Team 365 TT31 - Men's Zone Performance Quarter-Zip - Sport Dark Navy

The Team 365 TT31 is the Men's Zone Performance Quarter-Zip, a 3.8 oz 100% polyester interlock pullover built for active and athletic programs where moisture management and decoration quality both matter. The full-polyester interlock substrate is what defines the decoration plan: at 100% polyester, the TT31 is one of the few quarter-zip blanks in the wholesale market that takes a full-panel dye sublimation print with no dead-fabric compromise. Cationic dyes give the solid base colours a vivid, colourfast finish that holds through repeated wash cycles. The athletic fit runs a tapered men's cut in XS-4XL, and the centre front coil zipper uses a semi-autolock slider with a rubber pull for a clean, functional finish on team and corporate programs. UPF 40+ sun protection is rated in the construction, which matters on outdoor sport and recreation orders where the buyer needs that spec documented. Decoration starts at the blank selection decision: any order that requires full-panel sublimation, all-over treatment, or vibrant full-chest colour fill routes here, not to a cotton or cotton-blend quarter-zip.

On a 100% polyester interlock blank, the decoration priority list reverses from a cotton fleece. Sublimation is the primary and most capable method on the TT31: heat-transfer sublimation bonds directly into the polyester fibres, produces a wash-fast all-over print without a film layer or ink buildup, and works cleanly across the entire 12-colour card. Full-panel layouts, gradient fills and photo-realistic art all execute on the TT31 in a way that no cotton or blended quarter-zip can match. DTF is the second method for single-area decorations, print logos or chest hits without a full sublimation setup. DTF bonds well to polyester at standard heat and pressure, stays soft and flexible on the interlock knit, and works across all 12 colours, including the deeper Sport Dark Navy, Sport Maroon and Sport Graphite shades. Screen printing on 100% polyester requires a low-bleed, low-cure ink system and a poly-block underbase on any coloured ground; a standard plastisol press at a typical cure temperature will produce dye migration on a polyester substrate, so this method suits shops that are set up specifically for performance-wear screen printing. Embroidery suits the TT31 for left-chest placement: the interlock construction is stable enough to hold a moderately dense left-chest stitch with a cut-away backing, and the athletic fit carries a logo cleanly. Keep embroidery density moderate on 3.8 oz performance fabric and use a backing layer to prevent puckering. Vinyl and HTV bond cleanly on the polyester interlock at standard heat and low pressure; use a Teflon sheet to protect the surface, and favour a sport-grade or stretch-tolerant HTV to match the knit's movement. DTG is not a practical route on this blank: standard DTG pretreat is formulated for cotton and will not bond correctly to a 100% polyester substrate; dye migration will also compromise the white underbase layer. Discharge printing does not apply because there is no cotton fibre to strip; the polyester will not react to discharge chemistry.

The non-commodity angle on the TT31 is the cationic dye system. Most wholesale polyester blanks use disperse dyes, which produce a serviceable colour but can shift slightly during printing processes that apply heat. Cationic polyester uses a modified fibre structure that bonds to cationic (positively charged) dyes at a molecular level, producing deeper, more saturated base colours and higher wash-fastness ratings than standard disperse-dyed polyester. For a decorator running sublimation, this means the sublimated print sits on a base colour that does not wash-fade at the rate a standard poly tee would, which matters on team uniforms or staff uniforms expected to last a full season or programme cycle. TheClothingSpace stocks the TT31 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.
