Product notes

More details

Construction & Closure

The SS4500Z shares the same 8.5 oz 80/20 cotton-poly 3-end fleece as the SS4500 pullover but adds a full-zip front closure. The zipper splits the front panel, which is the primary design consideration for sellers — chest prints must work across or alongside the zipper line, making this blank better suited to left-chest logos, back prints, or embroidered designs than large front graphics.

Material & Build

Three-end fleece construction with ring-spun yarn provides a smooth exterior face. The specs also list side-seamed construction and a tear-away label.

Print Compatibility

Compatible with DTG, DTF, embroidery, and screen print. Embroidery works particularly well on zip hoodies since left-chest placement avoids the zipper entirely. DTG and DTF prints are typically applied to the back panel or smaller front-chest areas.

Buyer FAQ

Common questions

How does the SS4500Z differ from the SS4500?
Same 8.5 oz 3-end fleece and construction. The SS4500Z has a full-zip front closure instead of pullover. The zipper splits the front panel, affecting print placement options.
Can you print on the front of the SS4500Z?
Yes, but the zipper splits the front panel. Left-chest logos, small graphics, and back prints work well. Large front-spanning designs are better suited to pullover hoodies.
What print methods work with the SS4500Z?
DTG, DTF, embroidery, and screen print. Embroidery is well-suited to zip hoodies since left-chest placement avoids the zipper.
What fabric is the SS4500Z made of?
80% cotton / 20% polyester at 8.5 oz in 3-end fleece construction with ring-spun yarn.
Does the SS4500Z have a tear-away label?
Yes. The tear-away label can be removed for custom neck label branding.
