April 28th, 2021 – In the garment printing and manufacturing industry, understanding product quality is critical, as is compliance with government safety regulations. We proudly manufacture Supacolour on-site, in our factories in the US, UK and New Zealand, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards. Therefore, Supacolour has implemented thorough, laboratory testing procedures on our products, conducted by certified, third parties.
First, we engaged a U.S laboratory called Intertek Testing Services, for a rigorous review of our heat transfer’s durability through machine washing. The results were stellar. No damage (such as cracking or colour fading) was seen on our prints until the 70th wash cycle, at which point only minimal cracking began to appear.

Next, we underwent child safety testing in regard to product safety testing. Our goal was to confirm that our products meet a range of safety specifications, particularly for children’s products regarding the toxicity of materials. We’re proud to announce that our water based, phthalate free, lead free inks and adhesives passed these tests with flying colors.
