Jerzees 562 - Unisex NuBlend® Fleece Crew - Light Blue

The Jerzees 562 is the NuBlend Crewneck Sweatshirt, the value 8 oz 50/50 cotton/polyester fleece crew built around its print face. The NuBlend yarn is the point: a tightly knit, high-stitch-density pill-resistant fleece that stays smooth wash after wash instead of fuzzing up, so a printed or embroidered logo holds crisp on it longer than on a budget open-fleece crew. That makes it the crew a shop reaches for when a program needs the cheapest decoration-ready 50/50 crewneck at volume, the default for school and team fleece, workwear and uniform programs, event and fundraiser sweatshirts, and any high-volume run where a smooth anti-pill canvas and a low unit cost decide the order over a premium crew.

The 562 prints like a value 50/50 fleece with the one trap every blend carries: the polyester half wants to migrate under heat. For screen printing, which the high-density anti-pill face is built for, the smooth seamless body gives a clean canvas that holds bold spot colour; on dark colours lay a grey poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature so the dye does not bleed into the ink. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the fleece face at standard heat-press settings; on the darker colours use a low-bleed film and a controlled press temperature to keep migration out of the print. For embroidery, the 8 oz fleece is a stable base for a chest or full-back design; run a water-soluble topping over the fleece nap so the stitches sit crisp on the surface and do not sink. For DTG, the 50/50 blend migrates and prints more muted than a 100% cotton garment, so it is workable on the lighter colours with a blend pre-treat but is not the crew's strength. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl holds on the smooth face when pressed at a controlled temperature to limit dye bleed on the darks. Two methods do not apply: water-based discharge needs the dye to strip from 100% cotton, which the 50/50 polyester will not do, leaving only a faded tonal result, and the cotton-dominant blend is not a polyester sublimation substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: the solid colours run a true 50/50 while Oxford is a 49/51 and the heather colours carry more polyester, so confirm whether your colour is a solid or a heather before a repeat run, because the poly-rich colours migrate more and need a heavier underbase and a lower cure. Pair the 562 with the Jerzees 996 NuBlend Pullover Hoodie when a program wants the same anti-pill fleece in a hooded body on the same artwork, and cross-shop the Hanes P1607 EcoSmart crew when a job wants a recycled-poly 50/50 crew instead.
