Jerzees 562B - Youth NuBlend® Fleece Crew - Black

The Jerzees 562B is an 8 oz 50/50 cotton-poly youth crewneck sweatshirt built on NuBlend pill-resistant fleece with a high-stitch-density construction. That high-stitch density is the operative specification for decorators: the tighter fabric face reduces ink migration into the nap, produces sharper halftone edges on screen prints, and gives DTF transfers a firmer surface to bond against. The 562B carries a CPSIA-compliant tracking label, making it a correct blank for decorated youth programs where garment labeling for under-12 apparel is a requirement. Sizes run S through XL in the standard youth range.

For screen printing, the NuBlend high-stitch-density fleece holds plastisol ink with less nap interference than standard open-fleece construction. On coloured 562B sweatshirts, the 50% polyester content creates dye migration risk on dark, red, and saturated grounds. Use a low-bleed or poly-blocking underbase and cure at the minimum effective temperature to prevent bleed-through. White and ash garments print without a migration risk and take a standard white or light-ground setup. For DTF heat transfers, the 50/50 blend bonds reliably with DTF adhesives. Press firm to seat the film into the fleece nap, typically 10 to 15 seconds at standard fleece transfer settings. For embroidery, the 8 oz fleece weight supports left-chest logo placements on youth chest panels. Scale the stitch count down relative to an adult garment and use a cut-away backing to prevent tunneling on the lighter youth body. For vinyl and HTV, press at standard low-poly time and temperature settings given the 50% polyester content.

The quarter-turn construction eliminates the centre front crease that creates a registration reference point some printers use. Account for this when loading the platen or use a peel-away centre tape instead of a fold reference. Colour consistency across 562B production runs is in line with standard 50/50 fleece dyeing, but as with any pigment-reactive-dye programme, confirm lot numbers if exact colour matching across a multi-shipment order is required.
