It looks great, holds your print beautifully, and keeps customers (or teammates) coming back for more.

Best Men’s Hoodies for Printing
1. AS Colour Men’s Supply Hood (AS-5101)
The AS Colour Supply Hood is one of the most popular men’s hoodies in Australia for a reason: it’s built for printing. With a heavyweight fleece construction and a premium cotton-rich blend, it delivers exceptional results with screen printing, DTF, and embroidery. The fabric face is smooth and consistent, which means your design sits flat and prints cleanly without ink bleed or uneven coverage.
The relaxed fit makes it versatile enough for streetwear brands, corporate casual, and team uniforms alike. AS Colour is well known in the Australian custom apparel market for its consistent sizing and quality control, two things that matter enormously when you’re ordering in bulk.
Ideal for: Screen printing, DTF printing, embroidery
Best uses: Brand merch, team wear, retail collections, events

2. AS Colour Mens Stencil Hood (AS-5102)
If you want a clean, minimalist canvas for bold graphics or detailed artwork, the AS Colour Stencil Hood delivers. It features the same premium fleece build as the Supply Hood but with a slightly different cut, making it a great option if you’re designing for a fashion-forward or streetwear audience.
The heavyweight construction means it holds structured prints well, and the smooth external surface ensures sharp edges on both screen prints and DTF transfers. Available in a solid colour range that works well for any brand palette.
Ideal for: Screen printing, DTF printing, embroidery
Best uses: Streetwear drops, event merch, branded workwear

3. AS Colour Mens Premium Hood (AS-5120)
For buyers who want to step up to a more refined finish, the AS Colour Premium Hood is the go-to. It uses a higher-grade fleece blend that feels noticeably softer and more substantial than standard blanks. The Premium Hood is particularly well-suited to embroider; the heavier fabric gives needlework a stable base, reducing puckering and keeping stitches looking crisp.
It’s the kind of hoodie people keep for years, which is exactly what you want when your branding is printed on it.
Ideal for: Embroidery, screen printing, DTF printing
Best uses: Premium merch, corporate gifting, branded uniforms

4. AS Colour Mens Faded Hood (AS-5105)
The AS Colour Faded Hood is for brands that want a vintage, lived-in aesthetic right out of the box. The garment-washed finish gives it a soft, broken-in feel and a slightly faded look that’s hugely popular in streetwear and lifestyle brand spaces.
Because of the washed finish, this hoodie works best with embroidery or heat-applied transfers rather than standard water-based screen printing; the pre-washed texture can affect ink adhesion. But for embroidered logos or DTF prints, it looks outstanding.
Ideal for: Embroidery, DTF printing
Best uses: Lifestyle brands, vintage-inspired merch, fashion drops
Design this hoodie →
5. AS Colour Mens Official Zip Hood (AS-5103S)
Not every brand wants a pullover. The AS Colour Official Zip Hood brings the same premium quality to a full-zip silhouette, a popular choice for sports teams, corporate uniforms, and brands that want a more functional, versatile style in their collection.
The zip makes it easy to layer, and the construction is just as print-friendly as the rest of the AS Colour range. Great for left-chest embroidery, sleeve prints, or back graphics.
Ideal for: Embroidery, screen printing, DTF printing
Best uses: Sports teams, corporate wear, branded uniforms

6. JB’s Wear Mens Fleecy Hoodie (JB-3FH)
The JB’s Wear Fleecy Hoodie is a solid all-rounder for bulk orders.

The fleece interior keeps it comfortable in cooler weather, and the classic pullover silhouette works for pretty much any application.

What to Look for in a Hoodie for Printing
Before we get into the products, here’s what actually matters when choosing a blank hoodie for custom printing:
Fabric composition: Cotton-rich blends (generally 60% cotton and above) are the gold standard for screen printing and DTG. They absorb ink well, produce vibrant colours, and feel soft against the skin. Polyester content adds durability and reduces shrinkage, so a good 60/40 or 80/20 cotton-poly blend gives you the best of both worlds.
Fabric weight: Best fabric weight for hoodies midweight hoodies (around 280–320 gsm) are versatile for most custom print jobs. Heavyweight fleece (320 gsm+) is better for premium drops, team uniforms, or winter apparel.
Surface smoothness: A smoother face fabric gives sharper, more detailed print results. Ring-spun or combed cotton provides a tighter weave that holds ink and thread consistently.
Construction quality: Look for features like ribbed cuffs, double-stitched hems, and a structured hood. These details affect how long the hoodie and your print hold up over repeated washes.
Size range: Especially important for team orders or retail collections where you need to accommodate a range of body types.
What is the best hoodie fabric for printing in Australia?
A cotton-rich blend, generally 60% cotton or above, gives the best results for screen printing and DTG. Cotton fibres absorb ink well and produce vibrant, long-lasting colours. Polyester content adds durability and reduces shrinkage. The AS Colour range uses premium cotton-poly fleece blends specifically suited to custom decoration.
Can you print on zip-up hoodies?
Yes, we can print on zip-up hoodies. Zip-up hoodies work well with embroidery (particularly left-chest logos), sleeve prints, and back graphics. Screen printing and DTF can also be applied around the zip area with proper placement. The AS Colour Official Zip Hood and JB’s Wear Full Zip styles are popular choices.
What’s the minimum order quantity for printed hoodies?
T-Shirt Plus caters to both small and large orders. Get a quote for your specific requirements and our team will advise on the best method and pricing for your order size.
How do I choose between screen printing and embroidery for hoodies?
Screen printing is better for large, colourful graphic designs and bulk orders. Embroidery is better for logos, text, and branded applications where a premium, textured finish is desired. If you’re unsure, our team can advise based on your artwork and order quantity.
Do you offer kids’ sizes for custom hoodies?
Yes, we stock kids’ hoodies from brands including AS Colour, Biz Collection, and Aussie Pacific. Browse the full kids’ range or speak to our team about matching adult and junior styles for school or team orders.
How to Choose the Right Printing Method for Your Hoodie?
Selecting the right blank is only half the job; pairing it with the right printing technique makes all the difference to the final result.
Screen printing is the most popular method for bulk hoodie orders. It produces vibrant, long-lasting colours and is cost-effective when you’re printing the same design across multiple garments. Works best on cotton-rich fleece blanks with a smooth face fabric.
Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is ideal for detailed, multi-colour designs or smaller runs where screen printing setup costs don’t make sense. DTF works across a wide range of fabric types, including polyester-cotton blends, and produces a flexible, durable print that washes well.
Embroidery adds a premium, tactile quality to logos and text that’s particularly popular for corporate branding, team uniforms, and upscale merch. It works best on heavier-weight hoodies with a structured build; the AS Colour Premium Hood and Biz Collection styles are particularly well suited.
Digital transfers are a great option for small runs or one-off pieces, offering flexibility without compromising on print quality.
