How to prevent t shirt designs from cracking

To prevent T-shirt designs from cracking, follow these tips:

Use high-quality, durable materials for the design, such as heat transfer vinyl or screen printing inks.

Pre-wash and gently stretch the T-shirt before applying the design to minimize fabric shrinkage.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for heat and pressure settings when applying the design. Avoid excessive heat or pressure, as it can cause cracking.

Allow the design to fully cure or set before washing. Give it enough time to bond with the fabric for better longevity.

Turn the T-shirt inside out before washing, and wash it in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.

Dry the T-shirt on a low or delicate heat setting, or air-dry it to prevent excessive heat that can damage the design.

Avoid ironing directly on the design. If needed, iron the T-shirt inside out or use a pressing cloth to protect the design.

By following these precautions, you can help preserve the integrity of the T-shirt design and prevent cracking.
