T-shirts, polo T-shirts, uniforms and selected sportswear.
Interlock can be produced using different fibres, including cotton, polyester and suitable blends. Therefore, its performance depends on the actual fibre composition as well as GSM, yarn and finishing. Cotton interlock can provide a soft natural feel, while polyester interlock can offer lower moisture absorption and faster drying characteristics.
The fabric’s relatively stable construction gives garments a more structured appearance. It can also provide a useful surface for logos and other customization. As a result, businesses can consider interlock when they want apparel with more body than a lightweight single-jersey T-shirt.
Different GSM options allow buyers to select the fabric according to garment style and application. However, GSM alone should not determine quality. Fibre composition, knitting, finishing and garment construction are equally important.
Interlock Fabric for Corporate Uniforms & Sportswear
Businesses can use Interlock Fabric for corporate apparel, employee uniforms, staff T-shirts, sportswear and promotional clothing.
Polyester interlock is particularly relevant for sports and sublimated apparel. Suitable white or light-coloured polyester interlock provides a smooth surface for detailed sublimation designs. Meanwhile, cotton or cotton-blend interlock can suit selected corporate and everyday apparel requirements.
Interlock can also support embroidery. Its denser construction generally provides more stability than lightweight mesh. However, backing and stitch density should still match the garment.
PaaPi Creations supports customized interlock apparel according to fibre composition, GSM, colour, garment type and branding requirements.
For corporate, uniform, sports and promotional applications, interlock provides a versatile fabric construction for customized bulk apparel from MOQ 100 Nos.

Interlock fabric generally provides a stable surface for embroidery because of its relatively dense double-knit construction. Suitable backing or stabilizer can help maintain the garment shape, particularly with larger logos. Stitch density should match the GSM and fibre composition. Medium-sized corporate logos generally suit structured interlock better than very lightweight fabrics, although a sample is advisable before bulk production
